Hi Alexandru,

just to note my question was for the post 3.2 version, as 3.2 is 
basically done.




Although some of you use spice instead of VNC, as I am an Ubuntu user on
my desktop and laptop, spice protocol is not working withing my OS; even
if I tried to build it from source, search unofficial deb packs or
convert if from rpm packages. I know spice is strongly supported on the
Fedora community, but I, myself on the server side work on RH Enterprise
and Centos, but as for desktop use, I have a very hard time make the
spice plugin for firefox to work.

Therefore for my solution I had setup a VNC reflector + some shell
automation to make it work between 2 different subnets (one inside and
one outside) -- this, somehow, adding to the initial scope.

This would have been much more easier to have a VNC proxy inside the
ovirt engine function, from where to make the necessary setups and
assignments of the console to each VM, or even though I might sound
funny to make a solution as vrde on Vbox, because works damn great and
it's easy to setup or change.

Last question, If I might ask, when is the 3.2 planned to be released
(aprox)


last update was here:

Siggi,

   Great idea is running this oVIrt-engine to two or more vm's in to oVirt,
example:

   * Install 2 nodes or more and running oVirt-engine provisory in laptop,
for example, after create 2 vm's HA for permanent engine virtualized and HA.

  Only suggestion.

   As far as my knowledge reaches, I believe the engine off does not
interfere with us, or you will lose HA and other resources, and if we all
just outside the world: D so the engine will not help much, I think, good

Re: [Users] What do you want to see in oVirt next?

[Joern Ott]

Hey Sigbjorn,

I currently use a cluster of two management nodes with a classical 
corosync/pacemaker/drbd setup which also provides DNS, DHCP, TFTP, all 
repositories we need to install our VMs and the central configuration 
management.
We have a failover IP  (and hostname) and our cluster makes sure that all 
databases/services which need to be kept together are running on one host.

However, setting up something like this is a quite complex process, so having a 
postgresql cluster (at least with postgres 9+) is not too difficult to set up 
and then having a redundant engine cluster would be a perfect solution.

 For me, I'd like to see official rpms for RHEL6/CentOS6. According to
 the traffic on this list quite a lot are using Dreyou's packages.


 I'm going to second this strongly! Official support would be very much
appreciated. Bonus points for supporting a migration from the dreyou
packages. No offense to dreyou, of course, just rather be better supported
by the official line on Centos 6.x.


 EL6 rpms are planned to be delivered with 3.2 GA version, and nightly
builds from there on.
 hopefully we can push it to 3.2 beta.

 Moran.



 Better support/integration of windows based SPICE clients would also be
much appreciated, I have many end users on Windows, and it's been a chore
to keep it working so far. This includes the client drivers for windows VMs
to support the SPICE display for multiple displays. More of a client side
thing, I know, but a desired feature in my environment.

 Thanks for the continued progress and support as well!

[Stephen Spencer]

I would like to see export domains deployable to a SAN volume.   I had to
fiddle with various bits that had nothing to do with the problem for about
an hour before I realized the nfs service on the host designated for
hosting the exports NFS volume was not enabled.   The lesson for the
version I'm working with now (3.1) is to disconnect the export domain when
it's not in use, but it would be useful if it were mobile (or at least not
a deal-breaker for hypervisors that are trying to rejoin the cluster)

Re: [Users] What do you want to see in oVirt next?

[Karli Sjöberg]

A general +1 for every point basically. Very good and thought through points. 
The ones I like the most are:

* Spice client- and plugin for Firefox on Windows and Ubuntu
* Preferrably working through both Admin- and User(customer) portal;)
* Guest Agent for Windows. Most of our VMs are Win2008- and R2, 2012's are 
coming too.
* Host Profiles would be a time saver
* Resource Pools
* Clone VM's
* Resizing VM disks from GUI
* Upload ISO's from GUI
* Integrate virt-v2v into GUI
* Edit VM settings before import

Also I would like to make a wish of my own:
* Time-share scheduling.
- The ability to rent out resources available only during N window of time 
for different groups of users. Our users tend to only need resource capacity in 
batches, crunching their numbers or whatnot during an intence period of time 
and can be quiet for a while, then come back for some more. That´s why I would 
like to see an interface where we as an organization could pool together our 
metal into oVirt and then together sit down and schedule it so that everyone 
gets their pice of the cake, so to speak. E.g. Group X rents 64 vCPU's and 4TB 
RAM from 20130601 to 20130801, during which time they are guaranteed those 
resources, and then those machines will expire and be automatically deleted, 
freeing up those resources again. Something like that would make collaboration 
between our different groups much easier.

