Hi all,
Recently I merged the os info [1] patches. Its main responsibility is to
make our OS-bounded configuration file-based
rather than combination of hard-coded enum (VmOsType) and db config values.
What is there to configure?
* available OS types - what you see in the drop-down selection for the os
e.g os.RHEL6.name = Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
* recommended min/max memory per os
os.Unassigned.resources.maximum.ram.value = 64000
* supported network devices - this will actually set the drop-down of
nic types in new Interface dialog
os.Windows7.devices.network.value = rtl8139_pv, rtl8139, e1000, pv
* compat version values
os.Fedora12.devices.audio.value = ich6
os.Fedora12.devices.audio.value.3.2 = ac97
* inheritance - DRY :)
os.RHEL5.derivedFrom.value = RHEL4
os.RHEL4.family = linux
* cpu Arch - currently we support only x86 but this will come handy for
supporting powerPC arch or arm etc after cross-matching with the cluster
arch.
os.Other.cpuArchetecture.value = x86
The file is located at
/etc/ovirt-engine/osinfo.conf.d/00-osinfo-defaults.properties and is
symlinked to /usr/share/ovirt-engine/conf/osinfo-defaults.properties
If you want to overide the values or just add your setup more OSs just
add 10-osinfo.properties under osinfo.conf.d
Bare in mind, If you ever have to add logic against OSs pls don't add it
to vdc_options. Use the osinfo instead. Cleanups from
ConfigValues and vdc_options will soon follow as well as treatment for
custom icon images for OSs.
Thanks,
Roy
