[Users] libgovirt 0.2.0

--hoZxPH4CaxYzWscb Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Hey, I've just made a new release of libgovirt. libgovirt is a GObject C library to access oVirt/RHEV[1] REST API[2]. At the moment, it's able to get the list of VMs available on an oVirt instance, and to get the connection details for a given VM. This release mainly consists of internal refactoring to make it easier to support new parts of oVirt REST API, and to get it to work with older glib versions. However, it also has minor API breaks, and changes the library soname because of ABI breakage. It can be downloaded from http://people.freedesktop.org/~teuf/govirt/libgovirt-0.2.0.tar.xz It's signed with my GPG key: A525 E3EA 186A AB45 DD0F 86AF 24A4 69FB 7A56 F78E Changes since 0.1.0 - Rename OvirtVm::uuid to OvirtVm::guid to match oVirt terminology - Break ABI :( - Switch back to using GSimpleAsyncResult (from GTask) to gain compatibility with older glib versions - Refactor internals to make it much easier to add support for more REST collections - Parse more VM states from the OvirtVm resource Christophe [1] http://www.ovirt.org/Home [2] https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation//en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virt… --hoZxPH4CaxYzWscb Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.13 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlHal+cACgkQJKRp+3pW9462dgCcDtQXNqPSLW9JA6LX6Zy4GCUb bNUAnA5OStLSLs1bZxRaQl+kYo32S21Y =fbuI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --hoZxPH4CaxYzWscb--

Nor is support for mdraid devices, to be honest. It's something worth considering (whether btrfs redundancy or mdraid), but it's not currently implemented to my knowledge. I could be wrong about that. I also have a question about the storage backend.

This is definitely a workable use case, especially for small environments.

[Users] Network setup with bonded vlan tagged interfaces only

--Boundary_(ID_BXXGSt4FBfZW7Pnv2D/KdA) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Hi I am very new to oVirt and stumple accross some issues. Maybe I am doing something wrong. I have only one server right now which should be the engine + the host. The host network has been setup like the following: bond0 (Prod network bonding) bond0.110 (Prod VLAN) with ip 10.0.10.30 (I connect to the server with that address) bond1 (Storage bonding) bond1.130 (Storage VLAN) with ip 10.0.30.30 (used for iscsi communication) I have other vlans which I should use: VLAN 100 - reserved vor oVirt Management VLAN 120 - DMZ VLAN 140 - LAB Do I need to create bond0.xxx files for each of them? Or do I create the networks inside ovirt gui and vlan tag them? How should I configure ovirtmgmt interface? It has to go through bond0 and with vlan 100. I would very appreciate if one could explain me what the proper setup would look like for such a setup.

Hello, I am trying to install ovirt using the Live CD Image located at http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/3.2/tools/ovirt-live-1.0.iso but the install to HDD menu is prompting for root password? Could someone please point me to the root password for the installation of oVirt using install to HDD menu? Best Regards, Moto

[Users] Ceph RBD
by Alex T 03 Jul '13

03 Jul '13

Just wondering if there is any possibility of adding support for Ceph's RBD, I understand there are means of simply mounting an RBD with glusterfs, but for performance and simplicity adding support for creating and adding RBD's to VM's would be nice... from my experience on ubuntu 12.04 Qemu 1.4.2 is a strong recommendation. I just don't want to switch to opennebula (although probably the easiest transition from ovirt) or proxmox, kind of getting hooked on the ovirt, but it's lack of support for ceph maybe for it's direct competition with gluster is imposing on its adoption... Just some other thoughts for the developer's who seem to be few and far between (or at least according to bugzilla), providing support for debian/arch/gentoo (although they already have a little community going), I think would get alot more involvement.. Also getting the website fixed up should be asap, I mean, it is very hard to navigate, broken links, dead pages, there are tons of pages that are outdated, some that are up to date but are very difficult to navigate too... I mean you can really just copy and paste the RHEV admin manual and call it the ovirt manual, and get alot more interest, if you try and go to the ovirt admin manual now its just a dead page.... There are from what I remember 1800+ bugs and it seems that only a few developer's are actively working on them, I think that creating some better video's, with better audio showing just how simple it is to create a storage domain, create gluster volumes, iscsi domains etc.. would greatly enhance support, because lets face it, ovirt makes managing your infrastructure easy and intuitive... the more user's the bigger the community the faster the development, please port all the documentation possible from RH to Ovirt and fix up all the broken and dead links on the website so people don't think that Ovirt is a dead project, advertise all the supporter's intel, ibm, netapp whoever... if you get support in for Ceph, you beat out Citrix Vmware, Microsoft, Oracle all in one punch, everyone is looking at Ceph, ovirt is the replacement for microsofts virtual machine manager which requires a ton of things to get functional and the fact that hyper-v is a piece of crap, citrix xenserver at this level would cost around $5K per server with xendesktop and their cloud portal or whatever it's called would be over 10-20K+, VMware would be around 40-50K depending how many server's but just the storage domain option I believe is 35K, oracle I think is a little cheaper at about 3.5K per server, but not so many features... I mean ovirt has so much to offer, just need to get the word out there! I also think getting openvswitch implemented would also be a great addition to both security and functionality. Anyways, great job so far guy's, thank you very much for this software,
