Juan, I used the repository git://gerrit.ovirt.org/ovirt-engine-sdk Commit 3c721e60ab3af3ad07e1a20bc6fdbcdbc1344df0 The test script : #!/usr/bin/python import sys from ovirtsdk.api import API from ovirtsdk.xml import params OVIRT_ENGINE_SERVER = 'server1' OVIRT_ENGINE_PORT = '8080' OVIRT_ENGINE_USER = 'admin@internal' OVIRT_ENGINE_PASSWORD = 'password' url = 'http://%s:%s' % (OVIRT_ENGINE_SERVER, OVIRT_ENGINE_PORT) api = API(url = url, username = OVIRT_ENGINE_USER , password = OVIRT_ENGINE_PASSWORD) host = 'host1' if_name = 'eth4' net_name = 'net1' nic = api.hosts.get(name=host).nics.get(name=if_name) net = params.Network(name=net_name) act = params.Action(network=net) nic.detach(act) api.hosts.get(name=host).commitnetconfig() Thanks, Itzik

[Engine-devel] vds_bootstrap.py 's residency
by Shu Ming 03 May '12

03 May '12

Hi, I am checking the VDSM and ovirt-engine workspace for "vds_bootstrap.py" file. It was found that vds_bootstrap.py file was in VDSM workspace and was packaged into vdsm-bootstrap rpm package. Also, it was found that in the host installation process, host node will try to get the "vds_bootstrap.py" from the engine server. But "vds_bootstrap.py" is not included in any engine packages. Does that mean we should install vdsm-bootstrap package into engine server? Why not package this file into engine packages instead of vdsm packages? -- Shu Ming<shuming(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com> IBM China Systems and Technology Laboratory

I wonder would a POST/DELETE idiom be more natural, if the individual usages would be pressed into service as a psuedo-OID, e.g: POST .../networks/network_id/usages HTTP/1.1 <usage id="VM"/> 201 Created Location: .../networks/network_id/usages/VM <usage id="VM" href=".../networks/network_id/usages/VM"/> -- GET .../networks/network_id/usages HTTP/1.1 200 OK Location: .../networks/network_id/usages/VM <usages> <usage id="VM" href=".../networks/network_id/usages/VM"/> </usages> -- POST .../networks/network_id/usages HTTP/1.1 <usage id="display"/> 201 Created Location: .../networks/network_id/usages/display <usage id="display" href=".../networks/network_id/usages/display"/> -- GET .../networks/network_id/usages HTTP/1.1 200 OK <usages> <usage id="VM" href=".../networks/network_id/usages/VM"/> <usage id="display" href=".../networks/network_id/usages/display"/> <usages> -- DELETE .../networks/network_id/usages/VM 204 No Content -- GET .../networks/network_id/usages HTTP/1.1 200 OK <usages> <usage id="display" href=".../networks/network_id/usages/display"/> <usages> So from each usage would appear like a first class resource from the perspective of the creation/deletion idiom. If the client providing the ID is considered inconsistent, this could be a "name" child element instead, e.g.: POST .../networks/network_id/usages HTTP/1.1 <usage> <name>display</name> </usage> 201 Created Location: .../networks/network_id/usages/display <usage id="display" href=".../networks/network_id/usages/display"> <name>display</name> </usage> Cheers, Eoghan

[Engine-devel] Naming convention in db upgrade script temporary functions
by Eli Mesika 02 May '12

02 May '12

Hi >From now on, please use the prefix __temp_<function name> for temporary functions defined in a db upgrade scripts The reasons are 1) Each time that you have to rename your upgrade script after sync with master you have to rename the function as well 2) As a result, may function are pushed with a wrong suffix (for example upgrade 03_01_0950 had a function name suffix of 08200) Since the reason for that numbering was in the first place for avoiding dropping real installed functions, now you will have just to put in a temporary function created in an upgrade script just the prefix "__temp_" Hope that this will make handling upgrade scripts more accurate and less painful. This was documented as well at the oVirt db upgrade wiki page: http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/OVirt-database-upgrade-procedure (see section 1.5 Temporary Functions in Upgrade scripts)

