RC for oVirt Node 3.0.0 is now available
by Mike Burns 17 May '13

17 May '13

Hi all, An update to our beta release from early last week is now available What changed? The features of this release can be found here [0]. Note that vdsm was dropped from Node to make the image more generic. That means this image is not able to register with oVirt Engine. Plugins like the vdsm, cim or snmp plugin can be addded to the beta ISO using the edit-node tool (part of the ovirt-node-tools package). What can I test? You can focus on hardware support, package integration, the installation (all paths) and the TUI. What can I do if I find/miss something? Just reaches us on this mailinglist, on irc [3] or open a bug [4]. Changes since the previous build: * Fix a corruption in NFSv4 configuration * Fix cpu topology reporting for some newer processors * enhancements in the upgrade code * Fix log file visibility * add the keyboard selection page on upgrade * Add IPv6 configuration to the TUI Also available (but still pre-beta, since it's tied to the oVirt release schedule, not the oVirt Node schedule) is the vdsm plugin for ovirt node. This packages can be found here[2]. An iso with this plugin pre-installed is also available[5]. A edit-node.repo file has also been posted for convenience[6] for those of you wishing to make use of the plugins that are not included by default, but available at [2]. These can be installed by using the following command: # sudo edit-node --repo=edit-node.repo --install=<package-name> <base-iso> Sincerely yours The oVirt Node Team -- [1] http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/node-base/beta/iso/ovirt-node-iso-3.0.0… [2] http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/node-base/beta/rpm/Fedora/18/ [3] irc://irc.oftc.net/#ovirt [4] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=oVirt&component=ovirt-node [5] http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/node-base/beta/iso/ovirt-node-iso-3.0.0… [6] http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/node-base/edit-node.repo

That would mean that it's not included. I'll defer to the engine team on when that will get into a build. Mike [1] http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/13172/
