You can use cloud-init to provision an IP address to a machine. Or integration with OpenStack Neutron would probably allow for that too (via DHCP I imagine). Any reason why you don't just use static DHCP leases? ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

As far as my understanding goes, this is correct. In my environment at least, whenever as VM is created through the web UI it is cloned and I can delete the template. By default, the API doesn't seem to clone the disk, but this can be specified. ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

[ovirt-users] Failed migration - Migration is stuck
I'm having some issues with a couple of VMs in my cluster that cannot be live migrated between hosts. It appears to be the issue that is referenced by https://access.redhat.com/solutions/870113 and https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1159723. I currently have a dedicated 1Gbps network for migrations and have modified some of my vdsm settings so that my vdsm.conf looks like this: [vars] ssl = true migration_timeout = 600 migration_max_bandwidth = 100 max_outgoing_migrations = 3 migration_downtime = 1000 [addresses] management_port = 54321 The issue was happening before the configuration changes too. The relevant lines from my vdsm.log from the host that the VM is being migrated from: http://ix.io/xeT Has anyone been able to resolve this or come up with a workaround for this problem? I understand that it is because the migration cannot occur as fast as the changes in the VM are happening so this could be difficult to get working. Some downtime is acceptable for these VMs, so if there are further config changes that can be made which allow for more downtime then I would consider that a solution.

[ovirt-users] Using REST API to get a proxyticket
Hi all, I'm attempting to use the REST API to get a proxy ticket as BZ1181030 [0] has added support for, but I am unable to find _any_ documentation on how to use this new API call. All I've found is the git commit message in gerrit [1]. Not quite understanding how to interpret this, I've attempted to POST the following: As well as: ticket_content Both of these, and indeed using any other data I can think of, results in an NPE being logged in engine.log. I've uploaded my engine.log [2] which is produced when I POST "" to the endpoint. Is anyone able to tell me how to use this endpoint? I'm assuming I get the NPE because I'm not POSTing the correct data. The overall goal of this is to be able to embed a NoVNC console in our own web UI, this is the last piece of the puzzle for me to implement this.

[ovirt-users] Hosted engine storage "locked"
Hi, I've updated from 3.6.1 to 3.6.2 and was hoping that the issue with the hosted engine storage on FC not being imported would be solved. It managed to start the import but now my storage has been stuck in "Locked" for weeks. None of the options in the web UI are available except right click "Destroy". Is there any way to restart the import process so maybe I can keep an eye on the logs and find the issue?

[ovirt-users] [Rest API / Python SDK] Setting VM Video Type
Hi everyone, I'm looking for a method of settings the VM's video type to QXL from the Python SDK, which doesn't appear to be possible in any way. Whenever I set the graphics protocol to VNC it defaults the video type to CIRRUS. I'd like to use QXL with VNC, which is possible to set using the console's web UI. Has anyone achieved this before? Using the "SPICE + VNC" option with QXL would also be acceptable, but the API doesn't seem to accept that value for the graphics protocol.

[ovirt-users] oVirt 3.6 hosted engine VM not showing
Hello, Just installed a fresh deploy of oVirt 3.6 hosted engine and the engine VM is not displaying in the VMs tab of the web UI (and also not listed in the API response). The host that it is running on shows a VM count of 1, but the VM itself is not displayed. The engine VM used to display in 3.5 but it no longer appears to in 3.6. The storage method for the engine is the new FC if that's relevant. Unsure if this is a bug or a feature, this has been mentioned a few times in the IRC channel so it doesn't appear to just be affecting me. Seems odd that the VM count and the actual VMs list don't match up. Cheers, Ollie ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
