FOSDEM‘19 Virtualization & IaaS Devroom CfP
by Sandro Bonazzola 22 Oct '18

22 Oct '18

We are excited to announce that the call for proposals is now open for the Virtualization & IaaS devroom at the upcoming FOSDEM 2019, to be hosted on February 2nd 2019. This year will mark FOSDEM’s 19th anniversary as one of the longest-running free and open source software developer events, attracting thousands of developers and users from all over the world. FOSDEM will be held once again in Brussels, Belgium, on February 2nd & 3rd, 2019. This devroom is a collaborative effort, and is organized by dedicated folks from projects such as OpenStack, Xen Project, oVirt, QEMU, KVM, and Foreman. We would like to invite all those who are involved in these fields to submit your proposals by December 1st, 2018. About the Devroom The Virtualization & IaaS devroom will feature session topics such as open source hypervisors and virtual machine managers such as Xen Project, KVM, bhyve, and VirtualBox, and Infrastructure-as-a-Service projects such as KubeVirt, Apache CloudStack, OpenStack, oVirt, QEMU and OpenNebula. This devroom will host presentations that focus on topics of shared interest, such as KVM; libvirt; shared storage; virtualized networking; cloud security; clustering and high availability; interfacing with multiple hypervisors; hyperconverged deployments; and scaling across hundreds or thousands of servers. Presentations in this devroom will be aimed at developers working on these platforms who are looking to collaborate and improve shared infrastructure or solve common problems. We seek topics that encourage dialog between projects and continued work post-FOSDEM. Important Dates Submission deadline: 1 December 2019 Acceptance notifications: 14 December 2019 Final schedule announcement: 21 December 2019 Devroom: 2nd February 2019 Submit Your Proposal All submissions must be made via the Pentabarf event planning site[1]. If you have not used Pentabarf before, you will need to create an account. If you submitted proposals for FOSDEM in previous years, you can use your existing account. After creating the account, select Create Event to start the submission process. Make sure to select Virtualization and IaaS devroom from the Track list. Please fill out all the required fields, and provide a meaningful abstract and description of your proposed session. Submission Guidelines We expect more proposals than we can possibly accept, so it is vitally important that you submit your proposal on or before the deadline. Late submissions are unlikely to be considered. All presentation slots are 30 minutes, with 20 minutes planned for presentations, and 10 minutes for Q&A. All presentations will be recorded and made available under Creative Commons licenses. In the Submission notes field, please indicate that you agree that your presentation will be licensed under the CC-By-SA-4.0 or CC-By-4.0 license and that you agree to have your presentation recorded. For example: "If my presentation is accepted for FOSDEM, I hereby agree to license all recordings, slides, and other associated materials under the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 4.0 International License. Sincerely, <NAME>." In the Submission notes field, please also confirm that if your talk is accepted, you will be able to attend FOSDEM and deliver your presentation. We will not consider proposals from prospective speakers who are unsure whether they will be able to secure funds for travel and lodging to attend FOSDEM. (Sadly, we are not able to offer travel funding for prospective speakers.) Speaker Mentoring Program As a part of the rising efforts to grow our communities and encourage a diverse and inclusive conference ecosystem, we're happy to announce that we'll be offering mentoring for new speakers. Our mentors can help you with tasks such as reviewing your abstract, reviewing your presentation outline or slides, or practicing your talk with you. You may apply to the mentoring program as a newcomer speaker if you: - Never presented before or - Presented only lightning talks or - Presented full-length talks at small meetups (<50 ppl) Submission Guidelines Mentored presentations will have 25-minute slots, where 20 minutes will include the presentation and 5 minutes will be reserved for questions. The number of newcomer session slots is limited, so we will probably not be able to accept all applications. You must submit your talk and abstract to apply for the mentoring program, our mentors are volunteering their time and will happily provide feedback but won't write your presentation for you! If you are experiencing problems with Pentabarf, the proposal submission interface, or have other questions, you can email our devroom mailing list[2] and we will try to help you. How to Apply In addition to agreeing to video recording and confirming that you can attend FOSDEM in case your session is accepted, please write "speaker mentoring program application" in the "Submission notes" field, and list any prior speaking experience or other relevant information for your application. Call for Mentors Interested in mentoring newcomer speakers? We'd love to have your help! Please email iaas-virt-devroom at lists.fosdem.org with a short speaker biography and any specific fields of expertise (for example, KVM, OpenStack, storage, etc.) so that we can match you with a newcomer speaker from a similar field. Estimated time investment can be as low as a 5-10 hours in total, usually distributed weekly or bi-weekly. Never mentored a newcomer speaker but interested to try? As the mentoring program coordinator, email Brian Proffitt[3] and he will be happy to answer your questions! Code of Conduct Following the release of the updated code of conduct for FOSDEM, we'd like to remind all speakers and attendees that all of the presentations and discussions in our devroom are held under the guidelines set in the CoC and we expect attendees, speakers, and volunteers to follow the CoC at all times. If you submit a proposal and it is accepted, you will be required to confirm that you accept the FOSDEM CoC. If you have any questions about the CoC or wish to have one of the devroom organizers review your presentation slides or any other content for CoC compliance, please email us and we will do our best to assist you. Call for Volunteers We are also looking for volunteers to help run the devroom. We need assistance watching time for the speakers, and helping with video for the devroom. Please contact Brian Proffitt, for more information. Questions? If you have any questions about this devroom, please send your questions to our devroom mailing list. You can also subscribe to the list to receive updates about important dates, session announcements, and to connect with other attendees. See you all at FOSDEM!

