[Users] Managing ovirt-node with Puppet - Bad idea?
by Trey Dockendorf 19 Jun '12

19 Jun '12

Currently I've been running all my KVM systems as standard libvirt managed hypervisors with virt-manager for creating VMs. All the setup of these systems was done via Puppet, including bridges and pool definitions. Now that I've setup my first ovirt-node I'm wondering if Puppet is appropriate on the ovirt-node. The first thing that concerned me was libvirtd was not set to start on boot after installing in the ovirt web interface, is this because the vdsmd daemon starts/stops libvirtd? Also is is it safe to manage things like vdsm.conf via Puppet or will ovirt-engine ever touch that file outside of the bootstrap process? Right now all my nodes will be bare CentOS 6.2 systems with a basic KVM / libvirt hypervisor and then vdsm. What I'm curious of is if anyone has suggestions or insight into whether or not something like Puppet should be managing ovirt-nodes. Ideally I'd like to use a bare hypervisor like RHEV-H or the oVirt-node ISO but all I have access to is the later and I'm very weary of having anywhere Fedora in my data center aside from my desktop. So far Puppet has proven useful in the process of setting up the ovirt-node prior to adding it to oVirt interface, but I'm worried something I'm enforcing will be changed by ovirt and then changed back by Puppet and break my setup. Thanks - Trey

[Users] How to configure sharedFS ?
by Deepak C Shetty 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

Hi, From vdsm code i can see support for storage domain of type SHARED_FS But when trying to configure a new storage domain, i don't see SHARED_FS as a available domtype filed in the dropdown. I want to use shared FS to connect to try and connect to gluster mount point on my node, but unable to as I don't see that option. From http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Features/PosixFSConnection - I understand that its the same as sharedFS, so what is PosixFSConnection then, is it just a new interface that provides a wrapper for what is sharedFS now ? The status of this says Done, but I don't see the UI part of this, am I missing something. Also pls let me know if usign sharedFS to make the node use gluster mount is correct or not ? thanx, deepak
