[Users] How can remove the existing isos from engine
by Shu Ming 19 Jun '12

19 Jun '12

Hi, I uploaded several isos to engine by engine-iso-uploader. But, I found that there is no tools to remove the iso from engine or there is no option in engine to remove them. Any clue to remove them? Just remove the iso from the directory where iso domain is mapped? I think it is a bit rude to do that. Is there any graceful way to remove them? -- Shu Ming<shuming(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com> IBM China Systems and Technology Laboratory

It looks like it is possible now to create live snapshots; that is: on a running system.

[Users] Questions about ovirt engine
by Shu Ming 19 Jun '12

19 Jun '12

Hi, I created a VM in my engine. And I found that every time I run the VM after shutdown, the VM uuid was changed to a different not while the VM itself was not changed including the VM name. Why doesn't engine keep the UUID for a VM and use the UUID every time the VM starts? How can I persistent my setting to a VM with "vdsClient", like the password set by the "setVmTicket" command? -- Shu Ming<shuming(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com> IBM China Systems and Technology Laboratory

[Users] Host setup for 3.1 beta

Hi, is there a working way to add a host with the current beta code? I tried the latest node iso and also a plain Fedora 17 with the latest vdsm packages but in both cases the registration seems to succeed but the installation seems to fail. Regards, Dennis

[Users] Managing ovirt-node with Puppet - Bad idea?
by Trey Dockendorf 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

Currently I've been running all my KVM systems as standard libvirt managed hypervisors with virt-manager for creating VMs. All the setup of these systems was done via Puppet, including bridges and pool definitions. Now that I've setup my first ovirt-node I'm wondering if Puppet is appropriate on the ovirt-node. The first thing that concerned me was libvirtd was not set to start on boot after installing in the ovirt web interface, is this because the vdsmd daemon starts/stops libvirtd? Also is is it safe to manage things like vdsm.conf via Puppet or will ovirt-engine ever touch that file outside of the bootstrap process? Right now all my nodes will be bare CentOS 6.2 systems with a basic KVM / libvirt hypervisor and then vdsm. What I'm curious of is if anyone has suggestions or insight into whether or not something like Puppet should be managing ovirt-nodes. Ideally I'd like to use a bare hypervisor like RHEV-H or the oVirt-node ISO but all I have access to is the later and I'm very weary of having anywhere Fedora in my data center aside from my desktop. So far Puppet has proven useful in the process of setting up the ovirt-node prior to adding it to oVirt interface, but I'm worried something I'm enforcing will be changed by ovirt and then changed back by Puppet and break my setup. Thanks - Trey
