Hi, I got oVirt up and running on my Gentoo server. What I would like to know is if there is some info page on current git version features of oVirt? For example, I would like to know what type of storage is supported as I could only see NFS type on webadmin. So am I doing something wrong or am I just blind? :) Also, if there is something I could help about related to Gentoo and oVirt, let me know...

Hi Dimitrije. +1 on Gentoo ;) Specifically on storage, Engine supports also local storage, iscsi and FC. However not all of it is currently enabled in the UI, as it is still under heavy construction. You may handle these storage types using the RESTFul Api. There are many tasks we could use some help with, and it depends on your skills. oVirt Engine is Java based. However there are other areas such as vdsm (python), RESTFul API and SDK, UI (GWT), packaging, etc... So let us know which parts you feel you can dive in, and we'll be able to route you ;) As for Gentoo (I tried that in the past); I have a working setup on Gentoo as well. In order to add it to the portage tree, we need a herd with some people to help us. We can start creating the first ebuilds, but from my experience we'll need more help to make the opensource JBoss build on Gentoo. That said we can start working with the binary deployment and evolve from there. Doron -- /d "2B | !2B = FF"

NFS and local storage should be available in the webadmin. still need to close the GAP in UI for FC/iScsi (much more complex dialog...) (REST API supports all)

Thanks guy for such quick response... 1. For a start, I would be very interested in creating an ebuild files for Gentoo. As I am not able to do much of coding - lack of spare time due to my job - I would like to at least try to help by creating ebuild files for fellows "Larry fans" :))) Will probably open a bug on bugs.gentoo.org so that progress could be monitored there... 2. There is an article on wiki.gentoo.org already about oVirt (and please don't laugh when You read it - those few sentences are written around midnight last night, as a reminder :) ). I will write a proper article as soon as I find the time, hopefully by the midnight tonight :))) Stay tuned... I think this is a project that has been missing for a long time - at least I know I needed this kind of software - so I hope oVirt will mature quickly enough. I hope that ovirt wiki will get a bit organized and maybe not so fedora-centric down the line, but... quite good for a start... :) On Mon, Nov 14, 2011 at 2:34 PM, Itamar Heim <iheim@redhat.com> wrote:

Sounds good, you need to differentiate between 2 setups; 1. Development setup, which is mostly what we have now. 2. Packaged setup. Well in Gentoo it's not that different since it will compile from sources. That said, since the GWT compiler is a memory hog we'll have to introduce some USE flags to keep it working even for GECO only (and then allow other browsers). Anyway I recommend starting with (1), and as we progress move to (2).

Well, I agree... As you will se in the wiki article, I had to set MAVEN_OPTS for Xmx to 2048M and the same for PermSize as it was breaking with the PermGenSPace error.... That went away after setting MAVEN_OPTS but then I had error code 137 - I used sun-jdk 1.6.0_24 (I think....). Then I Also used the trick for compiling only 1 permutation - support only for Gecko 1_8 and everything went OK... On Mon, Nov 14, 2011 at 4:18 PM, Doron Fediuck <dfediuck@redhat.com> wrote:

That's good news. I gave you a minor push by adding some contents. Please review / comment / fill-in as needed. -- /d "Email returned to sender -- insufficient voltage."

+1 Definitely want to make this a visibly neutral upstream. The Fedora-centrism is natural at this stage of the project, but it's very important that we help focus the wiki so it is a useful upstream. So, at minimum, it would be great to have a mirror (or be a new canonical location) for Gentoo-specific content. [[Category:Gentoo]] and all that. (Maybe we put distro-specific content in stand-alone articles, all in [[Category:Distro]], then use transclusion to pull together variations.) I've been thinking the wiki discussion would be best for the arch@ovirt.org mailing list, which is used for general technical discussions across the project.
