This is a multipart message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0007_01CF3CA3.354BF560 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-2" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi I'd like to contribute (within GSOC) in idea: Gerrit add potential reviewers. Maybe at first I'll introduce myself. I'm Tomek, student from Poland. I study Computer Science at University of Wroclaw. The next year will be last year of my first degree study, I hope. As a python programmer I'm working since one year at Nokia Solutions and Networks (don't worry I intend to change my job to another or to participation at GSOC). Every day at work and school I'm using version control system (Git and SVN). At work we were using to Gerrit as a review system but currently we're using JIRA to report review statuses. I love spend my free time in mountains (mainly polish - Tatras mountains). That's all about me. I've got a few questions about project description. Please tell me if my problem's understanding is good or not. We need to add a few flags/methods to git review module. This flags should allow to add potential reviewers in gerrit. So: Let's assume that we've got special flags for this operations. What's next? 1. In gerrit system we need to add special place for potential reviewers? 2. Potential reviewers should agree that they want to review? 3. We can have more than one accepted reviewer? I know above questions might seem chaotic but I think answers allow me to better understanding Yours needments Best regards Tomasz Kolek ------=_NextPart_000_0007_01CF3CA3.354BF560 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-2" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html xmlns:v=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" = xmlns:o=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" = xmlns:w=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" = xmlns:m=3D"http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2004/12/omml" = xmlns=3D"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"><head><meta = http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-2"><meta name=3DGenerator content=3D"Microsoft Word = 14 (filtered medium)"><style></style></head><body lang=3DPL link=3Dblue = vlink=3Dpurple><div class=3DWordSection1><p class=3DMsoNormal><span = lang=3DEN-US>Hi <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=3DMsoNormal><span = lang=3DEN-US>I'd like to contribute (within GSOC) in idea: Gerrit add = potential reviewers.<br><br>Maybe at first I’ll introduce = myself.<br>I'm Tomek, student from Poland.

[Users] building engine, facing issues.
by aditya mamidwar 12 Mar '14

12 Mar '14

i installed ovirt 3.3 and i need to build the engine for my changes to backend implementation files to take place. The build engine guide on the community says that the procedure is now obsolete for my version. also git clone git://gerrit.ovirt.org/ovirt-engine doenot clone the $OVIRT_HOME/backend/manager/dbscripts. hence i cannot continue with the next steps. -- -Aditya Mamidwar

[Users] Best practice for securing oVirt's NFS mounts
by Prakash Surya 12 Mar '14

12 Mar '14

Hi, All the documentation I've seen states that the oVirt NFS storage should use the "all_squash,anonuid=36,anongid=36" options. Obviously this isn't secure, so I'm curious how others have locked down their NFS storage? Is the best option to just limit access to these NFS exports to the IP addresses of the hypervisor nodes (and maybe the engine)? Is there a better way to go about this? -- Cheers, Prakash

Hi, I try to install Windows 8 32 bit on our oVirt 3.3.2 environmet. I googled that two CPU Flags (SEP and NX) have to be set. But I cannot manipulate the CPU Flags in the GUI. Is there an other way to set the SEP and NX Flags for the VM? Best Regards, Michael

[Users] ovirt engine in high availability
by Gianluca Cecchi 12 Mar '14

12 Mar '14

Hello, I have made a base testing environment putting engine in HA. I think it could complement self hosted engine. As this could be of interest for enterprise based installations, I used CentOS 6.5 as OS environment for engine. Even if in upcoming RH EL 7 it seems corosync will substitute cman, in this 6.5 test I have used cman/pacemaker with pcs commands. The engine servers are two vSphere VMs, so I tested the configuration both without stonith and with vSphere CLi sdk and fence_vmware fenging agent. Also, as this kind of environment could be suitable for DR too, I set up the filesystem resource with drbd in active/passive. There are many possible configurations; to stick with similar environment as the standalone engine, I configured the whole stack of resources in one group, also with the nfs share for the default ISO-DOMAIN. Actually in this kind of environment it would be preferable to have a dedicated nfs resource on another ip so that it doesn't influence the ovirt-engine resource that is more critical. In the same way one could choose to put the PostgreSQL resource as a separate one, optimizing and balancing nodes' utilization. At the moment I successfully tested on ovirt-engine-3.3.3-2.el6.noarch and I have not yet configured any hypervisor hosts. I will do next days. I plan to test also upgrades to 3.3.4 and 3.4.0, to see if maintenance activity would reveal too complex and be a show stopper. In the mean time what I tested to be transparent with a client session connected to webadmin portal is: - relocation of resources - power off of the passive node - power off of the master node With transparent I mean that in the same browser window the user gets the login page (the same as when it goes timeout) and after login it gets the same situation as before. Obviously the PostgreSQL rdbms has stopped (or crashed in third case) and so problems could arise as if you stopped your db or powered off your server in single server environment. If there is interest I can post my configuration steps into a wiki page on oVirt web site (after learning the formatting syntax... ;-).. the page name could be something like "clustered_engine". In the mean time if you have any scenario I can test to verify consistency you are welcome. Gianluca

[Users] Foreman and oVirt 3.4 fails
by Andrew Lau 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

Hi, Is anyone using Foreman with oVirt 3.4? Post upgrade, I appear to be having some issues with Foreman reporting " undefined method `text' for nil:NilClass" I'm not sure if this ends up being a Foreman issue or oVirt, or it could just be my install gone bad.. however last time it was the oVirt API had been updated which caused issues with Foreman so I thought I'd post here first. Thanks, Andrew
