Using Managed Block Storage (cinderlib) with a driver that supports NVMe/TCP. Lastest oVirt has the needed changes to configure this. Benny and I tested with Lightbits[1] driver in a virtualized environment. This is basically a POC that may work for you or not, or require more work that you will have to do yourself since not much development is happening now in oVirt. 2. Using the devices via multipath Legacy storage domains are based on multipath. It may be possible to use multipath on top of NVMe devices, and in this case they look like a normal LUN so you can create a storage domain from such devices. oVirt will not handle connections for you, and all the devices must be connected to all nodes at the same time, just like FC/iSCSI LUNs. You will likely not get the performance benefit of NVMe/TCP. 3. Using host devices If what you need is using some devices (which happen to be connected via be NVMe/TCP), maybe you can attach them to a VM directly (using host devices). This gives the best possible performance but no features (snapshots, backup, live migration, live storage migration, etc.) [1] https://www.lightbitslabs.com/ Nir

ovirt-system-tests

Hi, about two years ago, I used OST to setup a oVirt test/dev environment. Now I tried again, following https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-system-tests/blob/master/README.md but it fails because https://templates.ovirt.org/yum/ is unavailable. Or isn't it meant to be available for public access any more? Regards, Stephan

Minor PR submitted to clean up a 404 on the website

Hi Dev Team I'm not sure if my email made it to the list, so re-posting for the ovirt list archives site. I reported and issue and created a PR to fix it. Just a minor problem. Removed broken github link and added link to public repos by gocallag · Pull Request #3170 · oVirt/ovirt-site If someone could review/merge that would be great. I have a few others lined up, just want to get the process right. Thanks Geoff

This is a user who uses ovirt well. RHV is known as EOS June 30, 2024 I'm sending you an e-mail because I was wondering if you have any plans for ovirt to continue to be released as a new version. Thank you.

Foreman needs a release of ovirt-engine-sdk-ruby
by ewoud+ovirt＠kohlvanwijngaarden.nl 02 Feb '24

Hello everyone, Foreman is a bit late in updating Ruby to a newer version. Looking ahead we're aiming at Ruby 3.1+ but ovirt-engine-sdk-ruby doesn't compile on it. https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-sdk-ruby/pull/3 was merged in September 2022 and a request to release it was opened a year ago: https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-sdk-ruby/issues/4 The Foreman community is currently discussing dropping oVirt support: https://community.theforeman.org/t/proposal-to-drop-support-for-ovirt/36324 Is there anyone who can still perform this release, or should we proceed with removal? Regards, Ewoud Kohl van Wijngaarden
