Well there is no guide on the web which I'm aware of. But to my experience, scripting the shell has it's limitations you might want to try the python sdk, which is more useful or if you need some webapp anyway use the rest api. you could also script the rest api using e.g. curl but I wouldn't recommend that. there is documentation on this here: https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtu… https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtu… you can basically substitute rhev with ovirt. there still seems to be no updated dev guides for 3.4 though. I have automated everything via REST, as I have php devs who did the work ;) There are still some things you can't do via rest, like creating network qos entities (attaching them to a vm works but you need to create them manually). But in the future everything will use rest, so I guess this is the best way to go.

Thin Provision Not Work
by Paul.LKW 10 Jul '14

10 Jul '14

Hi All: I find an issue in Thin Provision with oVirt, when I create a virtual disk I click the option Thin Provision (assign disk space 30G and actually it use 1G only), so I should see in the storage this disk for nearly 1G image file too. However it shows 30G image file. Any hints could fix this for using Thin Provision? BR, Paul.LKW

ovirt-shell
by Steve Kilduff 10 Jul '14

10 Jul '14

Hi All, Trying to add a nic to a vm with a specific mac address. [oVirt shell (connected)]# add nic --vm-identifier ov31 --network-name backend --name eth4 --mac-address HH:HH:EE:HH:HH:01 ======== ERROR ============================= status: 400 reason: Bad Request detail: MAC address must be in format "HH:HH:HH:HH:HH:HH" where H is a hexadecimal character (either a digit or A-F, case is insignificant). ============================================= Also interesting is when I change the beginning of the mac address to 00 instead of HH, I get : [oVirt shell (connected)]# add nic --vm-identifier ov31 --network-name backend --name eth4 --mac-address 01:HH:EE:HH:HH:01 ============================================ ERROR ========================================== wrong number of arguments, try 'help add' for help. ============================================================================================= I have tried some things like enclosing in single and double quotes but no success. I have also tried to read the help sections on the shell interface but I also could not figure it out. Thanks in advance,

Disk's locked of VM
by Andy Michielsen 10 Jul '14

10 Jul '14

Hello all, Does anyone know how I can check if a VM's disk are indeed locked or not. The engine tell's me they are locked but this is now already 16 day's and counting. I already restarted every server involved but to no avail. I can not remove, change or start the VM as long as the disks are locked. Can I give a command to check the status of this machine in the CLI enviroment or after connecting to the database and checking a table (Realy don't know how to do this). Kind regards.

Docker containers for ovirt-engine
by Daniel Erez 10 Jul '14

10 Jul '14

Hi, I've created a couple of Docker images with a running ovirt-engine service and uploaded to the Docker registry [1]. Quite useful for quickly having a ready-to-use environment (tests, demos, etc) or to be used as a base image for building new Docker Images. Note that currently the container is not persistent by its nature, hence for saving changes, take use of the 'commit' functionality [2].

Need to understand if possible to provide the VM via 'uploading it'[1] 2. does this really merit a provider per external system? or just ability to choose source path (including simple nfs/posix path pointing to existing kvm disks or vmware vmdk's), or URI/user /passowrd for such a system if vsphere/etc.? I'm not opposed to allowing to define providers, I would just remember that's a specific single use case, and would separate the import/convert flow from being part of the provider (i.e., on the import/convert flow, would allow to choose the source being a path or a pre-defined provider) to sum above two points, I think the page should start with 'use cases': - I have a KVM VM i want to 'convert' to RHEV (doesn't need full v2v, but libvirt-->ovf conversion?) the VM(s) is/are in an nfs/posix path, or i want to upload the VM. - i have a folder with VMs/disks i want to convert (make sure this covers the ESXi flow) - I have a vsphere to import VMs from - I have Xen... (hope to see input from users on these. I'm sure there was a thread on this in the past, what do you know, i started one...[2]) 3. does this mean virt-v2v and all of its dependencies will be required by vdsm (and on ovirt-node). also, for distro's which have it, of the required windows components? 4. most important flow i would like to remove via this integration is the "double copy". i.e., if we run v2v from a host, there is no reason to not pre-create the VM/disks for it, and have v2v overwrite their content, instead of converting into the export domain just to perform another copy/import. (may mean you want virt-v2v to have a specific verb to just get the OVF, and a specific verb to convert a disk) [1] we want to support upload of an iso/VM/disks in any case.
