vdsm hosts clock sync
by Shahar Havivi 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

Hi, I want to add a new feature that reports migration actual downtime (the time that the VM was inaccessible to the user). Libvirt reports that information but the vdsm hosts need to be in sync by clock time. I can measure the ping for NTP server an report back to the user if the ping is too long (more then ~100ms or so) - a way to do that is via ntpstat shell command. The NTP delay can be report back via vdsStats and can be performed every few hours or so. Anyone knows of a better way that we can sync between hosts? Thank you, Shahar Havivi.

Failing patch because of wrong documentation generation
by Sagi Shnaidman 06 Apr '15

06 Apr '15

hi all we have a failing jenkins job because of problematic patch: https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/39186/ 1) First of all there were no added package dependencies, that caused to job to fail on all platforms: http://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/ovirt-engine-sdk_master_create-rpms_merged/212/ but this could be solved by my patch: https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/39569/ 2) Secondly, the python-sphinx module on el6 has a very early version with different command name for document generation and this causes to fail on el6: http://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/ovirt-engine-sdk_master_create-rpms_merged/217/ So the patch should be reverted and rewritten and tested before it's merged on all platforms. Also you can see that nobody has reviewed this patch and this is a main root cause to such problems. This is always better to have the patch to be reviewed by anybody, otherwise it makes all Gerrit process completely useless and pushes problems forward instead of locating them on early stages. -- Thanks

oVirt Translation

Hello! I would be interested to know how people can contribute to oVirt by providing translations of interface. I tried to look at the Zanata project (https://translate.zanata.org/zanata/project/view/ovirt) but I didn't find out how I can start translating. Any guidelines? Thank you!

Should I open a bug to have something back-ported on f20 libvirt or should we explicitly require virt-preview repo for oVirt 3.5.2 as we are doing for master? ciao, Simone

oVirt Glance repository

Hi, not sure about who's maintaining the oVirt Glance repository, but I see Fedora 19 32-Bit (6975f6e) Disk 797 MB CirrOS 0.3.1 (73786f4) Disk 12 MB CentOS 6.5 64-Bit (7df3c30) Disk 1 GB Fedora 19 64-Bit (865bfac) Disk 858 MB Neutron Appliance (CentOS 7.0) - IceHouse-2014.1.1-3 (960d964) Disk 682 MB Fedora 20 Project Atomic Image (a62ba67) Disk 847 MB CentOS 6.5 64-Bit Docker (b485e50) Disk 1 GB I really think it should be refreshed with more recent distributions to be useful. -- Sandro Bonazzola Better technology.
