[Users] alias to user and admin portal
by Andrej Bagon 10 May '13

10 May '13

Hi, what is the best practice to make a hostname alias for user and admin web portal? By default the admin portal is on hostname/webadmin/webadmin/WebAdmin.html and user portal on hostname/UserPortal/org.ovirt.engine.ui.userportal.UserPortal/UserPortal.html what are the best directives (apache) to run the applications on adminportal.hostname and userportal.hostname? Thank you. Best Regards, Andrej

[Users] Migrating engine-setup to otopi
by Alex Lourie 10 May '13

10 May '13

Hi All Recent development of the otopi [1] framework allows us to migrate the engine-setup, upgrade and cleanup (and potentially other) utilities to implementation as an otopi plugin. Potential benefits of such a move are: 1. Be able to port engine to other distributions. 2. Be able to install engine in a development mode. 3. Be able to customize installation easily. 4. Share installation of components (reports, dwh). 5. Modular implementation, reduce maintenance costs. 6. Code reuse of installer code for multiple purposes (host-deploy, enigne-setup). Currently we are in the process of creating a 'setup' plugin for the otopi, and the progress can be monitored at [2]. The current roadmap for the feature is as follows: 1. Recreate the configuration utilities as plugins in otopi. 2. Support side-by side installation using both the old and the new utilities. 3. Switch to the new utility when the confidence that it is on-par with an old one is high. Our goal is to have the new utilities ready for 3.3 release (at least for the step 2 in the roadmap). We'd like to hear as much feedback as possible, so we could address it as soon as possible. Thanks!

[Users] Problem with time zone of a desktop VM
by Gianluca Cecchi 09 May '13

09 May '13

Hello, oVirt 3.2.1 on Fedora 18 all-in-one configuration. I created a Windows XP with wrong time zone (default that is UTC -12 .. why? Don't reply why not, please... ;-) Now if the VM is powered off and I edit it, I can't still change its timezone, because it is greyed out in initial run section. Tried to change inside guest but at next reboot it keeps with same problem. How can I change it after creation? How to change default so that it is not UTC-12 but matches my timezone for every desktop I create? Thanks, Gianluca

[Users] 3.3 scratch or upgraded installation must use Apache proxy (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/905754)
by Sandro Bonazzola 08 May '13

08 May '13

Hi, I'm working on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/905754, trying to have Apache proxy in all 3.3 installations. I'm looking in the code and I've found a point where I'm in doubt about how to handle the case. The current engine-setup implementation perform some checks that change the behavior of the installer documented as: 1. Check whether the relevant httpd configuration files were changed, as it's an indication for the setup that the httpd application is being actively used, Therefore we may need to ask (dynamic change) the user whether to override this configuration. 2. Check if IPA is installed and drop port 80/443 support. What the script really do is setting OVERRIDE_HTTPD_CONFIG default to False in both cases and just for case 2 call also setHttpPortsToNonProxyDefault. About 1, if we can consider Apache "owned" by the engine we can drop any question to the user, else I think we need to ask what to do or abort the setup considering the configuration as unsupported. About 2, it seems that the best solution for that is to abort the setup if IPA is found on the same system where we're installing the engine. As far I've understood having IPA and engine on the same host is not a supported configuration. What do you think about this? -- Sandro Bonazzola Better technology. Faster innovation.
