Re: [Engine-devel] [Users] oVirt 3.3.2 release
by Bob Doolittle 21 Dec '13

21 Dec '13

Thanks. I considered that but I've been hesitant to try manual workarounds in case my environment proves helpful for troubleshooting or verifying a solution. Clearly the community needs a real fix, although the lack of response to this issue surprised me.

[Engine-devel] BUG: Typo in RSDL 3.3.2
by Sven Kieske 20 Dec '13

20 Dec '13

Hi, in the rsdl you got: link href="/api/hosts/{host:id}/forceselectspm" rel="forceselectspm"><description>force the specified to be selected as storage pool manager</description><request><http_method>POST</http_method> it should read "force the specified host to be selected" I think there are more of those, but I can't list them all atm. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Regards Sven Kieske Systemadministrator Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co.

[Engine-devel] REST Error during VM creation
by Sven Kieske 20 Dec '13

20 Dec '13

Hi, when we try to create a vm via REST-API, we get the following error via REST: <h1>HTTP Status 500 - org.codehaus.jackson.map.JsonMappingException: (was java.lang.NullPointerException) (through reference chain: org.ovirt.engine.api.model.VM["console"])</h1><HR size="1" noshade="noshade"><p><b>type</b> Status report</p><p><b>message</b> <u>org.codehaus.jackson.map.JsonMappingException: (was java.lang.NullPointerException) (through reference chain: org.ovirt.engine.api.model.VM["console"])</u></p><p><b>description</b> <u>The server encountered an internal error (org.codehaus.jackson.map.JsonMappingException: (was java.lang.NullPointerException) (through reference chain: org.ovirt.engine.api.model.VM["console"])) that prevented it from fulfilling this request.</u></p><HR size="1" noshade="noshade"><h3>JBoss Web/7.0.13.Final</h3> However, the vm is correctly created (see attached engine.log). This is ovirt-engine 3.3.2-1.el6 Any suggestions? We need to be able to get the correct response via API. Should I open a BZ for this? -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Regards Sven Kieske Systemadministrator Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co.

[Engine-devel] UX: Display VM Downtime in the UI
by Adam Litke 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Hi UX developers, My recent change: http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/22429/ adds support for tracking the time a VM was last stopped and presenting it in the REST API. I would also like to expose this information in the admin portal. This feature has been requested by end users and is useful for managing lots of VMs which may not be used frequently. My idea is to change the 'Uptime' column in the VMs tab to 'Uptime / Downtime' or some equivalent and more compact phrasing. If the VM is Up, then last_start_time would be used to calculate uptime. If the VM is Down, then last_stop_time would be used to calculate downtime. This helps to make efficient use of the column space. I am not sure how column sorting is being implemented, but if we combine uptime and downtime into a single column we have an opportunity to provide a really intuitive sort where the longest uptime machines are at the top and the longest downtime machines are at the bottom. This could be accomplished by treating uptime as a positive interval and downtime as a negative interval. Questions for you all: - Do you support the idea of changing the Uptime column to include Downtime as well or would you prefer a new column instead? - Is there a better heading for the new column or is 'Uptime / Downtime' good enough? - How should we handle sorting? Thanks for your input!

[Engine-devel] Increasing the HTTP keep alive to 30 seconds
by Juan Hernandez 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Hello, We have an RFE that has been open for quite a long time requesting an increase of the keep alive time in the HTTP communications between the GUI applications and the web server: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/833799 Implementing it should be as simple as modifying the setup application so that it includes the modified KeepAlive directives in the web server configuration, something like this: KeepAlive on KeepAliveTimeout 30 Is someone with knowledge of the setup application interested on taking this?

[Engine-devel] No-arg constructor required by default in backend "common" module's classes
by Vojtech Szocs 18 Dec '13

18 Dec '13

Hi guys, in order to avoid potential errors related to GWT RPC serialization, a recent patch [1] introduced the requirement for no-arg constructor in backend "common" module's classes. [1] http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/21733/ (Even though we're planning to move away from GWT RPC to using REST API, for the time being, this should prevent RPC related errors caused by missing no-arg constructor, which are sometimes hard to trace.) For a select few classes *not* involved in RPC communication, you can add these in checkstyle-suppressions.xml file. Vojtech

[Engine-devel] Polling vs Pushing engine events
by Sven Kieske 18 Dec '13

18 Dec '13

Hi, we got the following problem: we create / start / stop hole vms /data centers / storage etc (basically: everything ovirt can handle via REST-API) But if you want to know e.g. the status of a vm (or anything) you need to constantly poll the API. This is not what we desire to do, as it does not scale very well (e.g. polling 100 vms). Is there a standardized way of pushing information from the engine? -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Regards Sven Kieske Systemadministrator Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co.
