Hi, just seen a memory usage warning in oVirt's Admin Interface saying the available memory is below threshold of 1024MB - however - when I checked the host, it had still 20GB left ? See screenshot. Alex

[Users] Fedora 17 Guests for Desktop Virtualization
by Kevin Daly 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

I am trying to set up Fedora 17 guests and I've come across a problem with Spice.. It works fine with a Gnome 3 sesson, but if I try et Cinnamon or KDE4, the bottom panel is unresponsive.. You cannot click on anything in the panel, cannot configure it etc etc... With KDE4, I have configured a panel at the top, it works fine.. but if I try move it to the bottom it's dead. Any insights would be helpful. I am running vdagent and vdagentd on the Fedora guest. -- ============================ Kevin Daly

[Users] Ovirt Node install to USB stick - required 70GB disk space?
by Jure Kranjc 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

Hi, has anybody installed ovirt-node on a bootable usb stick? If the hypervisor is less than 1GB in size, why does installation require 70GB of disk space? It would be perfect to run nodes from usb without any disks. Thanks Jure Kranjc

[Users] Default compatibility version in ovirt nightly
by Gianluca Cecchi 07 Jan '13

07 Jan '13

Hello, I remember some time ago someone writing about compatibility version defaults for 3.2 that should be put to 3.2. I'm using oVirt nightly in all-in-one config as of ovirt-engine-3.2.0-1.20130101.git2184580.fc18.noarch but compatibility versions defaults are still 3.1 both for local_datacenter and local_cluster and Default Datacenter and Cluster Gianluca
