Hi Everyone,
as we wrap oVirt 3.2, I wanted to check with oVirt users on what they find good/useful in oVirt, and what they would like to see improved/added in coming versions?
Hi, +1 for clustered ovirt manager for availability. I've seen a pdf document describing how to configure Red Hat Cluster and GFS with RHEV-M, but I feel Red Hat Cluster and GFS adds too much complexity compared to what is required for ovirt manager. Perhaps the use of glusterfs and keepalived (http://www.keepalived.org/) would be sufficient to create an easy to configure ovirt manager failover cluster? Regards, Siggi

Siggi, Great idea is running this oVIrt-engine to two or more vm's in to oVirt, example: * Install 2 nodes or more and running oVirt-engine provisory in laptop, for example, after create 2 vm's HA for permanent engine virtualized and HA. Only suggestion. Marcelo Barbosa *mr.marcelo.barbosa@gmail.com* On Wed, Jan 9, 2013 at 9:32 AM, Sigbjorn Lie <sigbjorn@nixtra.com> wrote:

Hi, What will happen in case of a shutdown of all nodes and both ovirt-engine vm's? Will the nodes be able to start it's virtual machines without a connection to the ovirt-engine? Rgds, Siggi On Wed, January 9, 2013 13:27, Marcelo Barbosa wrote:

Siggi, As far as my knowledge reaches, I believe the engine off does not interfere with us, or you will lose HA and other resources, and if we all just outside the world: D so the engine will not help much, I think, good test for all.

Hey Sigbjorn, I currently use a cluster of two "management nodes" with a classical corosync/pacemaker/drbd setup which also provides DNS, DHCP, TFTP, all repositories we need to install our VMs and the central configuration management. We have a failover IP (and hostname) and our cluster makes sure that all databases/services which need to be kept together are running on one host. However, setting up something like this is a quite complex process, so having a postgresql cluster (at least with postgres 9+) is not too difficult to set up and then having a redundant engine cluster would be a perfect solution.
