The folks at Bitergia have been working on improving the community metrics dashboard located at ovirt.org/stats. I was just notified that, per our request, metrics for a big asset in our community--the #ovirt IRC--have been added to the dashboard. Swing by the page and see who's active on IRC and in the rest of the oVirt community!

Re: [ovirt-users] Server 2012 R2 no drive found (Solved)
by Neil 29 May '14

29 May '14

Good morning guys, I've got good news, I re-downloaded the Windows 2012R2 ISO last night because a technician informed me that the original ISO was smaller than the size mentioned on the Windows download link. After re-downloading it and uploading it again, everything is now working perfectly and I can install using virtio or IDE. My apologies for this being such a silly issue. Thank you very much for your all of your assistance. It is greatly appreciated as usual. Kind regards. Neil Wilson.

Selecting which host to run a VM on using ovirt-shell
by Joop 28 May '14

28 May '14

Hi List, As per the subject, I have a desire to start a lot of VMs after a maintenance shutdown of our infrastructure and I would like to either evenly spread the load among the hosts or to restart the VMs on the host they were on before shutdown. Getting the list using ovirt-shell and transforming that to a 'action vm ABC start' is no problem but I can't find if its possible to specify the host to run the VM on. Is this possible using ovirt-shell and can someone point me to some docs? (Have read (all) the rhevm docs but either overlooked or its not there) Regards, Joop
