[ovirt-users] [ANN] oVirt 4.1.0 First Release Candidate is now available

[Beckman, Daniel]

I tested this on a Windows 2012 R2 (x64) DataCenter VM, newly built, on oVirt 4.0.5. 

It suffers from the same bug that’s been present since at least oVirt 3.6: The Balloon service is setup with the wrong path: 

C:\Program Files (x86)\oVirt Guest Tools\drivers\Balloon\w2k12R2\amd64\blnsvr.exe"

The correct path being:

C:\Program Files (x86)\oVirt Guest Tools\drivers\Balloon\2k12R2\amd64\blnsvr.exe"

Note the small typo: “w2k12R2” when the actual files are under “2k12R2”. The fix is much the same as before:

sc config BalloonService binpath= "C:\Program Files (x86)\oVirt Guest Tools\drivers\Balloon\2k12R2\amd64\blnsvr.exe" DisplayName= "Balloon Service" start= auto

How is it that this bug persists? Is it being actively tracked? I found reference to someone possibly having “a look” but no follow-up:

I did note one thing that appears to be fixed: the QEMU agent service is properly setup and runs (it had to be manually started in previous versions.) The oVirt and Spice services start up as expected. 

Thanks,
Daniel

    I guess it should work - briefly tested it on a 4.0 and didn't notice
    problems. Please file bugs if you find them. Thanks!
