Jonathan, I'm bringing here the entire previous post on the matter: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- >> We just added support for this to upstream virt-v2v, although it >> requires a very recent qemu to work. F17 isn't new enough. I haven't >> tested F18 qemu yet, but hopefully it'll be good there. >> > > Thanks Matt, > can you share any details on the differences from ovf in behavior? > (and i was wondering why a newer kvm is needed?) We can only output to oVirt's OVF, and we can only import from VMware's OVA. The command line looks something like: # virt-v2v -i ova --profile ovirt foo.ova It needs a new qemu for the latest vmdk driver in order to do the on-disk format conversion. The vmdk driver has been around for a while, but it's only just become usable. This has long been the barrier to implementing this feature. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you indeed meet the requirements mentioned above?

[Users] Maintenance outage :: www.ovirt.org :: 2012-12-11 01:00 UTC
by Karsten (quaid) Wade 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 There is going to be a brief planned outage at 5 pm PST (0100 UTC) today. The outage window is ten minutes. No downtime is expected during the outage, but it may occur. == Details == I want to setup hot_deploy for our OpenShift instance running MediaWiki. When I did this the other day, it failed to work properly. Refer to: http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/infra/2012-December/001612.html This outage is another attempt to set the app to hot deploy. I intend to do exactly this: * 'touch wiki/.openshift/markers/hot_deploy' * 'git add wiki/.openshift/markers/hot_deploy' * 'git commit wiki/.openshift/markers/hot_deploy' * 'git push' If all works correctly, the app will be set to hot deploy without doing a restart. If it goes like last time, I may attempt to troubleshoot for a few minutes but no longer than 10 minutes. At that time I will force restart the app. == Affected services == www.ovirt.org (wiki) === Not-affected services == lists.ovirt.org resources.ovirt.org gerrit.ovirt.org jenkins.ovirt.org == Future plans == Hopefully this hot deploy trick will allow us to make minor configuration changes to the website without it having to restart the app. - -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade ..... http://iquaid.org ..... gpg key: AD0E0C41 http://Fairy-TaleFarm.com ..........................

[Users] template source always "Blank"
by Jim Kinney 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

Greetings, I've built several new templates from the blank template and a ISO install of various OS's. However, when I built a new VM using the new template(s), the new VM still says it's based from the blank template. I expected it to say it was from the "template-foo" U specified. The VM is correctly built from the template so I think it's a generation/database issue. -- -- James P. Kinney III * *Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail.

[Users] Auto-start vms on boot?
by Adrian Gibanel 09 Dec '12

09 Dec '12

It would seem that oVirt does not provide an standard way of forcing boot of virtual machines at boot. Pools can have pre-started vms as stated here: https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualiz… but pools imply state-less virtual machines and I am talking more about normal virtual machines. I've found this script: https://github.com/iranzo/rhevm-utils/blob/master/rhev-vm-start.py which could do to the trick if run at host boot. I've also thought (but not tried) to mark a virtual machine as "Highly Available" even if I have only one host (I mean, usually HA only makes sense when you have two hosts). Marking a VM as H.A. would do the trick? Any special reason why there isn't and standard way of marking which vms should be auto-started at boot? Just wanted to hear your thoughts before filling an RFE. Thank you. -- -- Adrián Gibanel I.T.

[Users] What is the new home for /Wp-content/uploads missing after website migration?
by Peter Styk 07 Dec '12

07 Dec '12

To whom it may concern: Great work on website but please return back the PDF's from the old site upload directory. Someone took the time to make those. Let's keep them visible. Just couple of examples are: http://www.ovirt.org/Wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Quantum_Ovirt_discussion.pdf http://www.ovirt.org/Wp-content/uploads/2011/11/ovirt-vdsm.pdf Hat-Droids on the IRC mentioned this might be due to "Wp-content" being capitalized but either way its not wordpress anymore so what is the new home for these docs? Perhaps consider permanent 301's as I'm sure these are linked to many, many blogs, posts and other sites. roger-roger, Peter Styk
