Itamar/oVirt team, Just wanted to let you know the latest nightly build and latest RHEV/RHEL spice client/plugin has completely resolved mouse interaction issues with the following tested guests: Red Hat 7.3 Red Hat 9 Fedora core 1 - 14 Fedora core 15 Fedora core 16 Red Hat Enterprise 3.x Red Hat Enterprise 4.x Red Hat Enterprise 5.x Red Hat Enterpise 6.x SLES 10 SLES 11 SLES 11 SP1 OpenSUSE 11.1 OpenSUSE 11.2 OpenSUSE 11.3 OpenSUSE 11.4 Windows 2000 SP4 Windows XP Windows Vista Windows Server 2003 Windows Server 2003 R2 Windows Server 2008 Windows Server 2008 R2 Solaris 10 Update9 Solaris 11 Express Solaris 11 I ran through the usual above suspect list of guests and am happy to report all is now well. A side note provided the appropriate NIC model is used with the respective guest type networking works fine in all of the above. Most importantly mouse interactivity works OOB now. Hats off to you guys awesome work! A related question. It seems at the moment spice browser support is limited atm. Under windows only Internet Explorer can be used. Under linux only Firefox with the spice-xpi plugin can be used. When/or if can we expect to see spice interaction with ovirt/rhev guests supported under: Firefox + Windows Google Chrome + Windows Google Chrome + Linux These below are probably a real stretch but just for fun any thoughts on them? Mac OSX ? Solaris ? iPhone/iPad ? Android devices ? - Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Itamar Heim [mailto:iheim@redhat.com] > Sent: Wednesday, February 15, 2012 4:02 PM > To: Brown, Chris (GE Healthcare) > Subject: Re: [Users] ovirt VM custom properties > > On 02/15/2012 11:00 PM, Brown, Chris (GE Healthcare) wrote: >> I don't have an official env out yet for our developers to play with >> quite yet. >> What I can say is that they like what I have shown them and what this >> enables for them (This is huge for them). >> >> However I wanted to make sure I shook everything down first before >> tossing them even a sandbox env to play in. >> Thus if in the next few weeks there will be some changes to address > the >> issue I can buy some time here. >> I would rather have the root of the issue resolved or fixed >> officially upstream rather than maintaining something. >> I am assuming I should watch here: http://gerrit.ovirt.org for >> changes in that regard?

Re: [Users] Node ISO problem in 2.2.3 stateless boot
by Li, David 22 Feb '12

22 Feb '12

Hi, Me too here having problem with 2.2.3. I tried with both sel- built iso and official iso in stateless boot. This used to work in 2.2.2 with stateless patches. In the official iso the problem is similar to Michel van Horseen has seen: in my case Dracut couldn't find root device: liveiso:/..... but this is strange as I have put in kernel option root=live:/.... and it should have taken that instead of self invented "liveiso:/". This used to work for me with 2.2.2. something broken here. In my own build, the boot dropped into an emergency shell complaining about missing /usr/libexec/ovirt-auto-install file. I know I chatted with Mike Burns for a while yesterday regarding this. This is a new build off tag ovirt-node-2.2.3 but the problem seems persisting. - David >Date: Wed, 22 Feb 2012 11:37:08 -0500 >From: Joey Boggs <jboggs(a)redhat.com> >To: Michel van Horssen <mvanhorssen(a)vluchtelingenwerk.nl> >Cc: users(a)ovirt.org >Subject: Re: [Users] Node ISO problem >Message-ID: <4F4519B4.9020803(a)redhat.com> >Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed > >On 02/22/2012 11:30 AM, Michel van Horssen wrote: >> Hi, >> >> Took me some time before I had time to install the new Ovirt.

Re: [Users] Node ISO problem
by Jorick Astrego 22 Feb '12

Hi Michel, We have the same problem and error messages with the SuperMicro IPMI virtual CD. I hooked up a external cd-drive with the same iso and everything works fine. After installation we have yet another IPMI related problem though. I was unable to configure the node through IPMI java remote console; when trying to fill in a field or select a value the screen output messes up so you cannot see what you're trying to configure. I had to attach a screen and keyboard to the machine to install the node :-( -- Kind regards, Jorick Astrego Technisch Directeur Netbulae B.V.

Dear all, We have some problems with the Power Management setup in ovirt. I'm unable to get the Power Management functionality working with our Supermicro MBD-X8DTT-HEF+ IPMI. Are there any special options to configure? I choose as type "ipmilan" Everything works fine manually with: ipmitool -H *.*.*.226 -U ADMIN sel -- Kind Regards, Jorick Astrego Netbulae B.V.

Hi, Asking this on both the ovirt and vdsm mailing lists. What is the right way to get a debug output or dump of the XML-RPC that is being sent between ovirt and vdsm, either from the ovirt side and/or from the vdsm side ? Is there any way of dumping the xml-rpc being sent between ovirt-vdsm Any pointers appreciated. thanx, deepak

[Users] Import VM from NFS
by patrick 20 Feb '12

Hello, How can I import a VM from a NFS Storage? I have reinstalled ovirt Manager and am unable to import the VM I created before. The filestructure from my previous installation is still on my NFS Storage. I wonder what's the best way to get them into ovirt again after reinstalling. Thanks in advance Patrick
