[Users] oVirt Updates - Special KVM Forum/oVirt edition
A great week at linuxcon/cloudopen/kvmforum/ovirt conference at Edinburgh, and some other nice feedback on oVirt, meriting a special edition of this update. Feel free to chime in with your feedback as well. It is sometimes hard to remember we only released oVirt 3.0 last year, and that it takes time to get traction. For example, see slide 3 in the presentation i gave on oVirt Updates[1] to see the clear trend in adoption (via total users mailing list addresses). Similarly, in Livnat's oVirt-intro session at CloudOpen, with ~75 people in the room, almost all raised their hand on her question "who knows/has oVirt". We had a plethora of topics (same link as [1]), but i wanted to highlight: SUSE support During Livnat's talk, a question was raised wrt SUSE support. Asking for more details, we got ~"I'm running oVirt in testing and RHEV in production. with 200 SUSE 10/11 servers. I just want the guest-agent to have their ip address in the gui". So first of all, good to know SUSE runs as a guest without issues. Also, the guest-agent itself is just a python script that should just work. Just some packaging is required, so we're looking to revamp this in build.opensuse.org, and hope some SUSE users will help us with closing and testing this one. In related SUSE news, I just saw this posted "After looking into oVirt it looks absolutely fantastic. Might look into seeing if I can help with porting this to openSUSE. What kind of work is involved in the porting of the application like this?" (discussion ongoing) on PPC: Leonardo from the Eldorado research center in Brazil gave a lecture on their work to add PPC support to oVirt. Paul Mackerras (KVM PPC developer) from IBM and Alexenader Graf attended and gave a lot of feedback, and potential interest from other PPC vendors, which should be hopefully mostly config level changes. User Stories: Keele university presented their path to oVirt. Always nice to hear how our project is used, and we actually asked them a lot of questions on why/how they use it the way they do. They also did a case study with Dave Neary, which i hope to see more from oVirt community members. Also, always nice to hear: in an irc chat on #ovirt: "I looked at ovirt about 4 months ago and when I came back a few days ago I was blown away at how far it had come! The devs have done an awesome job". All KVM Forum/oVirt sessions slides (and youtube's) should be available here[1] Thanks, Itamar [1] oVirt Updates session by Itamar Heim http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRCSQmAOh7yzgheq-emy1xA

Thanks a lot for the KVM forum special newsletter.

My favorite slide is #12 (amongst others) - thanks Itamar :)

From my experience so far there's no recent distribution which isn't running without issues on oVirt. I tested SLES, openSUSE, CentOS, RHEL, Fedora, Linux Mint, Debian, Ubuntu and all worked fine. Some older distributions like the one in the attached screenshot are running fine with IDE and rtl8139 emulated disks/nics...
Also, the guest-agent itself is just a python script that should just work. Just some packaging is required, so we're looking to revamp this in build.opensuse.org, and hope some SUSE users will help us with closing and testing this one.
I can help creating packages for SLES and openSUSE on build.opensuse.org for latest guest agent without SSO (and of course test the packages) or is Vinzenz Feenstra already working on it as I saw he pushed the sources to OBS?

Cool, I'll test them on oVirt 3.2.3 (didn't upgrade to 3.3 yet) and let you know. Regards, René

I just tested your guest agent packages on openSUSE 12.3 x86_64 - SLES 11 will follow... Everything works fine except application listing, as the packages have different names on openSUSE: Here's my application_list for openSUSE 12.3: # openSUSE Packages: kernel-desktop ovirt-guest-agent-common xf86-video-qxl applications_list = kernel ovirt-guest-agent xorg-x11-drv-qxl linux-image xserver-xorg-video-qxl kernel-desktop ovirt-guest-agent-common xf86-video-qxl I tested these features and they are working fine: - shutdown guest - display memory - display ip address (both ipv4 and ipv6) - display applications Great job!

I'm sure Vinzenz will appreciate help with this one - so many things to do... Packages are now available for openSUSE 12.3, 13.1 and Factory, and SLES 11 SP3 I also updated a packaged version of python-ethtool to 0.7 in that repository. So that we have the full support of the features it provides.
I just tested your guest agent packages on openSUSE 12.3 x86_64 - SLES 11 will follow...
Everything works fine except application listing, as the packages have different names on openSUSE:

I just wanted to test the SLES 11 guest agent package, but there's only a source rpm available, no binary rpm. According to the build log on build.opensuse.org only the source rpm was created. Also in build.log I see the following errors: [ 73s] error: Recursion depth(17) greater than max(16) [ 73s] error: line 104: # [ 73s] test -n "$FIRST_ARG" || FIRST_ARG=$1 [ 73s] if test "$FIRST_ARG" = "0" ; then [ 73s] test -f /etc/sysconfig/services && . /etc/sysconfig/services [ 73s] if test "$YAST_IS_RUNNING" != "instsys" -a "$DISABLE_STOP_ON_REMOVAL" != yes ; then [ 73s] for service in
I tested these features and they are working fine: - shutdown guest - display memory - display ip address (both ipv4 and ipv6) - display applications
Great job!

