oVirt Browser Not Optimal
by Andrew Pease 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

I know this has been mentioned several times, but I'm unable to find a solution. On my Mac, I've tried Firefox, Chrome, Safari On Linux, I've tried Iceweasel and Firefox On Windows, I've tried Edge All of these state that the browser is not optimal and things either never render, or in the case of FF, render after about 2-3 minutes per click. Beyond the occasional break in speed, the browsers are completely inoperational. I'm at the end of the "oVirt Installation" in the oVirt Quick Start Guide ( https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/quickstart/quickstart-guide/) There's a lot of mention around Spice, but I think that's something further down the road after I can interact with the Engine portal. Any help would be appreciated on figuring out what secret handshake is needed to get a usable browser oVirt Engine: Version 3.6.3.4-1.el7.centos CentOS 7.2 Thanks in advance.

auto-remove snapshot created in live storage migration?
by Alastair Neil 01 Apr '16

Is it planned to allow the snapshots that are created during a live storage migration to be automatically deleted once the migration has completed? It is easy to forget about them and end up with large snapshots. -Alastair

ovirt-shell : Smart way to run a cmd WHEN another is finished?
by Nicolas Ecarnot 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

Hello, I'd like to night-batch series of actions through some ovirt-shell scripts. Amongst those actions, some are taking a very long time and are treated asynchronously by oVirt. (That may be exports, imports, snapshots, boot, shutdown...) Thus, after having send that long command, I've to find a way to know when to send the next one. I could script a kind of regular status check at determined interval, but I was wondering if there is a smarter way? (because my dumb way would imply for each check a connection. That looks heavy.) Thank you. -- Nicolas ECARNOT

Spice lags using a proxy / Spice foldersharing in oVirt / spice driver for win10
by Marco Bormann 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

Good evening everyone, I am Marco from Germany and I currently setup a oVirt environment in our data center. The current environment are 1 dedicated engine and 6 oVirt Hosts. I have three questions which I didnt get answered very well during my research in the WWW during the last days. So it would be very helpfull if someone of you can support me. We are using the cluster for normal VM usage and for VDI desktop virtualization with the Spice protocol. 1. Question We are using a spice proxy because we have some VMs reachable via the Engine and Spice external. Since we are using the proxy some users are observing some disconnects of the USB redirection and sometimes mouse and keyboard are not working in the session so that we have to restart the console. Are there some of you also using a proxy and may had the same behaviour and a workaround or fix for this? 2. Question We want to use the Spice foldersharing function but it is always greyed and not usable for us. I dont find anything in the web about the function in the Remote viewer. What is necessary to use it? (Linux and Windows clients) 3. Question The last question is about future usage of the cluster for VMs running Windows10 (and other microsoft distributions of this generation like Server2012 etc). Is there a way getting the spice video drivers working with this operating systems? The official statement I always read is that there is no official driver at the moment available. thanks a lot and best wishes from Cologne in Germany Marco

Problems With VMWare Import
by Charles Tassell 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

Hi Everyone, This doesn't seem to be a bug in oVirt so much as in the libvirt/virt-v2v tool it uses for importing, but I figured someone here might have run into this issue before. I'm trying to import some VMs from my VMWare cluster and it's failing with a "file not found" when trying to download the disk images. I have files in the datastore like: systest-55-000001-delta.vmdk 4G systest-55-000001.vmdk 1K systest-55-Snapshot1.vmsn 4G systest-55-flat.vmdk 40G systest-55.vmdk 1K ... bunch more small .vm?? files For some reason virt-v2v is trying to download a file called systest-55-000001-flat.vmdk which doesn't exist. I'm assuming this has something to do with the snapshots stored in the folder... Does anyone know a way to deal with that? Can I just delete the snapshots or is that going to delete data stored on the VM since the last snapshot? I'm using virt-v2v 1.28.1 if that makes a difference.
