[Users] ovirt-node test
by Cristian Falcas 06 Dec '11

06 Dec '11

Hi, I was thinking that maybe it may be helpfull to add at the end of http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Node_Building a way to test the newly created iso. For me, it worked with this (presumably you have an interface with ip 10.10.10.10 on the host): qemu-kvm -m 512 -cdrom ovirt-node-image.iso -net nic,model=virtio -net user,net=10.10.10.20/24,host=10.10.10.10,dhcpstart=10.10.10.20 In this setup it looks like the connection is only from the guest to the host. Of course, you need to set a root password (as explained from my knowledge only on this list) and after logging in to do dhclient eth0. There is any way to specify a way to get the ip from dhcp at boot time? Best regards, Cristi

[Users] problems creating ovirt-node

Hi, I tried today to create a new iso, but each time it fails with this error: Error creating Live CD : Failed to find package 'vdsm-cli' : No package(s) available to install The thing that is bothering me is that it worked ok yesterday. All the steps I perform are those, as an ordinary user (it fails at make ovirt-node-image.iso ): BASEDIR=$(rpm --eval %_topdir) sudo rm -rf ./ovirt-node sudo rm -rf $BASEDIR git clone http://gerrit.ovirt.org/p/ovirt-node.git cd ovirt-node mkdir -p $BASEDIR/{BUILD,BUILDROOT,RPMS,RPMS/x86_64,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS} OVIRT_CACHE_DIR=~/ovirt-cache #OVIRT_CACHE_DIR=`pwd`/ovirt-cache mkdir $OVIRT_CACHE_DIR OVIRT_LOCAL_REPO=file://${BASEDIR}/RPMS cd $BASEDIR/RPMS/x86_64 wget http://fsimonce.fedorapeople.org/vdsm/fedora-16/x86_64/vdsm-4.9.0-0.200.g2f… wget http://fsimonce.fedorapeople.org/vdsm/fedora-16/x86_64/vdsm-bootstrap-4.9.0… wget http://fsimonce.fedorapeople.org/vdsm/fedora-16/x86_64/vdsm-cli-4.9.0-0.200… wget http://fsimonce.fedorapeople.org/vdsm/fedora-16/x86_64/vdsm-debug-plugin-4.… wget http://fsimonce.fedorapeople.org/vdsm/fedora-16/x86_64/vdsm-debuginfo-4.9.0… wget http://fsimonce.fedorapeople.org/vdsm/fedora-16/x86_64/vdsm-hook-faqemu-4.9… wget http://fsimonce.fedorapeople.org/vdsm/fedora-16/x86_64/vdsm-hook-vhostmd-4.… wget http://fsimonce.fedorapeople.org/vdsm/fedora-16/x86_64/vdsm-reg-4.9.0-0.200… createrepo ../ cd - ./autogen.sh --with-image-minimizer make rm *tar.gz make dist EXTRA_RELEASE=.$USER$(date +%s) rpmbuild --nodeps --define "extra_release $EXTRA_RELEASE" -ta --clean *.tar.gz cd recipe make ovirt-node-image.iso Am I doing something wrong?

[Users] POM files missing
by Thomas Broda 05 Dec '11

05 Dec '11

Hi, I'm trying to build the ovirt engine from source as described in the wiki (http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Building_Ovirt_Engine) Now I'm stuck at point 6.4 (= Deploy) after executing "mvn2 clean install -Pdep,setup". Obviously, sevaral POM files cannot be downloaded, and I get a lot of messages like these two: Downloading: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/ovirt/engine/ui/rmw-war/3.0.0-0001/rmw-wa… [INFO] Unable to find resource 'org.ovirt.engine.ui:rmw-war:pom:3.0.0-0001' in repository maven.repo1 (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2) Downloading: http://mvnsearch.org/maven2/org/ovirt/engine/ui/rmw-war/3.0.0-0001/rmw-war-… [INFO] Unable to find resource 'org.ovirt.engine.ui:rmw-war:pom:3.0.0-0001' in repository maven.search.repo (http://mvnsearch.org/maven2) In fact, the POM files are not there: $ curl -I http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/ovirt/engine/ui/rmw-war/3.0.0-0001/rmw-wa… HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found In the end, I get a message telling me that 13 artefacts are missing. Are these missing files available somewhere? -- Thomas

