SyNc meeting - Vdsm 26.1
by Yaniv Bronheim 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

(ybronhei, piotr, fromani, mzamazal, edwafh, ydary) Hi, Yaniv Dary raised the desire to modify vdsm name to ovirt-host-agent. The motivation is to align with ovirt components (ovirt-agent, ovirt-engine, ovirt-host-deploy, ovirt-node .... and so on). In addition, vdsm versions are not aligned with ovirt versions at all (historical reasons which we keep to avoid upgrade issues). GSS gets many questions about the differences between vdsm and other components in ovirt, and this will make their life easier. Basically, we all agreed that it is a good direction to have consistency with other components in ovirt but ovirt-host-agent sounds less than what vdsm actually does (sounds like ovirt-host-manager fits better). Yaniv will send official mail to devel list and we'll discuss it more deeply there. Francesco backported health patches merged to ovirt-3.5, will be published as part of vdsm v4.16.33 (https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/52699 h ttps://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/52700 <https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/52700> https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/52701) it can help for later investigations with 3.5 vdsms. Milan works on debian packing, he arranges the mess we have under our current Debian folder. He currently discovered issues with sanlock package in debian which he still investigates. Greetings, -- *Yaniv Bronhaim.*

removing parameterized constructors from queries.
by Martin Mucha 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Hi, I got another bug about missing constructor: public …(P parameters, EngineContext engineContext) { super(parameters, engineContext); } so I looked into: org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.QueriesCommandBase and it seems, that sole 'problem' is with initialization of user in @PostConstruct method. It seems, that we can easily set all those fields via setters, and user initialization can be done later, for example before calling executeQueryCommand in: org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.QueriesCommandBase#executeCommand doing this will move us closer to CDI and avoid errors because of forgotten constructor. Is there a obstacle blocking us from doing this? thanks, Mar. Edit: I had some time left so I tried to implement it, and it seems to be working. It's big patch, but mostly there's just constructors removal. Actual changes are in: QueriesCommandBase CommandsFactory RegisterVdsQuery GetAllTemplateBasedEntityQuery GetAllInstanceTypesQuery GetAllVmTemplatesQuery GetAllImageTypesQuery and test files.

[ANN] oVirt 3.6.2 Final Release is now available
by Sandro Bonazzola 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

The oVirt Project is pleased to announce today the general availability of oVirt 3.6.2. This latest community release includes several new features, such as: - More feedback about the status of the recovery - Rebalance option have been disabled on the menu for non-distributed volumes - Host in maintenance mode now stop glusterd and glusterfsd processes - Host activation now restart glusterd - Improved DNF support - Improved MOM performances - Added the ability to override the Storage Domain name field oVirt is an open-source, openly-governed enterprise virtualization management application, developed by a global community. You can use the oVirt management interface (oVirt Engine) to manage hardware nodes, storage and network resources, and to deploy and monitor virtual machines running in your data center. If you are familiar with VMware products, oVirt is conceptually similar to vSphere. oVirt serves as the bedrock for Red Hat's Enterprise Virtualization product, and it is the "upstream" project where new features are developed prior to their inclusion in Red Hat's supported product offering.

[UI plugins] replacing RestApiSessionAcquired event
by Vojtech Szocs 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

Hi, in oVirt 4.0 the RestApiSessionAcquired event will be replaced with API to create authenticated requests for Engine services. Using REST API persistent session mechanism where UI acquires a single session to be shared by all UI plugins led us to many problems in the past, typically observed by end users as "Auth Required" browser popups. The new API proposed by [1] creates XMLHttpRequest object with following properties: * sets "Authorization: Bearer xxx" header before sending * logs request and response details (enabled via API option) [1] https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/49278/ Example: var xhr = api.createEngineHttpRequest(); xhr.open('GET', 'http://example.com/ovirt-engine/api', true); xhr.setRequestHeader('Accept', 'application/json'); xhr.send(null); Since REST API persistent session mechanism currently relies on cookie (JSESSIONID), individual UI plugins should not try to create a REST session on their own to avoid any clashes. Regards, Vojtech

Packaging: Rationale for some split packages
by Milan Zamazal 25 Jan '16

25 Jan '16

I work on inclusion of Vdsm into Debian. I don't know what are the reasons for having separate `infra', `xmlrpc', `yajsonrpc', and `jsonrpc' packages. Could you please provide rationale for having each of those packages, separated from `vdsm' and `vdsm-python'? I need to put proper explanations into package descriptions so that the users know whether they should install/remove those packages or not. Thanks, Milan
