Re: [Users] ovirt-shell failes to connect: SOLVED!
Winfried, i see that your backend version is 3.0, the thing is that all arguments in CLI indirectly learned from the RSDL (via ovirt-engine-sdk), so parameters construction may not work properly on 3.0 as ovirt-engine-sdk build against latest oVirt engine, also to enjoy new features such as auto-completion and many other benefits of new CLI, API (i.e oVirt engine) should be latest/greatest.

[Users] Q on ovirt datacentre and host storage types
Hi, got few basic Qs in my mind. Appreciate a response. 1) Why is it that the data domains must be of the same type as that of datacentre ? What is the goal behind having this constraint ? It seems useful to have a datacentre w/o having any storage restrictions.. i should be able to add hosts w/o worrying abt the storage types... why is it not so... looking to understand the reason behind this design decision. 2) If i have a set of host systems all connected to shared FC storage, is there a way for me to configure LUNs exclusively for each host, meaning have ability to control what LUN each hosts sees ? Can this be done using oVirt today ? My understanding is that this cannot be done via ovirt, zoning of LUNs to host has to be done separately and not via ovirt, is that correct ? 3) If i have to create and run 1000 VMs (say), how can i automate that using ovirt, what is the best way to do that ? thanx, deepak ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Can this be done using oVirt today ? My understanding is that this cannot be done via ovirt, zoning of LUNs to host has to be done separately and not via ovirt, is that correct ? If I understood you correctly that is indeed not part of ovirt. You can put different LUNs in different data centers, but that won't mean a host in a cluster in one DC won't have access to a LUN defined on another DC (it won't have this access through ovirt, but this access will still be available if it was allowed in the storage controller management). All the hosts in clusters of a specific data center need access to all its storage domains. So you'd probably want to allow not only a host but a set of hosts, to access the LUN which the storage domains resides on. Same for NFS exports. 3) If i have to create and run 1000 VMs (say), how can i automate that using ovirt, what is the best way to do that ? Depends on the scenario. If you are talking about stateless VMs, based on a template, you can use VM Pools. We are also working on supporting pre-started VMs (see feature page in http://ovirt.org/wiki/Features/PrestartedVm), that will enable you to set a number on that VM pool which says how many VMs you would like to be up from the pool (I think the feature is already pushed, but not sure about that). If you want them to be separate, then IMO the best way to do so is to use the either the ovirt-CLI or the ovirt-SDK (again, depends on the exact scenario). Using it you can create VMs, run them, stop them and etc Details on that can be found in: www.ovirt.org/wiki/CLI www.ovirt.org/wiki/SDK Hope it helps, Oved thanx, deepak ___ 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 ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Re: [Users] Can someone help me with moving a windows server 2008 to ovirt?
google for virt-v2v - it's a tool that allows you to migrate from an ESX server to RHEV, it'll work with oVirt too. - Original Message - From: Dominic Kaiser domi...@bostonvineyard.org To: users@ovirt.org Sent: Wednesday, February 29, 2012 11:00:54 AM Subject: [Users] Can someone help me with moving a windows server 2008 to ovirt? So I have been looking at how to move windows 2008 and R2 servers from vmware esxi4 over to ovirt. I moved my Linux servers over with clonezilla. But windows needs a sysprep and generalize not to mention uninstalling vmtools and vmware drivers. I have done this. I then use clonezilla to put the image onto a thinprovisioned drive on ovirt. It starts to boot then blue screen of death. Am I missing something other than syspreping the windows machine and uninstalling the vmware drivers? Also is there a better way? P.S. Also I have ovirt up in a production envirenment and is running rock solid for the past month great job guys!

Re: [Users] new wiki for ovirt-engine-cli
Michael, I am interested in the ovirt-shell and I might have missed some earlier discussions. The wiki doesn't say much about how to install it. My questions are: 1. Is this part of ovirt-engine install? 2. Can it entirely replace the engine? Do you have a 'how to get started' page?

Great, let me start and get back if i land up into issues. thanks for the pointer. Let us know if you need further assistance.. This is how I plan to attack it... using vdscli, let me know if my steps are correct ? 1) Use createStorageDomain to create a SHAREDFS_DOMAIN of domTypes data iso 2) Use createStoragePool and associate the above sd's with this pool. 3) How to copy .iso into the newly create iso dom ? engine-iso-uploader won't know abt it, rite ? I would've used `cp` (chown to make sure vdsm can read it when needed). engine-iso-uploader create the needed dir structure (metadata, images, dom_md etc) and put the .iso in the right dir. Using `cp` I will have to do that myself, rite ? 4) create a volume to represent my vm disk 5) Use create to create a VM and run it Is this the recommended way ( to use individual vdscli cmds) or the way its done in http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Vdsm_Standalone ? For human-triggered setup, running vdsClient from bash may be easier. But the suggested python script is expected to take you slightly further on the road to reproducible testable application on top of Vdsm. If you have that python script working for LOCALFS, I'd suggest you try making it work for SHAREDFS too. Thanks, will try using the python script itself. When i use the script and create LOCALFS (and SHAREDFS in future) will these domains and hence VMs created on top of these domains be visible and manageable from OE side ? ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

My questions are: 1.
