Re: [Users] Trouble making ovirt-node image

Sorry if this message will appear twice, but I received an email that the message I sent was too long, so: I've tried to make today ~6 installations (all with qemu-kvm on cow images). The installation finished successfully on 2 of them. The only thing different on those 2 successes was that the password for the admin user was not flagged as "weak". Maybe I was just lucky.

[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 02 Dec '11

02 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

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."
