Hi, I assume you are referring to the vmdisk hook [1] ? First, you need to install the hook on the host. To display the existing VM properties: engine-config -g UserDefinedVMProperties Add the vmdisk property, you will have to select the DC version: engine-config -s UserDefinedVMProperties='vmdisk=^.*$' Check that value is configured: engine-config -g UserDefinedVMProperties Restart the engine. Now, it should be available in the UI.

It is a regular expression for free text. For other properties it would be different : 'pincpu=^[0-9]+$' only numbers sap_agent=^(true|false)$' only true or false On Wed, Mar 22, 2017 at 12:28 PM, TranceWorldLogic . < tranceworldlogic(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > Hi, > > Regarding command => engine-config -s UserDefinedVMProperties='vmdis > k=^.*$' > How you come to know about "^.*$" to set for vmdisk ? > > Please explain in detail. > > Thanks, > ~Rohit > > On Wed, Mar 22, 2017 at 1:07 PM, Fred Rolland <frolland(a)redhat.com&gt; > wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I assume you are referring to the vmdisk hook [1] ? >> First, you need to install the hook on the host. >> >> >> To display the existing VM properties: >> engine-config -g UserDefinedVMProperties >> >> Add the vmdisk property, you will have to select the DC version: >> engine-config -s UserDefinedVMProperties='vmdisk=^.*$' >> >> Check that value is configured: >> engine-config -g UserDefinedVMProperties >> >> Restart the engine. >> >> Now, it should be available in the UI. >> >> >> [1] https://www.ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/vdsm/hook/vmdisk/ >> >> >> On Wed, Mar 22, 2017 at 8:44 AM, TranceWorldLogic . < >> tranceworldlogic(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: >> >>> Hi, >>> >>> I want to use local storage for VM and hence I want to enable vmdisk >>> custom property in ovirt. >>> How to enable vmdisk in ovirt-engine ? >>> >>> Thanks, >>> ~Rohit >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> Users mailing list >>> Users(a)ovirt.org >>> http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users >>> >>> >> >
