One of the nice new features is glusterfs support. For it intended use it works well but I personally think it needs to be adjusted to for more generic use. The 2 main limits that effect me are. 1) Only oVirt nodes in the same cluster can be used as bricks to create clusters. So you can't add in storage only nodes in the same oVirt cluster as nodes. However you can create a cluster of just gluster only nodes. the long term plan would be dynamic clusters/services - a subset of hosts with gluster, a subset of hosts with virt, some with both, in overlapping clusters. a more simple solution to this would be just allowing to specify at host level if to use the host for gluster service and/or virt service (so still same set of hosts in a cluster, just allowing to choose if they are to be used for the relevant service). A host level option would fix the issue. 2) You can not change what interface / IP gluster uses, it will always use the ovirtmgmt network. This is a weakness as many people have an independent network just for storage and they can't use them with 3.1. sorry, i don't understand this one - only the management of gluster is done via this interface. you can define a different logical network in the cluster for storage, configure ip addresses for them, and define the mount point that way. (well, apart from potential bugs on network definitions in 3.1 which may still exist) Unless I am missing something if I setup Gluster to use anything other then the ovirtmgmt network then I can't create volumes because the engine uses the ovirtmgmt networks IP's and Gluster doesn't recognize it. If you can live with these limits then gluster intergration is for you. Before we start you should ask yourself whether you want to use glusterfsover NFS or posix (Native) fs. Both work and are very simlilar in setup but they do work slightly differently. Many prefer the native version and if you are using Fedora 17 with it latest kernal then native (posix) fs actually supports direct IO that will increase the throuput a lot. However I found on CentOS 6.2 nodes NFS ran faster because NFS shares are cached. My testing was over a 1G networks so a faster network will yield different results. Both install methods are pretty much the same I will add notes on there differences. cache is supposed to be only relevant to read only images like templates, and i'm not even sure this optimization is in. so caching is supposed to be disabled (otherwise, shared disk won't work, etc.) maybe something else? NFS is faster on my network. When I looked around to see why it suggested that reads were cached. It was real world testing you never know. A quick word about OS. While there are plans to support EL6 and other Linux based distributions, support is currently limited to Fedora 17. However Andrey Gordeev ( http://www.dreyou.org/ovirt/ ) has created EL6 packages. Since Fedora 17 crashes on both my Dells every 10 to 12 hours I use the centos builds right now. Although the CentOS builds work really well there are a few missing features, such as live snapshots. I have done both installs and the steps outlined below work for both. very nice! ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Hello, I don't run currently any oVirt deployement in production but I have a lab. I used to run in production the old oVirt product (in rails). My best wishes for the future release of oVirt are : * GluserFS support as many of us * Nova (OpenStack Hypervisor) driver support ( http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/selecting-a-hypervisor.html ). I choose oVirt because my first goal is to manage a virtualized datacenter with OSS. But we begin to look at private cloud deployement. I think Aeolus would work with oVirt virtualization backend but AFAIK it only support redhat based linux which is not possible for us as we run Aelous has a RHEVM/oVirt driver that works today. If there are problems getting Aeolus working with oVirt we should dig into it, there shouldn't be any issues. almost only debian server except for virtualisation layer. So we would like to deploy OpenStack but to rely on oVirt for KVM hypervisors. Out of interest what are you getting from OpenStack that you don't get from oVirt * Fully supported stateless ovirt-node Regards, Romain 2012/6/28 Robert Middleswarth rob...@middleswarth.net On 06/15/2012 06:23 AM, Dave Neary wrote: Hi, On 06/13/2012 04:28 PM, Dave Neary wrote: So - how are you using oVirt? Why did you choose it over alternatives? What do you like about it? and what would you like to see change, whether that is in terms of technical, process, or marketing changes? I'm here to help, but to do so I need your help first! Thank you to all those who have replied, on and off list, so far. For those of you who sent me private messages, I'll be (anonymously) collating your feedback and forwarding it on. The range of users who have replied so far includes: * Sysadmin at small web hosting business * Cost-sensitive IT department of an unrelated industry That would be me. * Hosting provider specialising in HA * Running a private cloud * Test