[Users] Instructions to add a remote controlled power strip not in the native list?
by David Smith 16 Apr '14

16 Apr '14

We use Raritan / Dominion PX remote power blocks, is there a way to easily add support for these? On a feature request side, seems like adding support for generic wouldn't be too hard; just ask for what the login/password prompts look like, what the main prompt is, and the command sequence to turn on and off a port as well as logout.

[Users] hosted engine setup (NFS)
by René Koch 15 Apr '14

15 Apr '14

Hi, I installed hosted engine and faced an issue with NFS during installation. First of all, I'm using GlusterFS on my storage and ovirt engine doesn't support GlusterFS yet, only NFS. But for NFS I can't use mountprotpo=tcp as hosted-engine --setup doesn't ask for NFS options. So I manually edited the following file: /usr/share/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/plugins/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/storage/storage.py and changed opts.append('vers=3'): if domain_type == 'nfs3': fstype = 'nfs' opts.append('vers=3,mountproto=tcp') My question is now: is it possible to ask for NFS options during setup or do you think this can lead into problems? NFS via TCP worked fine for me for one week until I rebooted the host today (did reboot tests last weeks, too which was fine) and can't start hosted engine anymore (see other mail thread), but I think the other issue is not NFS mountproto related. -- Best Regards René Koch Senior Solution Architect ============================================ LIS-Linuxland GmbH Brünner Straße 163, A-1210 Vienna Phone: +43 1 236 91 60 Mobile: +43 660 / 512 21 31 E-Mail: rkoch(a)linuxland.at ============================================

[Users] using cloud-init?
by Jason Brooks 11 Apr '14

11 Apr '14

Hi all -- I've been trying, without success, to use cloud-init w/ oVirt 3.4 on Fedora 19 hosts. I've had similar failure in the past, but here are the steps I'm taking currently: 1. Import as template F19 image from ovirt-image-repository glance repo 2. Create new vm based on that template 3. Choose ovirtmgmt as the nic1 for the VM 4. Show advanced options, click initial run, expand authentication, enter a root password, paste my public key into the allowed ssh keys field 5. Hit OK, and then run the VM 6. In the VM's console, I see it complain about No instance datasource found 7. Unsurprisingly, I can't log in w/ pw or ssh. (By the way, are there any default creds for these images? I thought they might be based on the fedora cloud images, but their default uname fedora pw nothing doesn't work) I've tried some other derivations of this, launching from the Run Once menu, filling in various different fields, etc. Any clues? I don't see many people complaining about this, so I'm assuming it's working for other people. I don't know, maybe it's something with Fedora? Thanks, Jason

[Users] ovirt-guest-agent on debian?
by Boudewijn Ector 09 Apr '14

09 Apr '14

Hi Guys I was wondering wether anybody has the guest agent already working on debian guests. In m previous install I had a working setup but currently I only see Ubuntu packages. When using these ubuntu packages I really run quite fast into trouble due to the highly integrated nature of upstart in ubuntu. Has anybody got a suggestion for a debian package? Cheers, Boudewijn

[Users] Cloud-init for Windows
by Tejesh M 08 Apr '14

Hi All, I was doing google to see if i can set Hostname,Password & IP details for Windows server from RHEV-M. I got to know that we can create VM Payload & send that to Windows VM (installed with Cloud-init) Refer this link http://www.cloudbase.it/cloud-init-for-windows-instances/#comment-9411 Cloud-init expects Meta-data & User-Data file to be sent either via Config Drive or via HTTP. I'm trying to achive this via ConfigDrive (created using VM Payload). But i'm wondering what should be the format of this two files (Meta-data & User-data). Have any1 tried this? If yes, would request to share sample for both the files with setting Hostname, Password & IP details. Java code: org.ovirt.engine.sdk.decorators.VM vm1 = api.getVMs().get(vmName); Payloads payloads = new Payloads(); Payload payload = new Payload(); payload.setType("cdrom"); Files payloadFiles = new Files(); File payloadFile = new File(); payloadFile.setName("meta-data.txt"); payloadFile.setContent("hostname:"+vmName); payloadFiles.getFiles().add(payloadFile); payload.setFiles(payloadFiles); vm1.setPayloads(payloads); Action action = new Action(); vm1.start(action); -- Thanks & Regards Tejesh
