Is it possible to use leased dedicated servers as ovirt nodes? In my mind it seems likely, but input from the community would be appreciated. I'm envisioning a controller node running on a dedicated server leased from a provider and multiple compute nodes running on several different providers spread out over the net. I don't require any migration capability for the purposes of this. I manage a large farm of servers, and if this works like I think it would, I believe it would speed up deployment of new servers and also provide a better central management platform. If this is possible, what would be the requirements, pitfalls, etc.? Thanks in advance. -- *NADA Convention & Expo*: January 24-27, 2014 - New Orleans, LA - Booth 5001 <http://www.bbb.org/south-east-florida/business-reviews/advertising-agencies…><http://www.bbb.org/south-east-florida/business-reviews/advertising-agencies…>

[Users] Attach NFS storage to multiple datacenter
by Tobias Fiebig 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

Heho, for some reason i currently have two active datacenters in ovirt 3.3 which should be cold migrated to one new datacenter. Is there a simple way to attach an nfs-storage to all datacenters, so it can be used to migrate the virtual machines? I was sadly unable to find documentation on this issue online... With best Regards, Tobias

[Users] What's the correct way to upload a VM ISO image?
by David Li 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

Hi, I am a little confused by the quick start guide. It lists a command to upload the ISO image: engine-iso-uploader upload -i local-iso-share [file1] [file2] .... [fileN] My questions are: 1. Do I have to copy the files (ISO images) from somewhere else to the engine machine before using this cmd? If image files are on a different server, what's the right syntax to upload them? 2. Is "local-iso-share" the name of the ISO domain? For example, should I use "ISO_DOMAIN" if I have the following: ISO Storage Domain Name | Datacenter | ISO Domain Status ISO_DOMAIN | DC-CPA3 | active 3. If I don't use engine-iso-uploader command, instead I prefer to uploading the image myself. What is the right directory for me to put my images in? Is it /var/lib/exports/iso on the machine running the ovirt engine? Thanks. David

[Users] iSCSI storage domain.
by Hans Emmanuel 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

Hi all, I would like to get some comparison on NFS & iSCSI storage domain . Which one more suitable for a production setup ? I am planning to use LVM backed DRBD replication . And also is that possible to expand iSCSI storage domain by simply resizing backend LVM ? -- *Hans Emmanuel* *NOthing to FEAR but something to FEEL......*

Hello, i have to create a new ovirt cluster with 3 node using gluster FS, which ovirt version do you suggest ? BTW: on ovirt.org it is not clear the actually status of version… stable, testing, beta etc… i suggest a more clear page with the indication of version status, link to release note and roadmap. thanks marco

[Users] Searching for VMs with snapshots
by noc 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

Hi All, I would like to see, in the webui, all VMs that have snapshots attached to them but I'm not able to construct a search that will work. For one thing there is no 'Snapshot' category so I think that it will be impossible. The use case is that I would like to have a way to see, in the webui, which VMs are running stateless, accidents happen :-( . Joop

[Users] [QE] oVirt 3.4.0 alpha / beta status
by Sandro Bonazzola 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

Hi, oVirt 3.4.0 alpha has been released and is actually on QA. An issue has been found in VDSM so we have updated the packages in alpha repositories for Fedora. We had an issue with nightly build for EL6 packages yesterday so EL6 repository is not yet updated. We'll try to sync it today, I'm sorry for the inconvenient. We'll start composing oVirt 3.4.0 beta on 2014-01-20 14:00 UTC from 3.4 branches. The bug tracker [1] shows the following bugs blocking the release: Whiteboard Bug ID Summary gluster 1038988 Gluster brick sync does not work when host has multiple interfaces integration 1054080 gracefully warn about unsupported upgrade from legacy releases network 1054195 [NetworkLabels] Attaching two labeled networks to a cluster result in failure of the latter There are still 280 bugs [2] targeted to 3.4.0. Excluding node and documentation bugs we still have 237 bugs [3] targeted to 3.4.0. Please review them as soon as possible. Maintainers: - Please remember to rebuild your packages before 2014-01-21 12:00 UTC if you want them to be included in 3.4.0 beta. - Please add the bugs to the tracker if you think that 3.4.0 should not be released without them fixed. - Please provide ETA on blockers bugs - Please update the target to 3.4.1 or any next release for bugs that won't be in 3.4.0: it will ease gathering the blocking bugs for next releases. - Please fill release notes, the page has been created here [4] - Please update http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_3.4_TestDay before 2014-01-23 For those who want to help testing the bugs, I suggest to add yourself as QA contact for the bug. Please also be prepared for upcoming oVirt 3.4.0 Test Day on 2014-01-23! Thanks to all people already testing 3.4.0 alpha!
