[Users] Setting up test nodes
by Martin Kletzander 04 Jul '12

04 Jul '12

Hi everyone, TL;DR: how do I setup a software node (faqemu) with apps from source? I'm new to the oVirt world and coming from the lower layer, I must admin I feel kind of confused. I'm trying to create a "lab" with ovirt-engine (up and running), some ovirt-node (with sw qemu) and ovirt-node with all the stack running on git sources (qemu, libvirt, vdsm and ovirt-node). The problem is that I only tried this before with ovirt-node ISO image and I don't know how can I step in there and work with the system underneath. The whole point of this is to help speed up problem-solving in the future for problems related to mostly libvirt. Having this available should help us a lot. My main question is: What is the proper way to setup a node from standard fedora installation (not ISO) and having software-emulated qemu machine there? Thanks in advance for any tips and have a nice day, Martin

[Users] Kick-starting website review
by Dave Neary 03 Jul '12

03 Jul '12

Hi everyone, I sent a proposal for some thing which I think will help improve the project to the board list a few days ago: http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/board/2012-June/000537.html The first step in that plan, which has received only positive feedback so far, is to review the website and wiki to focus it better on the core audience of the oVirt project. Once I got an account in the wiki, I created a stub wiki page to gather suggestions and changes people feel should be made (please add any suggestions you have - we'll prioritise and discuss any contentious ones here). Ironically, this is one of the pages that has no good category to go in yet :-) http://ovirt.org/wiki/Website_organisation The main priorities for me are: * Provide an automated way for someone to create an account on the wiki - contacting someone with an existing user account breaks the intimacy gradient for me - getting an account on the wiki feels like a semi-public thing to do, and contacting a stranger to get an account is private. * Review top level menu and web pages, and propose an alternative organisation. Some things are prominent that don't need to be, other things which should be are not. * Start spring-cleaning the wiki: make a more attractive front page, categorise pages, and generally work on making it more easily navigable * Gap analysis on the documentation we have - what docs do we need which we don't have yet? * Migrate PDF documentation to HTML (either static or wiki) - PDF documentation is not ideal, I think. It would be better, if and when PDF docs are needed, to generate them from the wiki rather than the other way around. * Promotion of the 3.1 release - I'm sure that there are announcements, release notes, etc. in the works already, and I'm happy to help work on thoise if I can. We'll work with the infra team to implement any changes that need: http://ovirt.org/wiki/Infrastructure - specifically changes to Wordpress themes - but other than that, our plan is to work in the wiki and here to come up with a list of priorities and work through them over the Summer months. I'm eager to get people working together on this - you all have lived with the site for longer than me, and can see what needs fixing/writing/changing better than I can. Part of the goal of this initiative for me is to make the development of the website and documentation more collaborative - so if you have pet hates or suggestions, please do contribute, here or in the wiki: http://ovirt.org/wiki/Website_organisation Thanks! Dave. -- Dave Neary Community Action and Impact Open Source and Standards Team, Red Hat Phone: +33 9 50 71 55 62

[Users] Deleting a snapshot of eight disks took more than fifteen minutes
by Shu Ming 03 Jul '12

Is it reasonable? I created snapshot1 and snapshot2 for the eight disks and then tried to delete snapshot2. And it took 15+ minutes to finish the operation. Here is the disk list: my-vm1_Disk1 40 GB 3 GB data Thin Provision VirtIO OK 2012-Jun-27, 13:24:01 my-vm1_Disk2 10 GB 10 GB data Preallocated VirtIO OK 2012-Jun-25, 23:19:00 my-vm1_Disk3 4 GB < 1 GB data Thin Provision VirtIO OK 2012-Jun-26, 23:27:40 my-vm1_Disk4 3 GB 3 GB data Thin Provision VirtIO OK 2012-Jun-27, 13:24:01 my-vm1_Disk5 3 GB 3 GB data Thin Provision VirtIO OK 2012-Jun-27, 13:24:01 my-vm1_Disk6 4 GB 4 GB data Thin Provision VirtIO OK 2012-Jun-27, 13:24:02 my-vm1_Disk7 5 GB 5 GB data Thin Provision VirtIO OK 2012-Jun-27, 13:24:02 my-vm1_Disk8 6 GB 6 GB data Thin Provision VirtIO OK 2012-Jun-27, 13:24:02 -- Shu Ming <shuming(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com> IBM China Systems and Technology Laboratory

[Users] Is it possible to attach an ISCSI export to an NFS based Data Center?
by jose garcia 02 Jul '12

02 Jul '12

Good evening, In 3.0 there was the option to add an ISCSI export to a Data Center using NFS. I could not test the feature, however, as my LUN did not appear in the UI. When I look for this option in the interface of oVirt 3.1 I only find Data/NFS and Export/NFS (I have already an ISO Domain defined, also NFS). Is it this option available in the new version? If so, what are the requirements? Regards, Jose Garcia

[Users] oVirt Workshop at LinuxCon North America
by Leslie Hawthorn 02 Jul '12

02 Jul '12

Hello everyone, Following up from this week's IRC meeting, we've asked the Linux Foundation to replicate the agenda from LinuxCon Japan on the LC North America site. That's in process, but they'd like us to get the names and bios of our confirmed speakers to them no later than next Wednesday, 27 June 2012. I'll leave it to everyone to wrangle about who would like to speak and cover particular sessions. My goal with this workshop is to have a more diverse speaker line up, so please do volunteer if you're attending LinuxCon North America and would be willing to lead a session(s). [0] - https://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/linuxcon-japan/ovirt-gluster-work… Cheers, LH -- Leslie Hawthorn Community Action and Impact Open Source and Standards @ Red Hat identi.ca/lh twitter.com/lhawthorn

[Users] OpenLDAP for authentication
by Matthias Schmitz 02 Jul '12

02 Jul '12

Hi everyone, i just started to use oVirt and i tried to get it work with my OpenLDAP/Kerberos setup. After a lot of searching for the error message i finally stumbled over an e-mail on this list that OpenLDAP is not yet supported [1]. As advised i opened a RFE bug [2] :). Is there any developer documentation how the access to the directory is supposed to work? Maybe one of my humble co-workers with more Java skills then me can contribute something. Best wishes, Matthias [1] http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2012-February/000678.html [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=836839
