Subject: [Users] node spin including qemu-kvm-rhev?
I understand that there are ongoing discussions with the Centos people
regarding a suitable home for recompiled qemu-kvm packages.
Given that the ovirt node is our own spin, is there any reason why that
couldn't include the recompiled qemu-kvm packages that will then allow us to
use live snapshots and do live migrations? Itamar recently mentioned that we
already build these via a jenkins task.
Nodes built on top of a Centos install will still be an issue but I think its
reasonable that the ovirt-node iso could include these custom packages.
This way we don't have to potentially wait until 3.4.1 or 3.5 to get the live
snapshot/migration features. The caveat would be that these features would
only be supported if the nodes were all ovirt node iso based.
What are people's thoughts?
Sounds reasonable as long as you understand mix and match will become an issue.
The questions is how do we differentiate between the nodes to make sure no one
mixes them by mistake?
