el6 future in ovirt-3.6
by Dan Kenigsberg 25 Mar '15

25 Mar '15

Current master branch of vdsm (destined for our 3.6 release) uses el7 as its main platform. New features are expected to be available only on el7 (and modern Fedoras) but not on el6. On el6, vdsm still builds, runs, and exports clusterLevel <= 3.5, with no feature loss relative to 3.5. This has been done per gluster request. However, maintaining this furhter as high costs: we keep testing el6, we need to make sure nothing breaks there, and there's a lot of legacy code that we could start deleting. Sahina, would you explain (again... sorry for not recalling the details) why ovirt-3.6's vdsm should keep running on el6? I'd like to see if there's a nother means to solve the underlying gluster issue. Regards, Dan.

I can't build ovirt-engine master due to what looks like some old code that got into vdsm-jsonrpc-java-client-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar today. Anyone else seeing this?

searching by tags
by Einav Cohen 24 Mar '15

24 Mar '15

Hi, AFAIR, we used to support a hierarchical search by tag. i.e. if I had a parent tag "Europe", and it had child-tags "Italy" and "UK", a search such as: "VMs: tag=Europe" would have returned VMs that are tagged with "Europe" as well as VMs tagged with any child-tags of "Europe" (i.e. VMs that are tagged with "UK" or "Italy"); however, this doesn't seem to be the case anymore [see http://i.imgur.com/85rZbZj.png] [I am running master from ~3 weeks ago] Any idea why? Thanks. ---- Regards, Einav

Default virt lock manager and Sanlock for Hosted Engine HA
by Sandro Bonazzola 24 Mar '15

24 Mar '15

Hi, while working on a patch for hosted engine[1] it has been raised an objection about limiting the use of sanlock as lock manager to the Hosted Engine VM only. "the ha should dynamically set libvirt if possible, or we need to also revert this part if disabled. also, if ever vdsm will require to configure this file we will have a race which is not healthy. it seems that you can define domain and per domain setting and assign your vm to that domain instead of effecting entire host." But looking at Fedora Virt Lock Manager feature[2] looks like we should configure libvirt for using sanlock by default and not only for Hosted Engine HA. If we decide that we should keep the default lockd manager instead of the sanlock one I wpuld like to ask virt team which is the best way for setting sanlock only for the hosted engine VM. I've seen I can change the libvirt xml using a vdsm hook and pass command line options to qemu[3] but I can't see an option to pass to qemu-kvm for that. There was also an ongoing discussion about locking per disk / per vm on the storage team part, so maybe this is not the best way to get this done after all. What do you think / suggest?

[ACTION REQUESTED] new tooltips! don't use title='tooltip' anymore
by Greg Sheremeta 22 Mar '15

22 Mar '15

Hi, TL;DR: there are new tooltip classes. Please only use the new stuff going forward. ... A bunch of patches were merged this week that converted every tooltip in ovirt-engine to use PatternFly (Bootstrap3) tooltips. Examples: [1] Since we want to keep all of the tooltips looking the same, please don't use DecoratedPanels or title attributes for tooltips anymore. Going forward, you must use the WidgetTooltip class (if you're putting a tooltip on a Widget), or the built in getTooltip() template method if you're providing a tooltip in a grid. [2] As part of this effort, I did some cleanup / refactoring to the Cell and Column infrastructure. A few noteworthy things: * All custom Cells that simply provided some variation of tooltip behavior were removed. Tooltips are now provided for free by the root objects in the Cell and Column hierarchy. * Almost all Columns use the template-method pattern for rendering a tooltip. Simply override the getTooltip method with tooltip contents. 'null' is ok (means no tooltip). * Cells also use the same template-method pattern for supporting a tooltip render, but tooltips should render in Columns wherever possible. Only use direct Cell rendering if absolutely necessary -- for example, in CompositeCells. * Text truncation behavior now lives in TextCell. There are two truncation methods -- fixed length limit, or CSS overflow-based. Text that is truncated will show in a tooltip, unless a manual tooltip is provided on that Column. (In other words, if text is too long to fit in a column, '...' will appear and a tooltip will show the full contents. Unless you override that behavior by setting your own tooltip in getTooltip().) * The Element ID Framework is fully integrated now. All Cell render methods are passed a unique ID. Please use it in your render. This helps with automated tests. Some code examples: in UIBinder: <t:WidgetTooltip ui:field="tooltip"> <g:SomeWidget ...> </t:WidgetTooltip> ... @UiField WidgetTooltip tooltip; ... tooltip.setHtml(someToolipValue); tooltip.reconfigure(); in a Column: @Override public SafeHtml getTooltip(XXXX object) { String tooltipContent = object.someProperty(); return SafeHtmlUtils.fromString(tooltipContent); } or, if a constant tooltip: @Override public SafeHtml getTooltip(XXXX object) { return SafeHtmlUtils.fromTrustedConstant(constants.someConstant()); } Let me know if there are any questions, or if you see any bugs! Thanks, Greg [1] http://i.imgur.com/rZ5oIIb.png http://i.imgur.com/6lpKuSD.png http://i.imgur.com/hYcZSuT.png http://i.imgur.com/9oKZnK4.png [2] you can also put a tooltip on an Element, but try to use a Widget if you can.
