Permission on Vm and User portal
by carl langlois 28 Feb '18

28 Feb '18

Hi all, In 4.1 i was able to assign 1 user to one VM and in the user portal that same user was only seeing this specific VM. But with 4.2 i have trouble with permission. The way i add permission to a specific user is go click on the VM in the admin portal, then go in permission and add the user(active directory user). If i log back with this user on the user portal i do not see the VM that was given the permission. But if i add the same user in the system permission tab in the admin portal and give it the UserRole and log back to the user portal, now he can see all the VM but i only want the user to see is vm not all others ... there is a difference when the is add from the two different place.. is the attribute : when add from the sytem permission it add the (System) in the inherited permission colum, when add from the VM permission tab it does not have that.. Any hints would appreciated. Carl

Installing on ubuntu
by Anastasiya Ruzhanskaya 28 Feb '18

Hello! I am new to oVirt. I want to install it on Ubuntu ( oVirt-Engine) , as I do this for testing for my diploma at university and don't have too much space on my computer for hundreds of VMs. What is the status now? I looked on what is written on the site, is it still true and it can be done through all the hacks listed there? Thank you.

API endpoint for a VM to fetch metadata about itself
by Geoff Sweet 28 Feb '18

28 Feb '18

Is there an API endpoint that VM's can query to discover it's oVirt metadata? Something similar to AWS's http://169.254.169.254/latest/ meta-data/ query in EC2? I'm trying to stitch a lot of automation workflow together and so far I have had great luck with oVirt. But the next small hurdle is to figure out how all the post-install setup stuff can figure out who the VM is so it can the appropriate configurations. Thanks! -Geoff

Network and VLANs
by Gabriel Stein 28 Feb '18

28 Feb '18

Hi all, I have some problems adding VLANs to my VMs and I don't known if there is a better way to do that, like a 'oVirt Way'. All I need is to have a VM on "Test Network" that communicates with another hardware/VMs on "Test Network". All VLANs are configured on my Switch, the Hosts from oVirt are connected and tagged to this VLANs. Is there a "oVirt Way" to do that other than "Setup Networks"? Can I use with oVirt an Virtual Switch? Or a Network Stack? I wrote this Bug about my Problem... Bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1540463 Thanks in Advance!
