Re: [Users] hosted-engine rebooting in the middle of setup (was: [vdsm] [ANN] oVirt 3.4.0 Release Candidate is now available)
Sounds like your hosts were not in maintenance mode while you were upgrading the engine which explains the 2 min reboot.

There were updates from 3.4.0 beta 3. On both, got informed the system was going to reboot in 2 minutes while it was still installing yum updates. On the faster system, the whole update process finished before the 2 minutes were up, the VM restarted, and all appears normal. On the other, slower cluster, the 2 minutes hit while the yum updates were still being installed, and the system rebooted. It continued rebooting every 3 minutes or so, and the engine console web pages are not available because the engine doesn't start. it did this at least 3 times before I went ahead and reran engine-setup, which completed successfully. The system stopped restarting and the web interface was available again. A quick perusal of system logs and engine-setup logs didn't reveal what requested the reboot. That was rather impolite of something to do that without warning :) At least it was recoverable. Seems like scheduling the reboot while the yum updates were still running seems like a poor idea as well.

You have to explicitly enabled your custom property in Engine's
database.
See http://www.ovirt.org/Vdsm_Hooks#VM-level_hooks for an example how
this can be done with the engine-config utility. You could make your
users cozy by limiting their input to the likes of
{'serial': '1234'}^{'vendor': 'oVirt'}
or be lazy and allow everything
engine-config -s UserDefinedVMProperties=smbios=.*

Re: [Users] Self contained engine ETA
Hi Sandro I'm a bit confused on the storage requirements for the Self hosted engine. Some places say it requires NFS , other that i supports both GlusterFS and NFS. I'm interested in the GlusterFS option. Does hosted engine support GlusterFS on the same physical node as where the engine VM will reside(basically running both vdsm and gluster on the same physical host). If yes, can the hosted-engine --deploy create glusterfs or it has to be created manually prior and after engine install imported into Ovirt?

Re: [Users] so, what do you want next in oVirt?
Yes sure :). I'll use VMware as an example here. They have APIs presented so that VMware tools can monitor and provide application HA based on a particular application running inside the guest (can be a tomcat server or whatever app) there are some community scripts that can take advantage of this APIs but there are a few commercial software like Symantec Application HA which use a cut off version of Veritas Cluster integrated with vCenter to configure and monitor application cluster inside the VM and restart VM or the application cluster inside VM. maybe we can have a feature like that that the guest tools can provided application level monitoring and configuration of the application cluster can be integrated in the engine.
