[Users] oVirt 3.4 test day - results
by Alexander Wels 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

Hi, I tested the following items during the test day and here are my results: 1. "reboot VM" functionality The related feature page is: http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Guest_Reboot The feature page mentions a policy selection checkbox which I was unable to find in the web admin UI at all. I checked the patches that implement the feature and did not see the check box implementation. The patches did show me that all I need to use the feature was to install the guest agent on the guest. So for my test I installed a fedora guest, and I installed the guest agent on the guest. After about a minute after starting the guest, the reboot button was enabled and pressing it started the reboot sequence on the guest. I had a console open on the guest and it informed me that the admin had started the reboot process and the guest would be rebooted in a minute. I did not find a way to change the time it took for the reboot to happen. I did the same test with the REST api, with the same result. The reboot was scheduled for a minute after I issued the command. I did not find a way to change the time with the REST api either. I am guessing that is a future feature. 2. Fix Control-Alt-Delete functionality in console options I had trouble getting spice to work in my test setup, but no issues with VNC. So I tested VNC. I checked the VM console options to make sure that 'Map ctrl-alt-del shortcut to ctrl+alt+end' was checked. Then I connected to a running VM with VNC. I pressed ctrl-+alt+end expected it to issue a ctrl-alt-del to the guest. Nothing happened. I pressed ctrl-alt-del and it properly issued ctrl-alt-del to the guest. I made sure there was no issue with my client by using the menu to issue a ctrl-alt-del to the guest which also resulted in the proper action on the guest. I opened a bug for this: /https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1057763/[1] I did this test on my Fedora machine, and the description mentions that certain OSes capture the ctrl-alt-del before sending it to the guest, Fedora is not one of those OSes, so maybe my test was not valid? 3. Show name of the template in General tab for a VM if the VM is deployed from template via clone allocation. This is a very straight forward test. I created a template from a VM. I named the template. Then created a VM from that template using clone allocation. I verified that the name of the template is now properly shown in the VM general sub tab. Works as expected. Overall I had issues getting engine installed due to the shmmax issue reported in other threads, and then I had a really hard time adding new hosts from a blank fedora minimum install. I was successful one out of three attempts, which I feel was probably an yum repository issue as I was getting conflicting python-cpopen issues causing VDSM to not start. Thanks, Alexander -------- [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1057763

[Users] [ovirt-test-day-2] - testing neutron integration - remove external networks
by Omer Frenkel 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

Hi, I tested $subject, I have to say i don't know much about networks / neutron, so maybe some of the issues i encountered are just my fault.. i used pre-configured neutron server (thanks Mike!) and the beta2 for ovirt-engine, i used the wiki to configure it: http://www.ovirt.org/Overlay_Networks_with_Neutron_Integration these are the issues i've seen: 1. add provider is hidden, since 'system' node in the tree is collapsed by default, i couldn't find it, the way to add provider should at least be documented in the neutron integration wiki, i had to ask around to find it.. 2. add provider dialog: wrong tab indexing - after entering name, i clicked 'tab' to enter description, but the focus moved to the 'cancel' button [bug 1064240] this is pretty minor, but i think its basic usage issue, and probably easy fix. 3. selecting 'Subnet' sub-tab of the imported external network doest show anything, and creates an error in the engine log [bug 1064231] Other than that, i was able to create and remove the external network with no issues, we might need a better (maybe step-by-step?) documentation on configuring this, as it was not trivial (there are manual steps need to be done on the hosts..) or, even better, automating everything needed on the host side into host-deploy. Thanks, Omer.

[Users] [ovirt-test-day-2] Testing all-in-one feature on f19
by Moti Asayag 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

Hi, In the 3.4 ovirt-test-day-2 I've tested the all-in-one feature. I installed the all-in-one setup on a vm. The installation ended almost successfully, except of the vdsm service, where the the host didn't become operational due to lack of support in clusterLevel >= 3.4: Feb 11 15:51:52 localhost vdsm root ERROR VIR_MIGRATE_ABORT_ON_ERROR not found in libvirt, support for clusterLevel >= 3.4 is disabled. For Fedora 19 users, please consider upgrading libvirt from the virt-preview repository Once I created a new 3.3 DC and configured a local storage, the local host become operational and I was able to create a vm and to run it. Thanks, Moti

Hi, I've retired a host that was part of a hosted-engine setup. How do I remove this host from my hosted-engine HA setup?

[Users] Info re the "jasperreports-rpm" package
by David Young 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

Hi users, I'm not an oVirt user (yet), but while working on another project, I stumbled across: https://github.com/oVirt/jasperreports-server-rpm And found the spec file and patches which built an RPM for packaging of the JasperReports Server WAR installation. This is presumably a component of oVirt, but I'm wondering whether there's anything unique about the package, or whether it's suitable to be reused in a standard Jasper deployment. Can anybody give me any background re the package and how it's intended to be used? Thanks :) D

[Users] spice html5 - windows inverted
by Neil Schulz 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

Good Morning Everyone, I installed the Spice guest tools on my windows machine and now everything is inverted. I am unable to use the machine anymore. The biggest issue was the mouse not syncing up. That issue was solved after installing the tools, however the inverted screen kind of makes that fix pointless. Is there a fix to this? Along with that, I haven't noticed it on a Windows 2008 R2 server yet, however, I cannot use Ctl+Alt+Delete in Spice HTML5 to test it. Thank you, Neil

[Users] Spice proxy test day support
by Doron Fediuck 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

Hi all, I was testing this feature today and would like to summarize my findings; 1. Feature page http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Spice_Proxy Quite informative. Nevertheless things we should improve: - Please add a contact person in case of question / issues (feature owner?). - Detail design? Nothing mentioned with regards to the implementation. This could be in a separate page, but in such a case I'd add a link to that page. - Missing specific examples. ie- supported protocols: engine-config -s SpiceProxyDefault=http://my-ip:8080 * Did you know that http is a default if no scheme stated? All the above should make this cool feature more easy to use by non-developers. 2. Test cases - System level (using engine-config) - Cluster level - VM-Pool level For each of the above I configured a proxy, and on the proxy machine used: "nc -l 8080" to capture the traffic. In all cases things worked quite nicely. I saw incoming connection request which is what I expected for. 3. All-in-all: We have the functionality working which is the important part. Going forward we should try to improve some of the things I mentioned above. Nice work, Doron P.S. During my tests I managed to open 2 non-related bugs on engine-config and network QoS mapper (Class cast issue).

Dear all, How can I remove a iso from the iso domain? Can I just delete the image from /var/lib/exports/iso/50cf24a4-d1ef-4105-a9a5-b81d91339175/images/11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111 and expect ovirt to know the image is gone and adapt the gui and database accordenly or...? Kind regards, Koen
