[Documentation] Assistance Needed with User-Facing Documentation
by Brian Proffitt 10 Jul '14

10 Jul '14

All: The Red Hat ECS team has made a great effort to convert some of the more important downstream documentation to a MediaWiki format that we can post on oVirt.org as an official set of user- and admin-facing documentation. This is being done as a bootstrapping effort to get our upstream documentation up to date and take a big step towards making the upstream documentation the canonical source for documentation in the near future. Before that can happen, we need to get this RHEV-oriented information ported over to oVirt nomenclature and screenshots taken for oVirt and added to the documents as well. I have placed the three guides * Administration Guide[1] * User's Guide[2] * Installation Guide[3] on the oVirt site as unlinked pages. General wording has been changed from RHEV to oVirt, but not always. Each of these documents must be reviewed and completely adapted to oVirt 3.4 before they can be posted as official documentation. Specifically: * Review all text to ensure proper steps and descriptions for oVirt features and procedures * Review all text to remove downstream-specific text * Review all code for changes in package names on on-screen displays * Replace all downstream RHEV screenshots with upstream oVirt 3.4 screenshots (Max width: 1024px) I will be stepping through these documents to edit them in more detail under these guidelines, but help is most assuredly needed, in order to get this done in a timely manner. oVirt.org wiki users can visit these pages, review them, and add their changes. MediaWiki has limited version control, so it would be best to edit sections instead of entire documents, to minimize stepping on others' changes. Editing by section will also help us track the sections that have been edited, using the pages' histories. Thank you in advance for all of your help on this project... when finished, this will represent a significant improvement to oVirt's documentation, and make oVirt that much easier to use.

Re: [ovirt-users] ovirt-shell
by Sven Kieske 10 Jul '14

10 Jul '14

Well there is no guide on the web which I'm aware of. But to my experience, scripting the shell has it's limitations you might want to try the python sdk, which is more useful or if you need some webapp anyway use the rest api. you could also script the rest api using e.g. curl but I wouldn't recommend that. there is documentation on this here: https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtu… https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtu… you can basically substitute rhev with ovirt. there still seems to be no updated dev guides for 3.4 though. I have automated everything via REST, as I have php devs who did the work ;) There are still some things you can't do via rest, like creating network qos entities (attaching them to a vm works but you need to create them manually). But in the future everything will use rest, so I guess this is the best way to go.

Thin Provision Not Work
by Paul.LKW 10 Jul '14

10 Jul '14

Hi All: I find an issue in Thin Provision with oVirt, when I create a virtual disk I click the option Thin Provision (assign disk space 30G and actually it use 1G only), so I should see in the storage this disk for nearly 1G image file too. However it shows 30G image file. Any hints could fix this for using Thin Provision? BR, Paul.LKW

ovirt-shell

Hi All, Trying to add a nic to a vm with a specific mac address. [oVirt shell (connected)]# add nic --vm-identifier ov31 --network-name backend --name eth4 --mac-address HH:HH:EE:HH:HH:01 ======== ERROR ============================= status: 400 reason: Bad Request detail: MAC address must be in format "HH:HH:HH:HH:HH:HH" where H is a hexadecimal character (either a digit or A-F, case is insignificant). ============================================= Also interesting is when I change the beginning of the mac address to 00 instead of HH, I get : [oVirt shell (connected)]# add nic --vm-identifier ov31 --network-name backend --name eth4 --mac-address 01:HH:EE:HH:HH:01 ============================================ ERROR ========================================== wrong number of arguments, try 'help add' for help. ============================================================================================= I have tried some things like enclosing in single and double quotes but no success. I have also tried to read the help sections on the shell interface but I also could not figure it out. Thanks in advance,

Disk's locked of VM
by Andy Michielsen 10 Jul '14

10 Jul '14

Hello all, Does anyone know how I can check if a VM's disk are indeed locked or not. The engine tell's me they are locked but this is now already 16 day's and counting. I already restarted every server involved but to no avail. I can not remove, change or start the VM as long as the disks are locked. Can I give a command to check the status of this machine in the CLI enviroment or after connecting to the database and checking a table (Realy don't know how to do this). Kind regards.

Docker containers for ovirt-engine
by Daniel Erez 10 Jul '14

10 Jul '14

Hi, I've created a couple of Docker images with a running ovirt-engine service and uploaded to the Docker registry [1]. Quite useful for quickly having a ready-to-use environment (tests, demos, etc) or to be used as a base image for building new Docker Images. Note that currently the container is not persistent by its nature, hence for saving changes, take use of the 'commit' functionality [2].
