[Users] Italian translation for Portals
by Gianluca Cecchi 25 Feb '13

25 Feb '13

Hello, I'm available to translate the portals in Italian if it is only a matter of documentation writing and no programming involved... Let me know if it can be of any help for others. No problem if the effort merges in RHEVM portals too.. Gianluca

[Users] USB Filter editor
by René Koch 24 Feb '13

24 Feb '13

Hi, RHEV provides a tool called USB Filter editor, which is a windows utility for creating an USB pass trough policy. I haven't seen this tool available with the oVirt project. Are there any plans to release this tool with oVirt, too? As there are many guys from Red Hat on this list - can you give me some information about the use of the SQlite database used by the USB filter editor (license)? Can I create an UI plugin to have the USB filter editor available in oVirt admin portal and use the SQlite database of the Red Hat tool as a data source for the USB devices and manufacturers or is this (for historical reasons) under some proprietary license? Thanks a lot for your answers, René

[Users] Ovirt & iSCSI
by Alex Leonhardt 22 Feb '13

22 Feb '13

Hi All, I was wondering if there is a document that describes in detail how ovirt is working with iscsi and how it creates the disks, etc. etc. on the SAN / iSCSI storage ? I checked the online documentation however cant see it going into much detail. I'd also be prepared to write something up for the documenation section, but I need to get it to work and understand first ;) FWIW, this is a part 2 of a project I'm working on, now moving away from NFS and onto iSCSI (a cheap san solution). Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Alex -- | RHCE | Senior Systems Engineer | www.vcore.co | www.vsearchcloud.com |

I've seen this in the list archives, but not sure how much traction it's gained in the intervening period (or ). I've fiddled with, and had some pretty decent experiences with Guacamole: http://guac-dev.org/ An HTML(5?)-based VNC client for a browser - no client-side components needed :) Could fit in nicely with the project. Just putting it out there - J

[Users] Backup and restore procedure?
by Jonathan Daugherty 22 Feb '13

22 Feb '13

Greetings, I'm working on deploying oVirt for the first time and I need to know what needs to be backed up in order to be prepared for a system recovery. Is this documented? For the engine, so far I imagine I'd want to back up /etc and dump my postgres database; the restore procedure for both of those is trivial. For the nodes, other than /etc, I don't know what needs to be backed up or what the restore procedure is. (And backing up /etc just for this seems a bit ham-fisted.) What am I missing? Thanks! -- Jonathan Daugherty Software Engineer Galois, Inc.
