- Ovirt management server should be able to run as a virtual machine managed by ovirt - Clustered management server, active/passive, or even better active/active - Support for additional iternal users, so monitoring and automation don't need to rely on an external source for authentication - guest agent should have the ability to configure portions of the virtual machine -- set the hostname of the virtual machine -- configure the network information for the virtual machine -- reset root password > Hi Everyone, > > as we wrap oVirt 3.2, I wanted to check with oVirt users on what they > find good/useful in oVirt, and what they would like to see > improved/added in coming versions? > > Thanks, > Itamar

[Users] F18 AIO with nightly build I don't find ISO domain
by Gianluca Cecchi 21 Dec '12

21 Dec '12

Hello, during AIO install with ovirt-engine-setup-3.2.0-1.20121217.git1e01c00.fc18.noarch I specified ISO domain not accepting default but setting /ISO Host correctly activated but no ISO domain found. I can see: [g.cecchi@f18aio ~]$ cat /etc/exports /ISO 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0(rw) #rhev installer [g.cecchi@f18aio ~]$ sudo exportfs -v /ISO 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0(rw,wdelay,root_squash,no_subtree_check) I cannot add the domain because I get: Error while executing action New Local Storage Domain: Error in creating a Storage Domain. The selected storage path is not empty (probably contains another Storage Domain). Either remove the existing Storage Domain from this path, or change the Storage path). I cannot import that domain because if I specify: Domain Function / Storage Type : ISO/NFS Use Host : local_host Export Path : f18aio:/ISO I get There is no storage domain under the specified path. Check event log for more details.

[Users] Ovirt Node rebooting +/- every 10 days

I have oVirt 3.1 with two nodes, one of them is running good without restarting the other keep restarting, the maximum uptime that the server can get is 10 days before it restart, I think that it might be something related to the disk.

Hi, am trying to use .ovirtshellrc with a set user, pass and url, however, I keep getting this instead: error: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '' and I remain disconnected. Using the same url and creds to connect manually works - is it a bug or just some setting ? Alex

It now fails in /usr/share/vdsm/addNetwork where it complaines about ConfigNetworkError: (21, 'Both PREFIX and NETMASK supplied') This host has already been an ovirt installed host. I could for testing remove all traces of ovirt but I have another host where I tried that and now it stops its networking when vdsmd starts ;-( Went ahead and removed PREFIX and reran deploy. The bridge ovirtmgmt is correctly created BUT there is an error in the log: INFO:root:Adding network ovirtmgmt with vlan=, bonding=, nics=['em1'], bondingOptions=None, mtu=None, bridged=True, options={'blockingdhcp': 'true', 'UUID': 'e121a99a-994e-479d-8de1-a56c14315545', 'USERCTL': 'no', 'DNS2': '172.19.1.18', 'DNS1': '172.19.1.12', 'bootproto': 'none', 'onboot': 'yes', 'IPV6INIT': 'no'} libvir: Network Driver error : Network not found: no network with matching name 'vdsm-ovirtmgmt' libvir: Network Driver error : Network not found: no network with matching name 'vdsm-ovirtmgmt' libvir: Network Driver error : Requested operation is not valid: cannot set autostart for transient network Looking at /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/* shows indeed there are references to vdsm-ovirtmgt. Maybe this is because I'm also using fedora-virt-preview-repo because the nightlies need a newer libvirt. Let me know if a slightly lower version of libvirt will fix this. Joop

Hi, i've read up about converting Windows VMs and it needs some "Guest Tools CD" - https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualiz… where can one get that CD/iso image and whatever else is required ? Alex
