how to use idrac interface as a vm network

by Nathanaël Blanchet

Hello, I noticed an idrac interface was available in the host network since an undefined ovirt version. Mine are already plugged as dedicated vlan to administrate host at the lowest level. I tested to use it as a vm network on the same vlan, but it doesn't work. What am I supposed to do with this available interface? PS: on HP hosts, no Ilo interface appears in host network tab -- Nathanaël Blanchet Supervision réseau SIRE 227 avenue Professeur-Jean-Louis-Viala 34193 MONTPELLIER CEDEX 5 Tél. 33 (0)4 67 54 84 55 Fax 33 (0)4 67 54 84 14 blanchet(a)abes.fr

Re: Windows VirtIO drivers

by eevans＠digitaldatatechs.com

That may be true, but in the ISO domain, when you open virt viewer you can change the cd very easily...maybe it works that way as well..

Important notes before you try it Please note this is an Alpha release. The oVirt Project makes no guarantees as to its suitability or usefulness. This pre-release must not to be used in production, and it is not feature complete. In particular, please note that upgrades from 4.3 and future upgrades from this alpha to the final 4.4 release from this version are not supported. Some of the features included in oVirt 4.4.0 Alpha require content that will be available in CentOS Linux 8.2 which are currently included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2 beta. If you want to have a better experience you can test oVirt 4.4.0 Alpha on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2 beta. Known Issues - After installation open the Default cluster and hit “Save”, for any other new Cluster using CPU autodetection the dialog needs to be explicitly saved after the detection happens, after first host is added. (bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1770697) Installation instructions For the engine: either use appliance or: - Install CentOS Linux 8 minimal from http://centos.mirror.garr.it/centos/8.1.1911/isos/x86_64/CentOS-8.1.1911-... - dnf install https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release44-pre.rpm - dnf update (reboot if needed) - dnf module enable -y javapackages-tools pki-deps 389-ds - dnf install ovirt-engine - engine-setup For the nodes: Either use oVirt Node ISO or: - Install CentOS Linux 8 from http://centos.mirror.garr.it/centos/8.1.1911/isos/x86_64/CentOS-8.1.1911-... ; select minimal installation - dnf config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools - dnf install https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release44-pre.rpm - dnf update (reboot if needed) - Attach the host to engine and let it be deployed. What’s new in oVirt 4.4.0 Alpha? - Hypervisors based on CentOS Linux 8 (rebuilt from award winning RHEL8), for both oVirt Node and standalone CentOS Linux hosts - Easier network management and configuration flexibility with NetworkManager - VMs based on a more modern Q35 chipset with legacy seabios and UEFI firmware - Support for direct passthrough of local host disks to VMs - Live migration improvements for High Performance guests. - New Windows Guest tools installer based on WiX framework now moved to VirtioWin project - Dropped support for cluster level prior to 4.2 - Dropped SDK3 support - 4K disks support - Exporting a VM to a data domain - Editing of floating disks - Integrating ansible-runner into engine, which allows a more detailed monitoring of playbooks executed from engine - Adding/reinstalling hosts are now completely based on Ansible - The OpenStack Neutron Agent cannot be configured by oVirt anymore, it should be configured by TripleO instead This release is available now on x86_64 architecture for: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.1 or newer * CentOS Linux (or similar) 8.1 or newer This release supports Hypervisor Hosts on x86_64 and ppc64le architectures for: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.1 or newer (8.2 beta recommended) * CentOS Linux (or similar) 8.1 or newer * oVirt Node 4.4 based on CentOS Linux 8.1 (available for x86_64 only) See the release notes [1] for installation instructions and a list of new features and bugs fixed. If you manage more than one oVirt instance, OKD or RDO we also recommend to try ManageIQ <http://manageiq.org/>. In such a case, please be sure to take the qc2 image and not the ova image. Notes: - oVirt Appliance is already available for CentOS Linux 8 - oVirt Node NG is already available for CentOS Linux 8 Additional Resources: * Read more about the oVirt 4.4.0 release highlights: http://www.ovirt.org/release/4.4.0/ * Get more oVirt project updates on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ovirt * Check out the latest project news on the oVirt blog: http://www.ovirt.org/blog/ [1] http://www.ovirt.org/release/4.4.0/ [2] http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.4-pre/iso/ -- Sandro Bonazzola MANAGER, SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, EMEA R&D RHV Red Hat EMEA <https://www.redhat.com/> sbonazzo(a)redhat.com <https://www.redhat.com/>*Red Hat respects your work life balance.

Migrate Hosted Engine to new Storage

by Anton Louw

Hi Everybody, Does anybody know when we will most likely be able to do a live storage migration of the Hosted Engine? I've been battling with the backup and restore way for a couple of days now already, and it is starting to feel like a fruitless exercise. Thanks Anton Louw Cloud Engineer: Storage and Virtualization ______________________________________ D: 087 805 1572 | M: N/A A: Rutherford Estate, 1 Scott Street, Waverley, Johannesburg anton.louw(a)voxtelecom.co.za www.vox.co.za

does SPM still exist?

by yam yam

Hello, I heard some say SPM disappeared since 3.6. nevertheless, SPM still exists in oVirt admin portal or even in RHV's manual. So, I am wondering whether SPM still exists now. And could I know how to get more detailed information for oVirt internals?? is the code review the best way?
