by Sandro Bonazzola 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

The oVirt Project is pleased to announce today the general availability of oVirt 3.6.2. This latest community release includes several new features, such as: - More feedback about the status of the recovery - Rebalance option have been disabled on the menu for non-distributed volumes - Host in maintenance mode now stop glusterd and glusterfsd processes - Host activation now restart glusterd - Improved DNF support - Improved MOM performances - Added the ability to override the Storage Domain name field oVirt is an open-source, openly-governed enterprise virtualization management application, developed by a global community. You can use the oVirt management interface (oVirt Engine) to manage hardware nodes, storage and network resources, and to deploy and monitor virtual machines running in your data center. If you are familiar with VMware products, oVirt is conceptually similar to vSphere. oVirt serves as the bedrock for Red Hat's Enterprise Virtualization product, and it is the "upstream" project where new features are developed prior to their inclusion in Red Hat's supported product offering.