Hi,

First of all thanks for starting this discussion.

My feedback is mainly based on RHEV, as I'm using RHEV in our company
and on customer side. oVirt is cool as I can see what new features next
RHEV version may/will bring and what issues other users have with this
technology.

What I like:
* web based UI
* KVM as it brings the highest virtualization performance on the market
* RHEL/Fedora as a hypervisor for more flexibility
* tags and bookmarks with search filters - great for big installations
* server and desktop virtualization can be done with one gui
* open source of course ;)
* hook scripts - sooo cool!
* rest-api
* user portal - some of our customers use this as a basic cloud tool for
providing vms and self-provisioning features with accounting using
postgresql database

What I would like to see in future release in oVirt and after testing in
RHEV (most of these points are based on customer feedback, too, who
bought RHEV or where we had at least a pre-sales appointment):

* Spice-XPI for Firefox on Windows (and maybe Ubuntu):
I know it's a lot of work to build it for every new firefox version, but
providing it for Firefox LTS would be a really good start. At the moment
Internet Explorer ist required for full use of admin und user portal (or
VNC has to be used).

* ovirt-guest-agents for major Linux distributions:
- openSUSE
- SLES
- Ubuntu
- Debian

* Virtualize ovirt-engine on ovirt hosts
I know that this would require major changes due to how oVirt works
(libvirt and vdsm), but nearly every customers is asking: why can't I
install my hypervisors, create a vm for RHEV manager and configure the
environment then (in the same way as it is possible with VMware)?

* Make ovirt-engine more Enterprise ready
Compared with VMware (sorry for always comparing it with VMware, but
it's the market leader and it has many nice features which would be
great in oVirt/RHEV, too) oVirt required more tasks done on command line
or via API/Shell/GUI as features are missing in the web GUI:

- Deploy network configs on all hosts
When creating a new logical network in a Cluster it has to be created on
all hosts before it can be used. It would be great if this could be done
automatically (except for rhevm/spice/storage-networks where an IP
address of each host is required). The workflow could be:
+ create new logical network
+ click on deploy button
+ create ifcfg-files on hosts
+ make ifcfg-files persistent on ovirt Nodes
+ bring interface up
+ check if interfaces are up
+ make logical network Operational if deployment was successful on all
hosts

- Configure ovirt hosts from GUI
It would be really an improvement if all settings of the TUI (like DNS,
NTP, syslog, kdump, admin and root passwords, hostname,...) could be
configured in ovirt-engine gui, too (in hosts tab). Plus including
changing multipath.conf in Web GUI would be very nice.

- Create host profiles
Storing all configuration settings of the TUI and host tab (without ip
addresses for sure) in a profile would make changes easier and speed up
deployment of new hypervisors. I'm thinking of:
+ create a profile which contains e.g. DNS, NTP and admin passwords
+ link profile to hosts
+ change DNS in profile
+ in hosts tab you can see that there are changes between the profile
and the hosts
+ bring host in maintenance mode
+ sync profile (and maybe reboot host)
When installing new hosts (via CD or PXE) the profile can be used to
automatically configure the host without

[Rick Beldin]

Several topics come to mind:

- cleaner work-flow in creating and associating storage, especially NFS

- better error reporting from engine back to admin user during admin operations.

- the ability to have users access consoles of virtual machines whereever
  they may be.  I think it should be expected that limited access data centers
  will be everywhere, from complete NAT'd environments to some with external
  firewalls that limit some ports.   This should be part of engine and
  hypervisor installation, and transparent to the end user.