[Users] How to connect VNC console ?
by Phattanon Duangdara 03 Dec '11

03 Dec '11

I just finished setup oVirt on FC16 (same host run vdsmd) I can start VM but cannot connect console using VNC. No information for connecting VNC available. Although I can figure out which port VNC running, I don't know password and it cannot be set or view from webadmin or userportal console.

[Users] Storage configuration
by Cristian Falcas 29 Nov '11

29 Nov '11

Hello list, Again I'm having truble with simple things. I don't know how to properly setup the Storage. Mainly I don't know how to define a location for the iso files to be used at installation time. Also, I want to ask if ovirt has the concept of virtual machine images: already installed OSs that can be fired up and used by any node without installation. I think only the MAC address should be updated for that. Best regards, Cristian Falcas

[Users] First Nightly build of ovirt-engine & VDSM + Installation Guides
by Ronen Angluster 23 Nov '11

23 Nov '11

Hello, We've published 2 guides that describe how to install & configure ovirt-engine & VDSM from a nightly build placed on ovirt.org's repository. http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Installing_ovirt_from_rpm http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Installing_VDSM_from_rpm Please note the following: 1. At the time, nightly builds are not going to be carried out "nightly", we will publish new versions from time to time until we'll establish a mature and working release process 2. The installation process contains interim steps and will change as we mature the ovirt-engine product's deployment and may change significantly between revisions. Regards, Ronen Angluster

Hi, as promised, wiki article is somewhat modified :) http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/OVirt I hope it answers all the questions you asked and I hope even more that you will be adding more problems and solutions to it. Next thing for me will be creating ebuild file binary JBoss, stay tuned... :)

I'm fully aware of network complexity, and the impact of supporting several distro's. This is exactly why I asked for a /generic/ approach, which will not pull in numerous packages which are distro or desktop-env specific. Having said that, I can tell you that last night I did some more investigations in Gentoo, and I was pleasantly surprised to see the following: emerge -DuNavt --with-bdeps=y --keep-going net-misc/networkmanager These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] net-misc/networkmanager-0.8.4.0-r2 USE="bluetooth ppp -avahi -connection-sharing -dhclient -dhcpcd -doc -gnutls -nss -resolvconf" 1,634 kB [ebuild N ] net-misc/modemmanager-0.4 USE="policykit -doc -test" 435 kB Total: 2 packages (2 new), Size of downloads: 2,069 kB This means that network manager no longer pulls gnome-related packages, which is very good news. If this is the case in other distro's I think we can converge on this solution. I guess we only need some input from Suse / Ubuntu people to see if it works for them as well. -- /d "This message will self destruct in the future. Or not."

[Users] ovirt-node on Gentoo
by Dimitrije Zivkovic 21 Nov '11

21 Nov '11

Hi, after few hours of playing around with ovirt-node and following http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Ovirt_Quickstart guide, I've managed to get all the way to installing vdsm on gentoo server. At this point, it is not even the issue of creating the ebuild file for vdsm, the blocker for me was the following: - after compiling vdsm and installing it, order of files and install locations are clearly following redhat system - when starting vdsm by startup script (which is in /etc/rc.d/init.d, which, in turn, does not exists in Gentoo), from errors thrown at me I see that it is redhat startup script So, I will look through the code, when time allows, but if someone could help out by some info or advice, it would be appreciated... So far, I would start by porting /etc/init.d/functions from fedora and then continue to solve the problem with conf files being on different locations. Any thoughts on this? Is this the wa to go, in the first place? Dimitrije
