[Users] New website live! Feedback welcome
by Dave Neary 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Hi everyone, The new oVirt website is now live! http://www.ovirt.org We have made some changes to the infrastructure (the website is now running on MediaWiki: http://www.mediawiki.org on Red Hat's Platform as a Service offering OpenShift: https://openshift.redhat.com) and also to the look and feel. There is a new theme, designed and laid out by Garrett Lesage, some new content to discover, and best of all, since the entire website is now a wiki, it will be much easier to maintain over time. We have been careful to ensure that all of the old website links redirect to appropriate pages on the new site. If you find any dead links, or redirects which do not make sense, please let us know! And as the site has had limited exposure up to this point, we are happy to hear your feedback on things you like, and things we can improve. Thank you all for your support, assistance and understanding throughout this process! Regards, Dave. -- Dave Neary - Community Action and Impact Open Source and Standards, Red Hat - http://community.redhat.com Ph: +33 9 50 71 55 62 / Cell: +33 6 77 01 92 13

[Users] Question about: Host swap percentage is above the defined threshold.
by Daniel Rowe 30 Nov '12

30 Nov '12

Hi I currently have a one node ovirt setup I am migrating VMs to. I have reached a point where trying to start new VMs I get: Error while executing action: Cannot run VM. Host swap percentage is above the defined threshold. - Check your configuration parameters for Host Swap Percentage. Adjusting the BlockMigrationOnSwapUsagePercentage setting seems to do nothing. The node does have lots of free RAM and is current sitting at 68%. The node is a full fedora 17 minimal install and does have a large swap partition on fast 15k SAS disks and 48gig of RAM. So why is changing the BlockMigrationOnSwapUsagePercentage not doing anything and how do it get more VMs running? I need to over commit a bit but will be adding a new identical node to spread the load once I get all the VMs off the machine I am migrating from. I also notice the "Shared Memory" value is 0% why is this so? Do I need to set something to get same page sharing? Thanks for any advice. Regards Daniel

This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --------------enig8F85CD4F38FF911CC4D671DD Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable This outage is now over. The wiki is writeable again, redirects of old content to new locations are working, and you should be able to go about reading, writing, creating, and collaborating. Enjoy the new look&feel: http://www.ovirt.org There are a lot of small components making *.ovirt.org run, it's fairly certain we've missed something. If you see anything wrong, broken, or confusing a, you can drop by IRC, email infra(a)ovirt.org, or file a ticket here: http://fedorahosted.org/ovirt Thanks to everyone for making this migration happen. It's going to be nice not having to manage the platform for these non-core-technology components. The Infra team will be able to focus a bit more on the deeper parts of the oVirt infrastructure of participation. In particular, thanks to: * Garrett Lesage lead the effort to improve not only the look&feel of the ovirt.org website, but to reconsider the user experience. He worked on making the top-level of the site show what the technology is, what the project is, and what you can download and do here. He took on the challenge of making MediaWiki look good for all the user classes - casual browser through to regular contributor. (And thanks especially for saving the front page this week when we realized we didn't have the desired video content and feed widgets available.) * Dave Neary focused on taking the framework of the new site and breathing life in to it with content pages, redirects, MediaWiki extensions, and so forth. He worked on troubleshooting our transfer details, tracking project details and progress, and generally beating on parts until he hammered them in to shape. Thanks also to Jason Brooks, who took advantage of the tradition of IRC to just get involved in what was happening. Jason helped troubleshoot and fix some of the transfer details, such as http rewrite rules. Overall, I've been pleased with the transparency and accessibility of the process. I hope others feel the same, but regardless of how you feel, your feedback is very appreciated. Thanks - Karsten On 11/29/2012 01:02 PM, Karsten 'quaid' Wade wrote: > This outage is now starting.
