Hi, I have deployed guest ubuntu 13.04 & installed cloud-init 0.7.2 on it. But it seems it has a bug setting Network address auto lo eth0 (this line is missing) iface eth0 inet *none* address 172.29.250.13 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 172.29.250.1 so it is not brining up the eth0 I tried this through API Kindly help for work around. -- Thanks & Regards Tejesh

[Users] Fwd: [Engine-devel] Tweaking backup/restore of engine
by Sven Kieske 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

Hi, forwarding this mail to the users list: Does somebody do engine(DB) backups and restores without the content of the audit_log table? This one can grow quite large if you are using REST like it's meant to be (stateless, so a single login/logout event for every REST-Call). This can quickly accumulate 100.000 events and more. Does anybody got any experience with restoring engine without these logs? I'm talking about disaster recovery, so I want just to backup the necessary data to make the engine run. -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Engine-devel] Tweaking backup/restore of engine Datum: Mon, 3 Mar 2014 16:25:39 +0000 Von: Sven Kieske <S.Kieske(a)mittwald.de> An: engine-devel(a)ovirt.org <engine-devel(a)ovirt.org> Hi, currently all events are stored in the table audit_log which all gets saved when you use the engine-backup shell script. the event log is full of these login lines (engine 3.3.2): 25652 fdfc627c-d875-11e0-90f0-83df133b58cc admin@internal 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 \N \N \N \N \N 2014-01-20 06:39:17.222+01 USER_VDC_LOGIN 30 0 User admin@internal logged in. f \N \N 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 \N \N \N \N 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 \N oVirt -1 30 f \N this makes the log and db grow very large when you use the REST-API to query ovirt for various data. Is this necessary for a working restore? It would be cool if we could tweak the engine-backup tool to just dump necessary tables so you don't have to restore events from the past no one is interested in. How does ovirt react, if I do not restore the content of the audit_log table? If this works (restore without audit_log) I would prefer to have this code upstream in ovirt git so I don't have to maintain my own backupscript. Would it be possible to extend the existing backupscript with a switch to not backup logs? Currently it's just "all" or "just db". I also recall that there shouldn't occur multiple login events any more since ovirt 3.3. but it still seems to be the case. I also do not understand how you would manage a stored authentication via REST as REST is stateless. I would appreciate any feedback or thoughts on this topic. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Regards Sven Kieske Systemadministrator Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co.

[Users] Importing Glance images as oVirt templates
by Oved Ourfalli 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

Hi all! In oVirt 3.4 we extended the integration with Glance, allowing to import Glance images as oVirt templates. We also added a public Glance repository to be used by oVirt deployments. A reference to this repository is automatically added in 3.4, so you'll see it in the UI by default, under the name "ovirt-image-repository". This repository currently contains only a small set of images, but we hope to extend it soon. The right way to use the Fedora and CentOS images that are there is to import them as templates, create VMs from them, and use cloud-init to configure them. I wrote a blog post on how to use it. Have a look at http://ovedou.blogspot.co.il/2014/03/importing-glance-images-as-ovirt.html Will be happy to hear your comments and answer your questions, Oved

[Users] SPICE causes migration failure?
by Ted Miller 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

I just got my Data Center running again, and am proceeding with some setup & testing. I created a VM (not doing anything useful) I clicked on the "Console" and had a SPICE console up (viewed in Win7). I had it printing the time on the screen once per second (while date;do sleep 1; done). I tried to migrate the VM to another host and got in the GUI: Migration started (VM: web1, Source: s1, Destination: s3, User: admin@internal). Migration failed due to Error: Fatal error during migration (VM: web1, Source: s1, Destination: s3). As I started the migration I happened to think "I wonder how they handle the SPICE console, since I think that is a link from the host to my machine, letting me see the VM's screen." After the failure, I tried shutting down the SPICE console, and found that the migration succeeded. I again opened SPICE and had a migration fail. Closed SPICE, migration failed. I can understand how migrating SPICE is a problem, but, at least could we give the victim of this condition a meaningful error message? I have seen a lot of questions about failed migrations (mostly due to attached CDs), but I have never seen this discussed. If I had not had that particular thought cross my brain at that particular time, I doubt that SPICE would have been where I went looking for a solution. If this is the first time this issue has been raised, I am willing to file a bug. Ted Miller Elkhart, IN, USA

Re: [Users] oVirt 3.5 planning
by Juan Pablo Lorier 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

Hi, I'm kind of out of date at this time, but I'd like to propose something that was meant for 3.4 and I don't know it it made into it; use any nfs share as either a iso or export so you can just copy into the share and then update in some way the db. Also, make export domain able to be shared among dcs as is iso domain, that is an rfe from long time ago and a useful one. Attaching and dettaching domains is both time consuming and boring. Also using tagged and untagged networks on top of the same nic. Everybody does that except for ovirt. I also like to say that tough I have a huge enthusiasm for ovirt's fast evolution, I think that you may need to slow down with adding new features until most of the rfes that have over a year are done, because other way it's kind of disappointing opening a rfe just to see it sleeping too much time. Don't take this wrong, I've been listened and helped by the team everytime I needed and I'm thankful for that. Regards,
