[Users] Importing Glance images as oVirt templates
by Oved Ourfalli 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

Hi all! In oVirt 3.4 we extended the integration with Glance, allowing to import Glance images as oVirt templates. We also added a public Glance repository to be used by oVirt deployments. A reference to this repository is automatically added in 3.4, so you'll see it in the UI by default, under the name "ovirt-image-repository". This repository currently contains only a small set of images, but we hope to extend it soon. The right way to use the Fedora and CentOS images that are there is to import them as templates, create VMs from them, and use cloud-init to configure them. I wrote a blog post on how to use it. Have a look at http://ovedou.blogspot.co.il/2014/03/importing-glance-images-as-ovirt.html Will be happy to hear your comments and answer your questions, Oved

[Users] SPICE causes migration failure?
by Ted Miller 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

I just got my Data Center running again, and am proceeding with some setup & testing. I created a VM (not doing anything useful) I clicked on the "Console" and had a SPICE console up (viewed in Win7). I had it printing the time on the screen once per second (while date;do sleep 1; done). I tried to migrate the VM to another host and got in the GUI: Migration started (VM: web1, Source: s1, Destination: s3, User: admin@internal). Migration failed due to Error: Fatal error during migration (VM: web1, Source: s1, Destination: s3). As I started the migration I happened to think "I wonder how they handle the SPICE console, since I think that is a link from the host to my machine, letting me see the VM's screen." After the failure, I tried shutting down the SPICE console, and found that the migration succeeded. I again opened SPICE and had a migration fail. Closed SPICE, migration failed. I can understand how migrating SPICE is a problem, but, at least could we give the victim of this condition a meaningful error message? I have seen a lot of questions about failed migrations (mostly due to attached CDs), but I have never seen this discussed. If I had not had that particular thought cross my brain at that particular time, I doubt that SPICE would have been where I went looking for a solution. If this is the first time this issue has been raised, I am willing to file a bug. Ted Miller Elkhart, IN, USA

Re: [Users] oVirt 3.5 planning
by Juan Pablo Lorier 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

Hi, I'm kind of out of date at this time, but I'd like to propose something that was meant for 3.4 and I don't know it it made into it; use any nfs share as either a iso or export so you can just copy into the share and then update in some way the db. Also, make export domain able to be shared among dcs as is iso domain, that is an rfe from long time ago and a useful one. Attaching and dettaching domains is both time consuming and boring. Also using tagged and untagged networks on top of the same nic. Everybody does that except for ovirt. I also like to say that tough I have a huge enthusiasm for ovirt's fast evolution, I think that you may need to slow down with adding new features until most of the rfes that have over a year are done, because other way it's kind of disappointing opening a rfe just to see it sleeping too much time. Don't take this wrong, I've been listened and helped by the team everytime I needed and I'm thankful for that. Regards,

[Users] Recommended way to disconnect and remove iSCSI direct LUNs
by Boyan Tabakov 04 Mar '14

04 Mar '14

This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 4880 and 3156) --VQiJjAHh4OqnW9GHojIg6s1LSghwPBraw Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello, I have ovirt 3.3.2 running with FC19 nodes. I have several virtual machines that use directly attached iSCSI LUNs. Discovering, attaching and using new LUNs works without issues (vdsm needed some patching to work with Dell Equallogic, as described here https://sites.google.com/a/keele.ac.uk/partlycloudy/ovirt, but that's a separate issue). Also live migration works well between hosts and the LUNs get properly attached to the migration target host. However, I don't see any way to disconnect/remove LUNs that are no longer needed (e.g. VM is removed). What is the recommended way to remove old LUNs, so that the underlying iSCSI sessions are disconnected? Especially if a VM has been migrated between hosts, it leaves the LUNs connected on multiple nodes. Thank you in advance!

Now we've nightly builds also for stable branches so you can test them whenever you want to. If you're going to test it, please add yourself as tester on [3] Note to maintainers: * For Release candidate builds, we'll send to all maintainers a reminder the week before the build on Thursday morning (UTC timezone). Packages that won't be ready before the announced compose time won't be added to the release candidate. Please remember to build your packages the day before repository composition if you want it in. * Release notes must be filled [1] * A tracker bug has been created [2] and shows 1 bug blocking the release: Whiteboard Bug ID Summary virt 1071997 VM is not locked on run once * Please add bugs to the tracker if you think that 3.3.5 should not be released without them fixed.
