How to change the master storage domain to another specific domain
by Ladislav Humenik 22 Nov '18

22 Nov '18

Hello, is there any plan to add the possibility (or working way) to change the storage master domain to a specific, let's say by admin chosen storage domain, without shutting down all guests and moving all other domains in to maintenance as described in this old solution: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/34923 Any API call or whatever will be welcome. -- Ladislav Humenik

OVF update failure? Export domain.
by Jacob Green 21 Nov '18

21 Nov '18

So, I found this bug report Bug 1554116 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1554116#c1>, and it looks like it was squashed(fixed) in ovirt 4.2.2. I am running 4.2.6 and yesterday when I was placing our export domain in maintenance and detaching, I saw this message about ignoring OVF update failure. I was able to Detach and Reattach the export Domain without any problems. But I wanted to know if this is normal or not? I did not check the box on either occasion. Thank you -- Jacob Green Systems Admin American Alloy Steel 713-300-5690

About Windows guest agent
by jingjie.jiang＠oracle.com 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

Hi, I am new in oVirt and I'd like to get the clarification about the packages which support the function of Window guest agent from 4.2 release and how to build it. I looked through the document from ovirt.org, such as https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/internal/guest-agent/guest-agent-for-wi… It mentioned: "With the release of oVirt 3.5 we have introduced the oVirt WGT (Windows Guest Tools). The oVirt WGT provides an ISO with all the tools and drivers one needs to install on a Windows VM, with an easy to use installer to install it all in one step. So manual compilation and installation of oVirt Guest Agent is no longer necessary. The oVirt WGT ISO is included in ovirt-guest-tools-iso-3.5-7.noarch.rpm package." Now, ovirt-guest-tools-iso is up to 4.2.4. I found the src rpm from https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.2/rpm/el7/SRPMS/ovirt-guest-tools-i…, but I could not find ovirt-guest-tools-iso from github, only found ovirt-wgt. After clone the ovirt-wgt, I got the SPICE-tools-0.141.iso built. My question is : 1. Is ovirt-wgt used for Windows guest? 2. If so, how can I build ovirt-guest-tools-iso package or ovirt-tools-setup.iso Thanks, Jingjie

Call for translators: Russian and Czech
by Sandro Bonazzola 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

Hi, one of the beta release criteria is that supported languages have translations at least at 70% of completion. According to zanata[1] we currently have Chinese (Simplified, China) (zh-Hans-CN): 95.1% Czech (cs): 33.97% French (fr) 95.1% German (de) 95.1% Italian (it) 85.84% Japanese (ja): 95.1% Korean (ko) 95.1% Portuguese (Brazil) (pt-BR): 95.1% Russian (ru): 25.17% Spanish (es): 95.1% So, right now Czech and Russian are not meeting release criteria for beta release and are candidate to be disabled in 4.3 unless translators pushes the missing parts.

[ovrit-users] Anyone with Fiber Channel oVirt Storage Experience?
by Jacob Green 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

I just have a few simple questions, have you migrated a fiber channel storage domain from one ovirt environment to another? And how did it go, did it just work aside from having to import all the vms and configure their settings was it any more difficult than that? We want to migrate our fiber channel storage with VM's intact from an oVirt 4.1 environment to a brand new oVirt 4.2 environment. We are using fiber channel via An HP MSA. I do not for see any issues, but since we have never done it before, and we do not have spare Fiber Channel storage to test with, we are just unsure of what the behavior should be. So just wanted to get some opinions or basic guidance, is there anything we should watch out for and does it "just work". -- Jacob Green Systems Admin 713-300-5690
