I keep getting 404 errors when trying to access anything under http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/ . Is anyone else seeing the same thing? "Is it down right now" is seeing the same thing. http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/resources.ovirt.org.html -- Cybertimber2005(a)gmail.com

When will ovirt add GPU/vGPU support in the admin portal ?
by lof yer 19 Jan '15

19 Jan '15

Since I recently saw cloudstack have add this( https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/GPU+and+vGPU+support… ). And iGVT( https://01.org/zh/xen/blogs/wangbo85/2014/intel-gvt-gxengt-pubic-release?la…) is released. If ovirt add this, it'll be very competitive for ovirt in VDI platforms.

ovirt 3.5 and power outages
by Kostyrev Aleksandr 19 Jan '15

19 Jan '15

good day, everybody! I've got three node cluster with power management enabled. As far as I understood to restart vms on the other host in the cluster in case when host suffered from power outage the engine has to be able to connect to host (specifically to vdsm) to be sure that host has been rebooted and it's not running any vms. But what if I'm running a lot of vms on the host and it's 3 o'clock in the morning and 1) engine has rebooted the host but the host cannot boot because of some hardware problem or new kernel gives a kernel panic? 2) the host's motherboard burned out and it cannot get booted so the engine will never connect to host and therefore all the vms that were running on that host won't migrate to other node in the cluster. So my cluster in that case is useless 'cause I'm not there to press "confirm host has been rebooted'. -- С уважением, Костырев Александр, системный администратор

Put the engine inside hosts after installation
by Mario Giammarco 18 Jan '15

18 Jan '15

Hello, I would like to try ovirt with hosted engine installation. I had so many problems (I have written them in another thread) so I will not try anymore hosted installation (up and running with ovirt 3.5 tutorial) But now I would try this approach: I install the engine on a dedicated server or as a virtual machine in another kvm based virtualizator. Now I create an ovirt cluster and use it. Can I after that install change my mind and so move the engine as a vm in the cluster? Or can I install a new engine in the cluster and powerdown the first engine? Thanks in advance for help, Mario

Low cost fencing/stonith devices
by Mario Giammarco 16 Jan '15

16 Jan '15

Hello, I ask this question again to see if there are some improvements. I am searching for a low cost stonith/fencing device for servers or hardware that has no ipmi/ilo on board. I see that there are some interesting products on the market like ubnt/mfi mpower that are controllable power outlets but there is no driver for them. In my use case WOL support will be enough (using it with ssh or shared storage fencing) but as far as I know WOL is not yet supported in ovirt. So is there some fencing device supported in 100/200$ price range? Thanks, Mario
