[Users] What is the new home for /Wp-content/uploads missing after website migration?
To whom it may concern: Great work on website but please return back the PDF's from the old site upload directory. Someone took the time to make those. Let's keep them visible. Just couple of examples are: http://www.ovirt.org/Wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Quantum_Ovirt_discussion.pdf http://www.ovirt.org/Wp-content/uploads/2011/11/ovirt-vdsm.pdf Hat-Droids on the IRC mentioned this might be due to "Wp-content" being capitalized but either way its not wordpress anymore so what is the new home for these docs? Perhaps consider permanent 301's as I'm sure these are linked to many, many blogs, posts and other sites. roger-roger, Peter Styk ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
Re: [Users] Manage users without Red Hat Directory Server or IBM Tivoli Directory Server?
Supporting non-Kerberos LDAP with simple authentication and no DNS
integration would significantly decrease the work required for people
like Dennis. Instead of having to set up Kerberos and DNS and an LDAP
provider that integrates with both, he could just set up a very simple
LDAP server and use a physically secured network or SSL with
self-signed keys to protect his authentication traffic.
There are already LDAP servers that use simple backends, including an
OpenLDAP variant that uses /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow instead of a
db. If the requirement for Kerberos and DNS directory integration
were removed, and simple authentication worked, you would be able to
support pretty much anything out there in the linux/unix world.
That way oVirt wouldn't have to reinvent any wheels, and people like
Dennis would have significantly less costly and time-consuming
rebuilding of their networks to do before being able to implement
oVirt.

Dear Itamar,
we (German Air Navigation Services) would like to use oVirt for
testing our air traffic applications.
In our air traffic application system, there is no directory service,
since we don't need one. Consequently our test system has no
directory service too.
We differentiate only between root-users (manage the OS), air traffic
application operational-users and air traffic application
technical-users.
For three kinds of users a directory service would mean too much
overhead.
oVirt is complex enough, therefore it would be advantegous to have a
simple user-management without the need to install/configure/run a
directory service infrastructure.
Best regards
Dennis

[Users] Auto-start vms on boot?
It would seem that oVirt does not provide an standard way of forcing boot of virtual machines at boot. Pools can have pre-started vms as stated here: https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.1/html/Administration_Guide/Prestarting_Virtual_Machines_in_a_Pool.html but pools imply state-less virtual machines and I am talking more about normal virtual machines. I've found this script: https://github.com/iranzo/rhevm-utils/blob/master/rhev-vm-start.py which could do to the trick if run at host boot. I've also thought (but not tried) to mark a virtual machine as "Highly Available" even if I have only one host (I mean, usually HA only makes sense when you have two hosts). Marking a VM as H.A. would do the trick? Any special reason why there isn't and standard way of marking which vms should be auto-started at boot? Just wanted to hear your thoughts before filling an RFE. Thank you. -- -- Adrián Gibanel I.T.

This must be a recent fedora issue, as I tested this recently on vanilla fedora
18 beta dvd and it worked properly.
As long as tuned-adm is not working properly when executed manually, the
deployment automation will fail with same error.
