Hi, as every year I'd like to have a survey gathering feedback from the oVirt community. I would like to get input from the community itself on what you'd like to know from the other members of the community. As oVirt developer: which question may help you take decisions on new features or deprecate existing ones you consider unused? As oVirt sysadmin user: which question may help you take decisions on your datacenters planning? As a third party software vendor (backup, monitoring, ...): which questions may help you drive your further developments integrating with oVirt? As a downstream vendor, integrator, consultant offering services around oVirt: which questions may help you drive your investment on contributing to oVirt project? As a university, research center, high school, code club, which questions may help you drive your decision to be involved with the future of oVirt project? Any other questions you think may be relevant and worth asking the oVirt community? Collecting questions suggested in this thread here: https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-site/wiki/oVirt-2022-Survey-questions Thanks, -- Sandro Bonazzola MANAGER, SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, EMEA R&D RHV Red Hat EMEA <https://www.redhat.com/> sbonazzo@redhat.com <https://www.redhat.com/> *Red Hat respects your work life balance. Therefore there is no need to answer this email out of your office hours.*

Hi all, my proposals: 1. How often do you log in as an admin to VM Portal? (choose one) - almost never - less often then to Web Admin - as often as to Web Admin - more often than to Web Admin 2. When logged in as an admin to VM Portal - what kind of activities do you perform? (choose all that apply) - verify reported user problems - verify if it works - typical user tasks - admin tasks 3. Have you encountered cases when a regular user had to be given admin rights to unblock his daily work? (specify cases if any) 4. Which user settings in VM Portal are in use in your installation? (choose all that apply) - language - refresh interval - do not disturb - preferred console type - connect automatically (with a console to a VM) - fullscreen (for any console) - Ctrl+Alt+Del mapping (VNC or SPICE) - smartcard (SPICE) - SSH key (Serial Console) 5. What console type do you use for Windows VMs? (choose all that apply) - RDP - Native SPICE - Native VNC - Browser VNC (noVNC) - Serial - other (specify) 6. What console type do you use for non-Windows VMs? (choose all that apply) - Native SPICE - Native VNC - Browser VNC (noVNC) - Serial - other (specify) 7. Console usage patterns in your installation (choose all that apply) - user is free to choose console according to personal preference - choice is dictated by the client OS (i.e. thin client, Mac, etc) - user choice is altered by system-wide config (i.e. ClientModeConsoleDefault) - user choice is restricted by removing consoles via VM config - user choice is restricted (outside of oVirt) by blocking access (i.e. on firewall) best regards, radek

Hi, I suggest adding the following questions regarding the oVirt UI as well: 1. Which user settings (i.e. persisted settings for the logged-in user) in *Administration Portal* are missing and highly required to be added? - disable confirmation messages settings - disable notification messages setting - session timeout settings - refresh intervals settings - global level console options (and not just per VM) - anything else? 2. Which improvements in the UI (for *Admin Portal* and *VM Portal*) do you think are mostly required? - a free text answer Thanks, Sharon On Thu, May 19, 2022 at 2:20 PM Sandro Bonazzola <sbonazzo@redhat.com> wrote:

If you use a third party management utility, what is a feature you'd like to see implemented most? - Image upload / download. - VM creation / deletion. - VM config edit. - Other: Free text entry. 5. What is the most frusturating part of managing an oVirt installation? - Storage Domain connectivity. - CentOS Stream updates. - Certificate Management. - Lack of CPU type options / Unsupported configurations. - Lack of official support for versions other than the most recent release of oVirt. - Other: Free text entry. 6. What feature would you like to see implemented in oVirt? (Select all that apply.) - More CPU types / allow unsupported VM hosts. - Centralized Certificate Management. - VM PCI bus tree editing. (Change order of the VM's PCI devices / Change PCI slot numbers for VM devices / etc.) - UEFI vars support for non-SecureBoot VMs. - VM UEFI firmware replacement.