Hi,

Firstly, thanks for all the great work on oVirt in 2012.

What I haven't seen mentioned yet is any Open vSwitch or Openstack 
Quantum integration. This would help scale oVirt even further.


I've seen a POC already out there http://www.siliconloons.com/?p=179

Hi all,

What I like:


  Its open!
  both "thin" oVirt node and "fat" Linux+VDSM.
  Browser based GUI, Firefox supported.
  Spice console works just fine!

What I really would like to include in the coming releases:


  Option to resize disk in user interface and CLI.
  
  Import, upload, raw and qcow2 images from the web gui and CLI.
Importing VMDK (vmWare) would be nice as well.
  Upload ISO from the web gui.
  What about exporting raw and qcow2 images (and convert to
vmdk)...
  
  Option to disable "This Browser version isn't optimal for
displaying the application". Ater 10 times it gets anoying.
  
  Better recovery for the ISO and export domains. Currently, if
I keep my export domain connected a crashing server might cause
problems. After creating a new server en reconnecting the old
export or iso domain, it will say "it is allready connected to
another domain". The export domain is such a nice way to backup
important templates and virtual machines :)
  
  Multiple ISO domains.
  Both export and ISO domains on local storage, iSCSI, CIFS etc.

Looking forward to the new release!

Re: [Users] What do you want to see in oVirt next?

[Johan Kragsterman]

Hi!There are many promising features in oVirt, but still I feel it is just "promising", not for production.The most critical issue for me, that is preventing me from using oVirt in production, is the "single point of failure" of the engine. I wouldn't want the struggle of setting up a new engine, and all the hazards that brings, in a production environment, in the case of an engine failureSo, some sort of clustered engine, or master/slave, or whatever can solve this situation.Perhaps one of the reasons this is difficult is because of the integration of both admin portal and user portal? Then I believe it was a mistake to combine them, and that it would be better to split them.Rgrds JohanOp 03-01-13 17:08, Itamar Heim schreef:

Re: [Users] What do you want to see in oVirt next?

[Alex Leonhardt]

Easier import of existing Nodes back into a new oVirt Engine would be great
- it's a complete mess at the moment (if one doesnt have a backup) - I'm
looking at this from VMware users point of view, with them, all you need to
do is point it at a server and it'll  import everything that's already
there - oVirt should have the same capabilities / with some confirmation
screens that it belongs to another storage domain, etc. etc. and if one
wants to force it, but it should still be possible ...

 I'd like to see a spice client for Mac - i know of various ports but
 as of now on 10.8 i have to use VNC which is not ideal. I now spice
 != ovirt however they are very linked at this time.
 
 What do you mean? a client or a browser plugin?
 

i suppose ideally both - a browser plugin would be great as then interaction

Re: [Users] What do you want to see in oVirt next?

[Koch (ovido)]

Hi,

First of all thanks for starting this discussion.

My feedback is mainly based on RHEV, as I'm using RHEV in our company
and on customer side. oVirt is cool as I can see what new features next
RHEV version may/will bring and what issues other users have with this
technology.

What I like:
* web based UI
* KVM as it brings the highest virtualization performance on the market
* RHEL/Fedora as a hypervisor for more flexibility
* tags and bookmarks with search filters - great for big installations
* server and desktop virtualization can be done with one gui
* open source of course ;)
* hook scripts - sooo cool!
* rest-api
* user portal - some of our customers use this as a basic cloud tool for
providing vms and self-provisioning features with accounting using
postgresql database

What I would like to see in future release in oVirt and after testing in
RHEV (most of these points are based on customer feedback, too, who
bought RHEV or where we had at least a pre-sales appointment):

* Spice-XPI for Firefox on Windows (and maybe Ubuntu):
I know it's a lot of work to build it for every new firefox version, but
providing it for Firefox LTS would be a really good start. At the moment
Internet Explorer ist required for full use of admin und user portal (or
VNC has to be used).

