Hi all My name is Liviu Elama and I'm from New Zealand. My day to day job is Unix/Linux technical consultant for an outsourcing company here in NZ. I have around 10 years of UNIX (Solaris, AIX, RHEL,SLES) , storage, backup, virtualization (VCP) and I'm very interested in ovirt as an alternative for VMware and the integration with glusterfs and foreman/puppet. Good to be here Cheers Liviu

I can build the package and put it to launchpad.net under my PPA. Once it's ready I'll reply this mail again, then you can use apt-get to install it. I think we can also setup an Ubuntu repository on ovirt.org for the users. I'm now working on VDSM packaging, in a near future we will have to find a place to host all the .deb packages. My PPA is just a temporary place, ovirt.org is a better place. >> >>> >>> I would suggest another feature (maybe it is covered by external >>> providers).

[Users] oVirt API Code 500 with Foreman
by Andrew Lau 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

Hi, Foreman guys say this is probably an oVirt side issue.. I was successfully able to hook up my foreman server to the oVirt datacenter using the compute resources section. It detected the available datacenters and logged in fine. Logs showed code 200, I can view the VMs available, power them on and shut them down from the foreman UI. But when I go to hosts->New Host and select oVirt I get the error: Error loading virtual machine information: Internal Server Error Logs are showing: Operation FAILED: statementcallback; bad sql grammar select * from (select * from vds groups view where ( vds group id in (select vds groups storage domain.vds group id from vds groups storage domain left outer join storage pool with storage domain on vds groups storage domain.storage pool id=storage pool with storage domain.id where ( storage pool with storage domain.name like '%dc_01%' or storage pool with storage domain.description like '%dc_01%' or storage pool with storage domain.comment like '%dc_01%' ) )) order by name asc ) as t1 offset (1 -1) limit 100; nested exception is org.postgresql.util.psqlexception: error: column storage pool with storage domain.comment does not exist position: 421 Rendered common/500.html.erb (5.2ms) Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 150ms (Views: 6.0ms | ActiveRecord: 0.3ms) CentOS 6.4 - Foreman 1.2 CentOS 6.4 - oVirt 3.3 Nightly Any suggestions?

[Users] oVirt 3.3 ovirt-websocket-proxy
by Jakub Bittner 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

Hello, if I install websocket proxy and configure it for spice-html5 usage by ovirt-setup it does not add iptables rules about opening port 6100 to /etc/sysconfig/iptables even if I set oVirt to manage iptables. I use centos 6.4 and oVirt 3.3RC Thank you.