[Engine-devel] Fwd: Checkstyle- Webadmin & userportal localization
by Alona Kaplan 02 May '12

02 May '12

Hi, Yesterday some changes were made in oVirt's checkstyle (http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#change,3760) 1. Renaming built-tools to build-tools-root and separating it into two packages: * checksyles- for checkstyle xml files. * ovirt-checkstyle-extension- for adding new (not built-in) checkstyle checks. 2. Adding to the checkstyle.xml a new check- NlsCheck, which fails the compilation in case non-externalized strings appear in the code. [To understand more about the need of this check, see http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#change,3612] >From now on, all strings in the web-admin/user-portal java code should be one of the following: - Externalized (in case the string should be localized) - Have a "//$NON-NLS-N$" comment next to them (in case the string shouldn't be externalized, e.g. HashName of a component) If there is a non externalized string in a web-admin/user-portal java file and there is no "//$NON-NLS-N$" comment next to it, mvn compilation will fail. Note: NlsCheck is currently configured to run only on web-admin/user-portal projects. If you want NlsCheck check to run on another project, please add the following to the configuration of the checkstyle in the project's pom file: <propertyExpansion>runNlsCheck=true</propertyExpansion> Alona.

[Engine-devel] Updating ovirt engine from 3.0 to the 3.1.0 version
by Shu Ming 02 May '12

02 May '12

Hi, I built a set of ovirt engine RPM packages from near the latest ovirt engine source code. However, when I try to access the engine server with URL "http://ovirt-engine-112:80", the browser displayed a blank page without http error returned. Any clue about what is going on here? Why didn't the engine administrator home page be shown? And the packages were also installed successfully in my target system, checked this by "rpm -q -a|grep engine". I) upgraded the packages to the 3.1 [root@ovirt-engine-112 ~]# rpm -q -a |grep engine ovirt-engine-restapi-3.1.0_0001-1.8.fc16.x86_64 ovirt-engine-dbscripts-3.1.0_0001-1.8.fc16.x86_64 ovirt-engine-log-collector-3.0.0_0001-1.6.fc16.x86_64 ovirt-engine-genericapi-3.1.0_0001-1.8.fc16.x86_64 ovirt-engine-backend-3.1.0_0001-1.8.fc16.x86_64 ovirt-engine-setup-3.1.0_0001-1.8.fc16.x86_64 ovirt-engine-jbossas-1.2-2.fc16.x86_64 ovirt-engine-jboss-deps-3.1.0_0001-1.8.fc16.x86_64 ovirt-engine-config-3.1.0_0001-1.8.fc16.x86_64 ovirt-engine-3.1.0_0001-1.8.fc16.x86_64 ovirt-engine-webadmin-portal-3.1.0_0001-1.8.fc16.x86_64 ovirt-engine-userportal-3.1.0_0001-1.8.fc16.x86_64 ovirt-engine-tools-common-3.1.0_0001-1.8.fc16.x86_64 ovirt-engine-image-uploader-3.1.0_0001-1.8.fc16.x86_64 ovirt-engine-notification-service-3.1.0_0001-1.8.fc16.x86_64 ovirt-engine-iso-uploader-3.1.0_0001-1.8.fc16.x86_64 gtk2-engines-2.20.2-2.fc15.x86_64 Step II) Then I used "engine-setup" to setup the engine.

[Engine-devel] Logical network Usages collection problematic approach
by avi tal 01 May '12

01 May '12

Hi, The new design of logical network 'usages' collection came out a bit problematic or shall i say annoying. The idea is to send the entire collection elements every time a user wants to update a single usage otherwise the missing elements will be automatically removed from the collection. Example: having <usages><usage>VM</usage><usages> 1. in order to add 'display' usage to the collection i must send 'vm' as well. 2. to remove an element from the collection, i must send the entire collection without the desired element (note: in this case it is only one extra element for every update but in other cases it could be much more) The solution should be: <usages><vm>true</vm><display>false</display></usages> That way we can send a single usage having different boolean text without including the entire collection elements.