* ovirt-guest-agents for major Linux distributions:
- openSUSE
- SLES
- Ubuntu
- Debian

* Virtualize ovirt-engine on ovirt hosts
I know that this would require major changes due to how oVirt works
(libvirt and vdsm), but nearly every customers is asking: why can't I
install my hypervisors, create a vm for RHEV manager and configure the
environment then (in the same way as it is possible with VMware)?

* Make ovirt-engine more Enterprise ready
Compared with VMware (sorry for always comparing it with VMware, but
it's the market leader and it has many nice features which would be
great in oVirt/RHEV, too) oVirt required more tasks done on command line
or via API/Shell/GUI as features are missing in the web GUI:

- Deploy network configs on all hosts
When creating a new logical network in a Cluster it has to be created on
all hosts before it can be used. It would be great if this could be done
automatically (except for rhevm/spice/storage-networks where an IP
address of each host is required). The workflow could be:
+ create new logical network
+ click on deploy button
+ create ifcfg-files on hosts
+ make ifcfg-files persistent on ovirt Nodes
+ bring interface up
+ check if interfaces are up
+ make logical network Operational if deployment was successful on all
hosts

- Configure ovirt hosts from GUI
It would be really an improvement if all settings of the TUI (like DNS,
NTP, syslog, kdump, admin and root passwords, hostname,...) could be
configured in ovirt-engine gui, too (in hosts tab). Plus including
changing multipath.conf in Web GUI would be very nice.

- Create host profiles
Storing all configuration settings of the TUI and host tab (without ip
addresses for sure) in a profile would make changes easier and speed up
deployment of new hypervisors. I'm thinking of:
+ create a profile which contains e.g. DNS, NTP and admin passwords
+ link profile to hosts
+ change DNS in profile
+ in hosts tab you can see that there are changes between the profile
and the hosts
+ bring host in maintenance mode
+ sync profile (and maybe reboot host)
When installing new hosts (via CD or PXE) the profile can be used to
automatically configure the host without providing all settings via boot
options + configure all networks, custom multipath.conf,... Host profile
should be used for full RHEL/Fedora hosts as well.

- Update RHEL/Fedora Hypervisors from GUI
It would be nice if Fedora hosts could be updated from the ovirt-engine
GUI like the ovirt Node. Running yum check-update on host and displaying
notice if there are updates available.

- Implement resource pools
At the moment only Quotas are available (which is great, btw), but in
some cases it's necessary to implement resource pools. E.g. Limit CPU,
Memory and Network for group of test vms, but give full resources to
production vms. This could be done with cgroups.

- Clone vms
I'm missing the possibility of cloning vms without creating a template. 

- Resize disk in GUI
Increasing the size of a disk would help a lot. At the moment I create
new disks and put it into volume group on vm, but resizing would be
nicer in some cases and will reduce the number of disks.

- Upload ISOs within the GUI to ISO domain

- Integrate virt-v2v into oVirt GUI
It would be cool if VMs could be Migrated from other systems within the
GUI using virt-v2v as a backend.

- Edit settings of vms before importing them
Most the of the settings like disk type (IDE/VirtIO), nic but also vm
type (server/desktop) and access protocol (Spice/VNC) can't be edited
withing oVirt/RHEVM GUI before importing them. These settings can only
be changed by editing the xml directly. Disk type and nic is risky of
course, but working for most Linux

another called Intel (for the xeon).
Now I would like to move a guest from the AMD machine to the Intel

I'm not aware that you can't.

To move the guest I need to edit the guest and than I can change the

I assume the solution for this could be a generic cluster definition.
Something with a limited/specific cpu set equal to the qemu

Re: [Users] What do you want to see in oVirt next?

[Shu Ming]

1) I would like to have the ability to import an existing VM image from 
outside as a template into oVirt, then new VMs can be cloned from this 
template.
2) I would like to have an oVirt trial package based on nested-kvm. This 
package will contain several vdsm node images, one engine image and one 
storage several image. After the package is installed into a physical 
server, the images can be started as VMs including the engine, the VDSM 
nodes, the storage server. The VDSM nodes must support nested-kvm to 
have nested VM on them. It is very quick and simple for a new-comer to 
try the oVirt envionment.

