Thanks a lot Itamar. Everything became clear. Unfortunately, We are still using ovirt 3.0, for which I think ovirt-shell is not available. So, I will make a small java program.

I don't see any particular reason for blocking this in general, since we create our domain structure under /ISO/<sdUUID>/.. so it doesn't really matter. please open a bug for it.

- Ovirt management server should be able to run as a virtual machine managed by ovirt - Clustered management server, active/passive, or even better active/active - Support for additional iternal users, so monitoring and automation don't need to rely on an external source for authentication - guest agent should have the ability to configure portions of the virtual machine -- set the hostname of the virtual machine -- configure the network information for the virtual machine -- reset root password > Hi Everyone, > > as we wrap oVirt 3.2, I wanted to check with oVirt users on what they > find good/useful in oVirt, and what they would like to see > improved/added in coming versions? > > Thanks, > Itamar

When I did that, I failed to set the permissions and ownership for the changed mailbox file. It remained owned by root, so Mailman was unable to write to the archives. :( :( I think we can fix this if anyone has a copy of all the email sent to this list since 21 Dec. in an .mbox format.
