building ovirt-shell on debian
by Sven Kieske 12 May '14

12 May '14

Hi, I'm currently writing a little howto for people who use debian based systems so they can benefit from ovirt-shell. after installing all dependencies easy_install ovirt-shell seemed to work. However I got one error which I'd like to get fixed: Building against libxml2/libxslt in the following directory: /usr/lib /usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/dist.py:267: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'bugtrack_url' warnings.warn(msg) Adding lxml 3.3.4 to easy-install.pth file Maybe someone could assist me with that? In general it would be cool especially for development tools like sdks and the cli if they are available prepackaged not just for RHEL derivatives as it would pretty much speed up the distribution of oVirt itself and attract more devs if they can use their environment without needing to setup fedora/centos. I'll therefore try to forge a deb package in my very little spare time. any help would be appreciated. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Regards Sven Kieske Systemadministrator Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co.

Question about node migrations and hooks
by richard.seguin＠marisec.ca 10 May '14

10 May '14

Good morning, I have two questions. 1. Is there a way to make hooks so that they apply to all instances and templates? rather than setting one at a time? 2. I believe I already have the answer to this, however I just want to be sure that there isn't a better way. I have a ovirt node that basically uses NFS for everything (data and ISOs), and it is slow as heck to get an instance to build. I'm using a 100MB switch, I have a feeling that this needs to be upgraded... Software wise though, is there anything I can do to speed up template deployments to that node? Thanks, Richard Seguin

[ANN] oVirt 3.4.1 Release is now available
by Sandro Bonazzola 08 May '14

08 May '14

The oVirt development team is pleased to announce the general availability of oVirt 3.4.1 as of May 8th 2014. This release solidifies oVirt as a leading KVM management application and open source alternative to VMware vSphere. oVirt is available now for Fedora 19 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 (or similar). This release of oVirt includes numerous bug fixes. See the release notes [1] for a list of the new features and bugs fixed. The existing repository ovirt-3.4 has been updated for delivering this release without the need of enabling any other repository, however since we introduced package signing you need an additional step in order to get the public keys installed on your system. Please refer to release notes [1] for Installation / Upgrade instructions. For Fedora 19 users, a known issue may cause installation failure due to recent changes in sos package. Please refer to release notes [1] known issues for resolving on your system. A new oVirt Node and oVirt Live ISO will be available [2].

Custom Properties code duplication
by Lior Vernia 08 May '14

08 May '14

Hello, While adding network custom properties towards oVirt 3.5, I got to take a good look at the custom properties code in the backend and frontend. It seems to me like there's a lot of code duplication, and I would like to suggest the following refactoring: 1. Remove dependencies on Pattern/Matcher and ApacheCommons methods from *CustomPropertiesUtils.java, to make them compilable with GWT, and move these utilities to the common package. The usage of the said methods is minimal and could easily be replaced with String methods, etc. 2. Modify KeyValueModel to delegate to the common utilities instead of duplicating code, e.g. for validation. 3. Move some validation, which is relevant to all custom properties (e.g. duplicate keys), from specific utils (e.g. VmPropertiesUtils) up to the shared CustomPropertiesUtils. 4. Optionally change the implementation of custom properties members in entities (e.g. VM) from String to Map<String, String>, which would obviate the need for different conversion methods between String/Map - (de)serialization would only be required in DB interaction. The main argument against this would be that the frontend is to be moved over the REST, and might not be written in Java much longer anyway. However, to my understanding, there's some time until these changes take effect. And even if the frontend is to be written in JavaScript, at least initially the existing frontend code will have to still be used somehow (e.g. auto-translated to JavaScript). That is to say, this refactoring might still be beneficial for the not-so-short term. Before going through with this, I wanted to ask for your thoughts and to hear any specific objections to the proposed changes. Yours, Lior.