I'd like to see a built in VNC console that is java or a Spice java
console, something that runs cross platform, OS X, Windows, Linux etc...

  Dear Itamar,
 
 
 My dreams for oVirt 3.2:
 
 
 1) Packages CentOs 6.x (ovirt-engine, ovirt-guest-agent);
 2) Resize VM disk from GUI ovirt-engine;
 3) Spice for Google Chrome, this browser run in anywere O.S. and
 largest world use;

 spice-xpi 2.8 will support chrome/chromium but it will still be linux-only.

 David

 4) Show in Virtual Machines  General  ip/ip's from vm OR Virtual
 Machines  Network Interfaces  show ip;
 5) ISO upload from GUI ovirt-engine the best option;
 6) Monitoring enviroment oVirt to Zabbix and Nagios(total vms, mem
 clusters, and more...) example:
 https://github.com/dougsland/nagios-plugins-rhev
 
 
 I think this would oVirt the project to another level, much higher ...

Good/useful:  Open Source virtualization with a strong web management
interface.  Rapidly improving, too.

wish improved:  SPICE connection reliability and LDAPS support.

wish added:  native ATA-over-Ethernet SAN support.

wish removed:  Kerberos dependencies.  Let people who want Kerb have
it, but don't force it where it's not needed.  LDAP over SSL is
secure.

Many thanks to all the oVirt team for all their hard work!

For me, I'd like to see official rpms for RHEL6/CentOS6. According to
the traffic on this list quite a lot are using Dreyou's packages.

But I'm really looking forward to oVirt 3.2 (reading all those commit
whets my appetite) :)

Re: [Users] What do you want to see in oVirt next?

[Adrian Gibanel]

This is what I'm missing right now in oVirt 3.1: 

Better GlusterFS support. 
=== 
1. Add a checkbox when creating a volume: Set oVirt permissions so that the 
vdsm : kvm permissions are set. I don't want it to be per-default because I'd 
like to use Volumes tabs as a Volumes manager for Glusterfs volumes and not 
only Glusterfs volumes aimed at virtual machines. 

From: http://blog.jebpages.com/archives/ovirt-3-1-glusterized/ : 
( For now, the Gluster volume manager neglects to set brick directory 
permissions correctly, so after adding bricks on a machine, you have to return 
to the terminal and run chown -R 36.36 /data (assuming /data is where you are 
storing your volume bricks) to enable oVirt to write to the volumes. ) 

2. Add a quota tab in Volumes. So that you can enable/disable/edit its quota: 
http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Gluster_3.2:_Enabling_Quota
 
http://gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Gluster_3.2:_Managing_Directory_Quota
 

All In One (AIO) bigger timeout 
=== 
From: 
http://blog.jebpages.com/archives/up-and-running-with-ovirt-3-1-edition/ 

( I’ve found that the all-in-one installer sometimes times out during the 
install process. If the script times out during the final “AIO: Adding Local 
host (This may take several minutes)” step, you can proceed to the web admin 
console to complete the process. If it times out at an earlier point, like 
waiting for the jboss-as server to start, you should run “engine-cleanup” and 
then re-run “engine-setup”) 
and my quote: 

(Before running engine-setup you have to edit: 
/usr/share/ovirt-engine/scripts/plugins/ all_in_one_100.py 
file and edit the waitForHostUp function so that the timeout is smaller. Like 
this: 
def waitForHostUp(): 
utils.retry(isHostUp, tries=40, timeout=300, sleep=5)) 

Installation on disable SElinux 
== 
If SElinux is disabled then oVirt installation does not work. So I think that 
either is advised to use it or... it's fixed so that it works even without 
SElinux. 

All-in-one script should take care of last steps 
== 
Not sure about this last point but I think that AIO should be able to perform 
the iso domain attachment to the datacenter in itself. 
Check 5th step on: 
http://blog.jebpages.com/archives/up-and-running-with-ovirt-3-1-edition/ 

There might be more glitches but these are the most important ones for me that 
I remember of. 

Guide me help texts 
== 
One more. The Guide me dialogs are very handy. But I think they miss a little 
help on them to explain such stupid things as what's the purpose of adding an 
storage domain a datacenter.

