- Everybody should review Piotr's http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/q/status:open+project:vdsm+branch:master+topic:sc… and approve the API of their respective component. Francesco: virt Nir: storage Adam: live{merge,snapshot}, mother patch Ido: network - Nir suggest to generate API from schema (or vice versa) instead of verifying that the duplicated API definition is consistent. Adam agrees that API.py can go away; but that Piotr's work is helpful sanity check for the short term. - F21 needs testing. Petr Horacek reports that vdsmd works exteremely slowly when started via systemd on Fedora 21. Please report to this list if you have good/bad experience with it. - el6 nearing its end of support. clusterLevel 3.6 features would be limitted to el7. - Adam suggests to tag legacy code with # REQUIRED_FOR: el6 Or # REQUIRED_FOR: engine-3.0 So it is easier to find and drop when we remove support of legacy platform or legacy client. - Nir and Federico to review Amador's iscsiadm.iface_list() http://gerrit.ovirt.org/35807 and follow-up patches.

[UI] Start/stop progress automatically
by Lior Vernia 14 Dec '14

14 Dec '14

Hello guys, I've made an attempt to solve the following bug, which deals with dialogs that don't display progress when dispatching backend actions and therefore enable users to create entities twice, etc.: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1167327 I've posted a first patch [1] that is supposed to implement generic infrastructure to handle progress display based on async events. Put relevant reviewers as I saw fit. Posted another patch [2] that shows what kind of code will be made redundant by the previous patch - I have no intention of removing all that code myself, I trust maintainers to do so at their leisure. Of course future code won't require "manual" progress handling at all... The first patch also *seemingly* rendered a lot of code redundant in several storage/virt flows, which is removed [3]. Put relevant people as reviewers, but would also appreciate help verifying (as I'm not familiar with many of the flows, especially storage). Yours, Lior.

OSCON is returning to Portland July 20-24, 2015, and we want to make sure it's on your radar. As you probably know, the O'Reilly Open Source Convention is the must-attend professional training event for 4,000+ developers, programmers, engineers, architects, CxOs, and technology innovators. OSCON is well known for a fast-paced, intellectually stimulating program, that covers the open source ecosystem in its entirety. The call for speakers has just opened. If you, or any of your colleagues, are interested in speaking at OSCON, please review the new and improved program themes and tracks at OSCON.com, and find out about the kinds of topics we’re looking for, as well as tips for creating a great proposal. Proposals are due by February 2, 2015. http://www.oscon.com/open-source-2015 -- Brian Proffitt Community Liaison oVirt Open Source and Standards, Red Hat - http://community.redhat.com Phone: +1 574 383 9BKP IRC: bkp @ OFTC

Really slow VDSM on F21
by Petr Horacek 11 Dec '14

11 Dec '14

Hello, has anyone else noticed VDSM's problems on Fedora 21? The problem is that when I start vdsmd via systemd, it takes about a minute to start the listener (returning Connection to 0.0.0.0:54321 refused) and next few minutes it returns 'Recovering from crash or Initializing'. After that, `getVdsCaps` takes cca 20 secs to finish. I tried to change niceness in vdsmd.service but it's still the same. When I start vdsm directly (/usr/share/vdsm/vdsm as vdsm user) it starts within a second as it should. Have you an idea why this happens? Best regards, Petr

Creating a new gerrit flag
by David Caro 11 Dec '14

11 Dec '14

--I33OQG5IFrqF2BWt Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi! e have been having an issue with gerrit patches being merged before jenkins ran any tests on them, to avoid it from happening again I propose creating a new gerrit flag (Tests) with the following specifics: +1 - Tests passed/overrided 0 - Tests pending -1 - Tests broken where +1 is required to submit, +1 is set by jenkins when passing the tests and -1 is set by jenkins in case it breaks any tests. The +1 flag can be set also by maintainers to allow overriding the process. That way all the tests will be blocked until someone (hopefully jenkins) adds the +1 flag, but if the maintainer wants to override the value, she just has to set that flag herself.

where vm obeject be deleted from vmContainer when shutdown
by zhangjian2011 11 Dec '14

Hi, Guys I am studying ovirt, and now I am checking how vdsm manage VM. But now I have a trouble about the process "shutdown VM". I know that when start up a VM, a vm object will be added to the vmContainer. And I think the vm object will be deleted from vmContainer when shutdown/poweroff since the code will check whether the vm object exist in vmContainer when start up VM. --------------------------------- # cat vdsm/API.py def create(self, vmParams): """ Start up a virtual machine. :param vmParams: required and optional VM parameters. :type vmParams: dict """ vmParams['vmId'] = self._UUID try: if vmParams.get('vmId') in self._cif.vmContainer: self.log.warning('vm %s already exists' % vmParams['vmId']) return errCode['exist'] ... snip ... --------------------------------- I found the vm object will be deleted from vmContainer when poweroff. but I did not find where vm obeject be deleted from vmContainer when shutdown. Does someone can help me? --------------------------------- # cat vdsm/virt/vm.py def destroy(self): self.log.debug('destroy Called') response = self.doDestroy() if response['status']['code']: return response # Clean VM from the system self.deleteVm() ... snip ... def deleteVm(self): """ Clean VM from the system """ try: del self.cif.vmContainer[self.conf['vmId']] self.log.debug("Total desktops after destroy of %s is %d", self.conf['vmId'], len(self.cif.vmContainer)) except Exception: self.log.error("Failed to delete VM %s", self.conf['vmId'], exc_info=True) ... snip ... --------------------------------- Regards, Jian -- -------------------------------------------------- Zhang Jian Development Dept.I Nanjing Fujitsu Nanda Software Tech.