Hi, The previous regression was resolved and we now have a new regression. I don't think that the reported change is related so can someone from ovirt-engine take a look? The failure is add host on the upgrade suite.

[VDSM] running tests locally
by Vojtech Juranek 19 Oct '18

19 Oct '18

Hi, beginner question: I'm trying to run some VDSM tests locally (e.g. blocksd_test.py), using PYTHON_EXE=python3 ./run_tests_local.sh storage/blocksd_test.py but I'm getting quite a lot of test failures. Most of the tests fail because of mokeypatch fixture is not injected (see error bellow). What I'm doing wrong and how I can run selected tests locally? Thanks in advance Vojta ERROR: storage.blocksd_test.test_meta_size_max_val ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/nose/case.py", line 197, in runTest self.test(*self.arg) TypeError: test_meta_size_max_val() missing 1 required positional argument: 'monkeypatch'

[action required] install ovirt-engine-ui-extensions for "migrate" button and dashboard
by Greg Sheremeta 18 Oct '18

18 Oct '18

Hi, To proof-of-concept moving features from GWT to react, we moved the "migrate" functionality in admin portal from GWT to ovirt-engine-ui-extensions [1]. We also moved the dashboard there and dropped ovirt-engine-dashboard. Please install this new project in your dev environment and then follow the installation instructions in the README [2]. You can skip this in your dev environment if you don't need the dashboard or migrate.

[PTHREADING] No build for ppc64le and s390x, text fail on x86_64
by Nir Soffer 17 Oct '18

17 Oct '18

After adding Victor to jenkins whitelist, CI started to test https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/94974/ But we have only x86_64 jobs. This kind of project must have jobs for all platforms. The last maintainer was Yaniv Bronhaim, so I guess nobody remember why we have only x86_64 builds. I hope someone can help to move the project to new stdci and add ppc64le and s390x builds. While I was writing this the build completed with this failure: 00:01:01.195 ========== Running the shellscript automation/check-patch.sh 00:01:01.204 ./automation/check-patch.sh: line 3: tox: command not found This worked when I added tox for fedora 25. Looks like we need a simple patch to get tox on el7/fc28. Nir

VDSM API schema inconsistencies
by Marcin Sobczyk 16 Oct '18

16 Oct '18

Hi, when I was working on BZ#1624306 it turned out, that even if I'd fix the help-printing code in vdsm-client, there's still a lot of inconsistencies in API's schema files. After some investigation, I found that there's a code for reporting schema inconsistencies, but it's turned off because it bloats the logs. There's also a "strict" mode that raises an exception each time an inconsistency is found, but it's also off because there's so many of them. I think that no one wants to maintain both: the actual code and schema files. My idea would be to make the schema derived from the code at build time as a long-term effort. Before we can do that though, we need to address the inconsistencies first. https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/q/status:open+project:vdsm+branch:master+topic:v… This is a series of patches that helps fixing schema issues. What it does, is it adds a bunch of information from stack to vastly ease the process of fixing them. The logging level is also changed from 'WARNING' to 'DEBUG'. Here's an example of a logged entry: Host.setKsmTune With message: Required property pages_to_scan is not provided when calling Host.setKsmTune With backtrace: [ [ "_verify_object_type", { "call_arg_keys":[ "merge_across_nodes", "run" ], "schema_type_name":"KsmTuneParams" } ], [ "_verify_complex_type", { "schema_type_type":"object" } ] ] To make it work, a patch for OST's 'basic-master-suite' is on the way that switches 'schema.inconsistency' logger's logging level do 'DEBUG'. That way, we can find all reported errors in 'vdsm-schema-error.log' files. An initial report that groups reported errors by namespaces/methods has also been made. Please note, that an implementation that completely avoids error duplicates is really hard and IMHO not worth the effort.