I'm going to second this strongly! Official support would be very much 
appreciated. Bonus points for supporting a migration from the dreyou packages. 
No offense to dreyou, of course, just rather be better supported by the 
official line on Centos 6.x.


Better support/integration of windows based SPICE clients would also be much 
appreciated, I have many end users on Windows, and it's been a chore to keep it 
working so far. This includes the client drivers for windows VMs to support the 
SPICE display for multiple displays. More of a client side thing, I know, but a 
desired feature in my environment.

Thanks for the continued progress and support as well!

that the vdsm : kvm permissions are set. I don't want it to be
per-default because I'd like to use Volumes tabs as a Volumes manager
for Glusterfs volumes and not only Glusterfs volumes aimed at virtual
machines.

From: http://blog.jebpages.com/archives/ovirt-3-1-glusterized/ :
( For now, the Gluster volume manager neglects to set brick directory
permissions correctly, so after adding bricks on a machine, you have to
return to the terminal and run chown -R 36.36 /data (assuming /data is
where you are storing your volume bricks) to enable oVirt to write to
the volumes. )


This feature is available in 3.2. Enabling a checkbox to optimize 
gluster volume for oVirt will set vdsm:kvm permissions on bricks that 
are part of the volume.




2. Add a quota tab in Volumes. So that you can enable/disable/edit its
quota:
http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Gluster_3.2:_Enabling_Quota
http://gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Gluster_3.2:_Managing_Directory_Quota


Noted. We will address this in a subsequent release.

Thanks,
Vijay

It was more or less obvious the feature was going to be there because seems 
easy to implement but I couldn't check it yet. 
Great!

Cool.

As other have stated in other emails thank you for oVirt and the support you 
give in many ways.

Yes, I should have said guest drivers for spice, mixing my throughs on spice 
clients with the guest VMs themselves. Best way I can think of to describe it 
would be the ovirt equivalent of rhev-guest-tools-iso-3.0-37.noarch.rpm or 
whatever version they are on now.

spice-spice upstream has a guest tools installer that includes the inguest 
drivers - signed but not WHQL'd.

Re: [Users] What do you want to see in oVirt next?

[Alexandru Vladulescu]

Dear Itamar,


I would like to add a request for the new upper coming version 3.2 if 
possible:


Although some of you use spice instead of VNC, as I am an Ubuntu user on 
my desktop and laptop, spice protocol is not working withing my OS; even 
if I tried to build it from source, search unofficial deb packs or 
convert if from rpm packages. I know spice is strongly supported on the 
Fedora community, but I, myself on the server side work on RH Enterprise 
and Centos, but as for desktop use, I have a very hard time make the 
spice plugin for firefox to work.


Therefore for my solution I had setup a VNC reflector + some shell 
automation to make it work between 2 different subnets (one inside and 
one outside) -- this, somehow, adding to the initial scope.


This would have been much more easier to have a VNC proxy inside the 
ovirt engine function, from where to make the necessary setups and 
assignments of the console to each VM, or even though I might sound 
funny to make a solution as vrde on Vbox, because works damn great and 
it's easy to setup or change.


Last question, If I might ask, when is the 3.2 planned to be released 
(aprox)?



Cordially,
Alex.

Hii

I think a IPAM is mandatory, so that the VM can grab their IP without human
configuration.

 For me, I'd like to see official rpms for RHEL6/CentOS6. According to
 the traffic on this list quite a lot are using Dreyou's packages.

 I'm going to second this strongly! Official support would be very much
 appreciated. Bonus points for supporting a migration from the dreyou
 packages. No offense to dreyou, of course, just rather be better
 supported by the official line on Centos 6.x.
 
 EL6 rpms are planned to be delivered with 3.2 GA version, and nightly
 builds from there on.
 hopefully we can push it to 3.2 beta.
 
 Moran.
 

Great news! Thanks a lot.

Regards
Patrick

Hi, 

Deploying multiple VMs from 1 template at the same time. Currently you have to 
wait until the template image is available again.
