Thank you for your prompt response.
Already tried those commands, but with no success, errors are repeated.
I do have started again with a jboss installed from zip file, maybe it
work ok.
I do have observed too, that pom.xml files do reference a variables like
${commons-collections}, that don't was initialized and, consequently,
the commands *mvn clean install -Pdep,setup* can't find the files that
they need.
Are there some configuration file that I can initialize those variables?
you are building at root folder, right?
-Pdep doesn't work with clean. it is supposed to deploy the EAR you
built the previous step iirc.
Thank you.

can you try to rule out broken unitests failing you, rather than

Not sure I follow, VM name is good, but there are all sorts of things that care about UUID changing. off the top my head I can think of - permissions - events - tags - quota Permission and Quota can be handled manually the other two won't point to 'new' VM. That is why we are looking for the ability to set it. Today it looks like all UUIDs are random, and I assume that a UUID needs to be unique, but how hard would it be to be able to specify a UUID? Libvirt allows this to be done and we do it all the time in our XML kvm files. Changing VM id does not sound like a complicated feature, when designing such a feature need to think of what are the impact on the history DB and events in the audit log (if such id was in use before). Nathan - it would be good to start by explaining if you care about the UUID as the engine sees it, or as devices and applications see it in the guest. I'm guessing you care about the guest. to do what you want, would rquire decoupling the uuid as used by engine to identify the guest, from the one vdsm exposes to the guest. today the entire chain (including libvirt) uses the same uuid. That was my first reaction when reading that: Not sure that you want to break that, it will require more mapping later. Assume an external monitoring tool the collects stats, if the VM has the same hardware UUID as the engine uses it will be easier to correlate the data separately from a guest agent and from the history DB. But then I've started to think that in some DR scenarios where both VMs (backup and source) are on the same engine but different clusters/sites. I think that an option to manually set the UUID of a VM is a must. So a better option would be to have HW UUID field in the VM properties where like for MACs you'll have the option to generate automatically or set manually. This mapping must be managed by the engine for use cases as I've mentioned above. ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

However in these days of my old age I don't run half a dozen chassis, skins, power supplies, hd's, mb etc... like to use virtualization hosts for my personal lab environment. Right now I accomplish this using a kvm host and virt-manager Right. We're not suggesting that you can't use oVirt in this way. You should absolutely be able to use a single physical host running Fedora 16 and on that host run both the oVirt Engine as well as vdsm, so that you can have an 'oVirt in a single box' setup. All we were saying here is that you can't use oVirt Node specifically to do the above, since it's a livecd with a stateless filesystem and contains 'just enough OS' to run virtual machines, and no where near enough OS to run a mgmt server. Now, what should be possible... is to run oVirt Node and run on that node a single VM that is not managed by oVirt Engine, and run the engine inside that VM. However in order to do this, you'd need to get past a chicken-egg issue with starting a VM on oVirt Node prior to it being registered with the oVirt Engine. I wonder if we should expose a special command/config option in oVirt Node to allow it to run a single VM so that oVirt Engine can be colocated as a VM. Anyone have any thoughts on that? I think worth opening a discussion on arch list. The real power from what I read about the ovirt road map is using native kvm, management server without the need of windows server, vmotion type clustering etc... All of that is accurate I am going to look over Doron notes. Specifically the networking. Cheers... keep up the good work.

Re: [Users] LDAP
Hey, More information on the domain infrastructure we have can be found in: http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/DomainInfrastructure (I might update it more soon, but it can give you a basic view of how the domain management in oVirt is working, and what do you need to update in order to support a new ldap provider).

Re: [Users] Is it possible to run the node and engine on the same box?

Hi Brent, ovirt-node is read-only by nature (with the exception of some configurations). This means you cannot simply install rpm's on it. Instead both vdsm and the engine core needs to be pre-built on the node. This is not trivial, as the engine core requires many packages. If we assume you're using standard Fedora to be able to install rpm's, then we come to the next set of issues; co-hosting engine core with vdsm. There are things that need to be taken care of such as- - Adding the same host as a new host into the engine will cause reboot, which is not a good thing to do to the engine core during the installation process of the host.. We are adding a flag (host property) to avoid host reboot at the end of host installation. This will be available soon and we are thinking to expose it only through the API (not in the UI). I think there are two different reboot's being discussed here: 1. reboot at end of an ovirt-node installation by ovirt node installation process (anaconda?) 2. reboot at end of configuring a full blown host (i.e., pre installed fedora), by ovirt-engine. I'm assuming perry was talking on #1. doron is talking on #2, since all-in-one is not relevant at this point for #1. 2. reb ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