I will check with the guys on freenode.net/#opensuse-buildservice Ok I have fixed that issue however it seems like that there will be still an issue with finding a solution which does not need polkit or usermode to execute some things like shutdown, hibernate and lock session
I will investigate that further. In case you have an idea please let me know. Thanks.

A great week at linuxcon/cloudopen/kvmforum/ovirt conference at Edinburgh, and some other nice feedback on oVirt, meriting a special edition of this update. Feel free to chime in with your feedback as well. Thanks a lot for the KVM forum special newsletter.
It is sometimes hard to remember we only released oVirt 3.0 last year, and that it takes time to get traction. For example, see slide 3 in the presentation i gave on oVirt Updates[1] to see the clear trend in adoption (via total users mailing list addresses).
My favorite slide is #12 (amongst others) - thanks Itamar :)
Similarly, in Livnat's oVirt-intro session at CloudOpen, with ~75 people in the room, almost all raised their hand on her question "who knows/has oVirt".
We had a plethora of topics (same link as [1]), but i wanted to highlight:
SUSE support During Livnat's talk, a question was raised wrt SUSE support. Asking for more details, we got ~"I'm running oVirt in testing and RHEV in production. with 200 SUSE 10/11 servers. I just want the guest-agent to have their ip address in the gui". So first of all, good to know SUSE runs as a guest without issues. From my experience so far there's no recent distribution which isn't running without issues on oVirt. I tested SLES, openSUSE, CentOS, RHEL, Fedora, Linux Mint, Debian, Ubuntu and all worked fine. Some older distributions like the one in the attached screenshot are running fine with IDE and rtl8139 emulated disks/nics...
Also, the guest-agent itself is just a python script that should just work. Just some packaging is required, so we're looking to revamp this in build.opensuse.org, and hope some SUSE users will help us with closing and testing this one. I can help creating packages for SLES and openSUSE on build.opensuse.org for latest guest agent without SSO (and of course test the packages) or is Vinzenz Feenstra already working on it as I saw he pushed the sources to OBS? I have been creating first packages now for openSuSE 12.3, 13.1 and Factory:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:evilissimo It'd be great if you could help me testing them :-) For SLES I will still have to check what's requirements are. (Environment wise (systemd present? dependent libraries etc)) I also packaged the latest python-ethtool from upstream Please let me know if anything is broken so I can address the issue :-)
In related SUSE news, I just saw this posted "After looking into oVirt it looks absolutely fantastic. Might look into seeing if I can help with porting this to openSUSE. What kind of work is involved in the porting of the application like this?" (discussion ongoing)
on PPC: Leonardo from the Eldorado research center in Brazil gave a lecture on their work to add PPC support to oVirt. Paul Mackerras (KVM PPC developer) from IBM and Alexenader Graf attended and gave a lot of feedback, and potential interest from other PPC vendors, which should be hopefully mostly config level changes.
User Stories: Keele university presented their path to oVirt. Always nice to hear how our project is used, and we actually asked them a lot of questions on why/how they use it the way they do. They also did a case study with Dave Neary, which i hope to see more from oVirt community members.
Also, always nice to hear: in an irc chat on #ovirt: "I looked at ovirt about 4 months ago and when I came back a few days ago I was blown away at how far it had come! The devs have done an awesome job".
All KVM Forum/oVirt sessions slides (and youtube's) should be available here[1] Thanks for sharing - will watch some of the presentations.

A great week at linuxcon/cloudopen/kvmforum/ovirt conference at Edinburgh, and some other nice feedback on oVirt, meriting a special edition of this update.
There are recordings and slides for *all* the talks in ovirt/kvmforum tracks already, please check out http://www.ovirt.org/KVM_Forum_2013 for slides and youtube session recordings. Cloudopen videos are not yet released, but they should be professionally recorded, so worth a wait:) Thanks, michal
Feel free to chime in with your feedback as well.
It is sometimes hard to remember we only released oVirt 3.0 last year, and that it takes time to get traction. For example, see slide 3 in the presentation i gave on oVirt Updates[1] to see the clear trend in adoption (via total users mailing list addresses).
Similarly, in Livnat's oVirt-intro session at CloudOpen, with ~75 people in the room, almost all raised their hand on her question "who knows/has oVirt".
We had a plethora of topics (same link as [1]), but i wanted to highlight:
SUSE support During Livnat's talk, a question was raised wrt SUSE support. Asking for more details, we got ~"I'm running oVirt in testing and RHEV in production. with 200 SUSE 10/11 servers. I just want the guest-agent to have their ip address in the gui". So first of all, good to know SUSE runs as a guest without issues. Also, the guest-agent itself is just a python script that should just work. Just some packaging is required, so we're looking to revamp this in build.opensuse.org, and hope some SUSE users will help us with closing and testing this one.
In related SUSE news, I just saw this posted "After looking into oVirt it looks absolutely fantastic. Might look into seeing if I can help with porting this to openSUSE. What kind of work is involved in the porting of the application like this?" (discussion ongoing)