lab set-up considering for production deployment Well no one should be crazy enough to go live with a product they haven't at least ran inside a testing lab. And the top features you've cited are: * Stateless hypervisor * Ability to migrate VMs Number one reason I am working with oVirt * RHEL and KVM We are a debian based org so changing over to the RHEL based OS's is more a pain then a benefit. KVM is still kinda young compared to both Xen / Vmware it seems to work well but there aren't as many os's covered by the vitro drivers and there seem to be more bugs / race conditions but that has been steadily changing as it has been getting more mature * Cost * The ability to have your preferred OS as both hypervisor and guest as a first class citizen * Aimed for data center use-case rather than cloud This would be number 2 in the list. And the top gaps you've identified so far: * Insufficient resources (docs) to help with production deployment on ovirt.org * Difficulty of configuration and getting started * You'd like to see a more diverse contributor community * Stability (unfortunately, I don't have any concrete examples of this from the commenter) * History on resource usage in hypervisors and guests * Integration with Gluster * Offer choices of guest agents with other distributions than RHEL I could have created this list myself. I have hit pretty much every one of these limits in the last few months working with the project. 3.1 adds limited support for Gluster and ovirt seems to be more stable dispute F17 instability. As for the question of stability the file storage system in 3.0 can be a bit unstable. If your NFS share disappears for a few mins the file system tends to go offline and wont reactivate. Not sure about iscsi or FC since I don't have access to those file systems. This is all giving me great insight into who's here - please keep it coming!

Re: [Users] Getting some 3.1 screencasts
On 07/05/2012 01:11 PM, Dave Neary wrote: Hi everyone, At the team meeting today Jason Clift suggested that it would be great to have some screencasts for the 3.1 release. I agree. So let's see if we can make some! To spread the load as much as possible, here's what I propose: 1. We come up with a set (5-10) of demo stories we want to tell in the wiki. These should contain: * The feature we want to demo * The before recording set-up that needs to be done * The steps to demo the feature * A quick script that someone can follow to explain what they're doing. I'd like a few of these scripts to be for existing oVirt features (say, migrating a VM to a different node) and a few to be for features which are new in 3.1 (see the release notes at http://ovirt.org/wiki/Release_Notes_Draft for details there, we should pick one or two nice visible features like all-in-one install). How are we going to decide on these features we want to demo? Also some of the features like Glusterfs integration might be to complex for a 5 to 10 min video. 2. From the scripts, we record the demos as .ogv using RecordMyDesktop or GNOME Shell's built-in desktop recording 3. Finally, we do voice-overs to add a sound track to the demo (and if we have any skilled sound engineers, some tasteful CC licenced background music would be great!) This way, we've broken down the creation of 5 screencasts into 15 different byte-sized tasks - script, video, voiceover - none of which should take someone more that 20 minutes or half an hour - which hopefully will make it easier to get them done together. How does this plan sound? Sounding like a good overview now it is time to get into the mud and figure out how to implement that. If it sounds good, which features do you think we should screencast as top priority? Well I think you have already hit one of the most useful ones. 1) VM migrations Other simple idea that might make useful video's are. 2) The Log Collector (engine-log-collector), Maybe even showing the creation of a BZ report? 3) Uploading ISO (engine-iso-uploader), May be a little simple but we could combine with getting the ISO for windows drivers? 4) How to upload images (engine-image-uploader) or Migrating from another system using something like virt-v2v / virt-p2v 5) Cloning a Virtual Machine from a Snapshot. 6) Creating Templates 7) Pinning Virtual Machines to specific physical CPUs 8) Setup multiple networks showing how to activate and connecting to a hosts. 9) Adding storage domains? Building a data center? 10) Exporting VM for backup or moving to another data center. Thanks Robert Thanks! Dave. ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

I installed Maven but am not using jpackage repo for the rest of Java Thanks Robert Before Dreyou's repo I spent considerable time attempting to rebuild Fedora SRPMs in EL6 to meet all dependencies but there were numerous circular dependency issues building maven2 in EL6. This was before 3.1 and have not attempted a full dependency build since. Id be interested in knowing what other challenges exist for an EL6 release and would like to help where I can. - Trey ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
