[Engine-devel] GWT Dev Mode unbearably slow in WebAdmin
by Greg Sheremeta 21 Mar '14

21 Mar '14

Has anyone else noticed that GWT Dev Mode is unbearably slow for WebAdmin? On my machine, it's to the point where I might as well rebuild the entire application for every change and not bother with Dev Mode. Pages take 4 or 5 minutes to render. Sometimes after 5 minutes, I just give up, close everything, and rebuild the app. For now, I want to see if others have this issue. If we confirm that it's widespread, we can discuss ways to mitigate. Greg Sheremeta Red Hat, Inc. Sr. Software Engineer, RHEV Cell: 919-807-1086 gshereme(a)redhat.com

[Engine-devel] Asynchronous tasks for live merge
by Adam Litke 03 Mar '14

03 Mar '14

Hi all, As part of our plan to support live merging of VM disk snapshots it seems we will need a new form of asynchronous task in ovirt-engine. I am aware of AsyncTaskManager but it seems to be limited to managing SPM tasks. For live merge, we are going to need something called VmTasks since the async command can be run only on the host that currently runs the VM. The way I see this working from an engine perspective is: 1. RemoveSnapshotCommand in bll is invoked as usual but since the VM is found to be up, we activate an alternative live merge flow. 2. We submit a LiveMerge VDS Command for each impacted disk. This is an asynchronous command which we need to monitor for completion. 3. A VmJob is inserted into the DB so we'll remember to handle it. 4. The VDS Broker monitors the operation via an extension to the already collected VmStatistics data. Vdsm will report active Block Jobs only. Once the job stops (in error or success) it will cease to be reported by vdsm and engine will know to proceed. 5. When the job has completed, VDS Broker raises an event up to bll. Maybe this could be done via VmJobDAO on the stored VmJob? 6. Bll receives the event and issues a series of VDS commands to complete the operation: a) Verify the new image chain matches our expectations (the snap is no longer present in the chain). b) Delete the snapshot volume c) Remove the VmJob from the DB Could you guys review this proposed flow for sanity? The main conceptual gaps I am left with concern #5 and #6. What is the appropriate way for VDSBroker to communicate with BLL? Is there an event mechanism I can explore or should I use the database? I am leaning toward the database because it is persistent and will ensure #6 gets completed even if engine is restarted somewhere in the middle. For #6, is there an existing polling / event loop in bll that I can plug into? Thanks in advance for taking the time to think about this flow and for providing your insights! -- Adam Litke

[Engine-devel] Install rhevm-guest-agent on SLES guest
by Vikas Kokare 03 Mar '14

03 Mar '14

We want to install the rhevm-guest-agent package on a virtual machine with Suse Linux as the guest OS. The RHEVM 3.2 documentation provides install instructions for RHEL and Windows guests but not for Suse Linux. This agent is important to monitor virtual resources on guest machines, hence the need. How can this be done?

[Engine-devel] ReST API docs
by Vikas Kokare 02 Mar '14

02 Mar '14

Only https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtu… the ReST API document available, and not corresponding versions for 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3. I see differences in 3.0 ReST data structure and what is returned back from RHEVM 3.2 installation. Please point to the REST API Guide for RHEVM 3.2.

[Engine-devel] Search collections with queries
by Vikas Kokare 26 Feb '14

26 Feb '14

There is very limited documentation (ReST API)about the search query "criteria" for searching objects. The general format is (criteria) [sortby (elem ent) asc|desc] I was looking for detailed information on what the criteria can or can't support. Please guide to the appropriate source.
