AFAIK isn't a old qemu-kvm package but a exclusive rhev package with the live storage migration flags activated in the rpm build spec. I could activate live storage migration in 3.4 using the packages of this 3rd party repo: http://www.dreyou.org/ovirt/vdsm/Packages/ I manually installed (rpm -i) qemu-img-rhev and qemu-kvm-rhev in each node. I didn't need to update vdsm. Yes I know that is not the most elegant and professional way, but I need live storage migration. My nodes run Centos 6.5 and vdsm 4.13.3 I don't know why downstream includes this feature while upstream still don't have this. Sounds as political and commercial reasons from RH. --------------050008010704080501000707 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <html> <head> <meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type"> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> <div class="moz-cite-prefix">On 31/03/14 04:17, Paul Jansen wrote:<br> </div> <blockquote cite="mid:1396250262.21835.YahooMailNeo@web120604.mail.ne1.yahoo.com" type="cite"> <div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, Sans-Serif;font-size:12pt"> <div><span>From what I can understand ovirt 3.4.0 - or a least the hypervisor part based on el6 - cannot do live storage migration due to an older qemu-kvm package.</span></div> </div> </blockquote> <br> AFAIK isn't a old qemu-kvm package but a exclusive rhev package with the live storage migration flags activated in the rpm build spec.<br> <br> I could activate live storage migration in 3.4 using the packages of this 3rd party repo: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.dreyou.org/ovirt/vdsm/Packages/">http://www.dreyou.org/ovirt/vdsm/Packages/</a><br> <br> I manually installed (rpm -i) qemu-img-rhev and qemu-kvm-rhev in each node.

upstream in this case is CentOS, and it provides what RHEL provides, which is without these features. we are working with CentOS to provide this. until then, we are building it nightly from CentOS sources here: http://jenkins.ovirt.org/view/All/job/qemu-kvm-rhev_create_rpms_el6/lastSucc...
Sorry if I have to correct you or I didn't understand you correctly but do you mean RHEL doesn't provide these compiler flag in their qemu-kvm version? Because I think they do: http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/6Server/en/RHEV/SRPMS/qemu... There is also a BZ somewhere. R P Herrold could say something about this I guess. CC'ing him.

Ah, okay, now I'm totally confused and really don't know where this other package comes from. I was really thinking it was used. Thanks for your correction. Am 05.04.2014 23:15, schrieb Itamar Heim:
