Re: [Users] so, what do you want next in oVirt?
What about using ATA over ethernet (AoE) as an optional storage transport within ovirt? Is this feasible? It seems that the protocol is fast and efficient. On Sep 10, 2013 11:58 AM, "Baptiste AGASSE" < baptiste.agasse@lyra-network.com> wrote:

earlier in the year we did a survey for feature requests / improvements / etc.
since a lot of things were added, and priorities usually change, I'd like to ask again for "what do you need the most from oVirt / what are your pain points" next?
below[1] I've listed my understanding of what already went in from previous survey requests (to various degrees of coverage).
Thanks, Itamar
[1] from the top 12 V Allow disk resize V Integrate Nagios/Zabbix monitoring - via a ui plugin V Highly Available engine - via hosted engine[2] V Open vSwitch integration - via neutron integration X Allow cloning VMs without template ? Enable hypervisor upgrade/updates through engine[3] V Allow engine on an oVirt hosted VM - via hosted engine[2] V Enable guest configuration (root password, SSH keys, network) via guest agent in engine - via cloud-init X Integrate v2v into engine ? Bond/extend ovirtmgmt with a second network for HA/increased bandwidth[4] X Integrate scheduling of snapshots and VM export for backups in engine[5] V Spice – support Google Chrome - via mime based launch
Other items mentioned in previous survey which should be covered by now: - Fix timeout when adding local host during all-in-one configuration - Fix engine set-up when SELinux is disabled - Provide packages for el6 (CentOS, Red Hat Enterprise Linux) - Allow multiple VMs to be deployed from the same template at the same time - ISO domains on local/GlusterS - Show IP addresses in Virtual Machines->Network Interfaces - OpenStack Quantum support (now called Neutron) - noVNC support - Support spice.html5 and websocket proxy - Add other guest OSes to list - Port oVirt guest agent to Ubuntu[6] - SLA - Allow resource time-sharing - Spice - Mac client (via mime based launch) - Spice - port XPI plug-in to Windows (not sure this will happen, but mime based launch allows using firefox now) - Spice - client for Ubuntu/Debian (should be covered via mime based launch)

Anyone knows when multiple types of storage domains will be available in the same cluster( e.g local disk and FC and GlusterFS)? On Tue, Sep 17, 2013 at 8:20 AM, Chris Smith <whitehat237@gmail.com> wrote:

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned before, but has VM segregation been considered? eg. I have two DNS VMs, I don't want them both on NODE A. It'd be useful if it got implemented as a regex filter or similar so it doesn't end up having to be manually checking boxes in dozens of VMs. eg.

This is relevant on cases where the VM should not be migrating, which may effect HA VMs. So yes, it is possible to use it unless you expect migration for these VMs.

we call this 'negative affinity' with the new pluggable scheduler in 3.3, you can write a script to extend the scheduler to do this.

Yes sure :). I'll use VMware as an example here. They have APIs presented so that VMware tools can monitor and provide application HA based on a particular application running inside the guest (can be a tomcat server or whatever app) there are some community scripts that can take advantage of this APIs but there are a few commercial software like Symantec Application HA which use a cut off version of Veritas Cluster integrated with vCenter to configure and monitor application cluster inside the VM and restart VM or the application cluster inside VM. maybe we can have a feature like that that the guest tools can provided application level monitoring and configuration of the application cluster can be integrated in the engine.
