 Hi All,
 
 I have been experimenting with Ovirt 3.1 and so far most of the 
 things
 work. Many thanks indeed for this great free software! Now I am 
 facing
 an issue for accessing the remote console in User Portal from 
 windows 7
 client using IE9. I am able to login to the User Portal and access 
 the
 VM using the console button from Linux. But while I try the same 
 from a
 windows 7 machine, it is NOT working. When I click on the console
 button, it doesn't pop any window or show anything. Some of the 
 docs I
 read says that for the first time, I would be greeted with an 
 ActiveX
 warning and can install the same to get the console. But I didnt 
 get
 anything of that kind. So my questions to you all are,
 
 -- Is User Portal and Console supported on Windows platform ?
 -- If supported, is there anything  needed to be installed on the
 Windows machine from which I am trying to access the User Portal 
 ?( I
 did install spice-guest-tools-0.exe on both VM and the Windows 
 machine I
 am trying to access the User Portal)
 -- If not supported, what is the recommended way of accessing VMs 
 from
 windows clients ? I understand that the firefox spice-xpi plugin 
 is only
 for Linux.
 
 Relevant info,
 
 --OS : CentOS 6.3 64 bit
 -- ovirt-engine-setup-plugin-allinone-3.1.0-3.28.el6.noarch.rpm
 (Actually I used the repo from http://www.dreyou.org/ovirt/ , )
 -- Client from which I am trying to access: Windows 7 (32bit), IE 9
 
 Any reply would be highly appreciated and I would be more than 
 happy to
 send any further details if needed. I searched a lot for any 
 relevant
 docs for the same but could not find anything.
 
 Thanks and regards,
 Nasir

 I never said it was that specific issue, David Jaša did. May be a new one, 
 I don´t know, I´m just a poor old sysadmin who can´t give console to his 
 customers:)

Hey all!

Since recently patching our hosts, I´ve been having trouble running FreeBSD 
guests with more than one virtual core or socket. I have managed take a 
screenshot of how it looks like when it panics when booting kernel, right after 
ACPI:
http://i47.tinypic.com/2u90qrr.png

I´ve tried this with similar results using 8.2-RELEASE, 8.3-RELEASE, 
9.0-RELEASE and 9-STABLE.

If I edit the guest to have only one virtual core or socket, it boots up 
without issue.

Since noticing this, I´ve tried updating the packages one more time, thinking 
maybe it had already been fixed but no, it remains. These are the package 
versions I´m using:

so seems like you have different:
kernel
seabios
libvirt

can you please upgrade them one by one to find the culprit (I'd do in this 
order for simplicity of rollback: seabios, libvirt, kernel)


Done. Kernel is the culprit!

We have two hosts in the test system, so what I did was to first update 
seabios; test, then update libvirt; test, kernel; test on host1, where all was 
well until after booting new kernel. So I wanted to know for sure that it was 
only the kernel's blame, so on host2 only kernel was updated and afterwards the 
issue started appearing. So definitely, kernel.

PS. As I expected, downgrading the packages again failed horribly. I

that's a bit odd, looks like you already had a "local" DC in your deployment, 
shouldn't be the case of first boot.
are you booting with it, or it's happening after installation to HD?

I agree with your statement above that a single package should not override a
global system setting.  We should really work to remove as many of these from
vdsm as we possibly can.  It will help to make vdsm a much safer/well-behaved
package.

I very much like this idea.  There was a thread a while back
discussing[1] the this very idea; I was looking for a way to enable
'debugging' mode as well as a way to programatically collect debugging
info (which could include host stats, guest stats, logs and any core
files).

Certainly in such a scenario, being able to enable/disable varous
features of a debugging mode could include whether to enable core dumps
as well as where to save them on the host.

that's a bit odd, looks like you already had a "local" DC in your deployment, 
shouldn't be the case of first boot.
are you booting with it, or it's happening after installation to HD?

[Users] importing from kvm into ovirt

[Jonathan Horne]

I need to import a kvm virtual machine from a standalone kvm into my ovirt 
cluster.  Standalone is using local storage, and my ovirt cluster is using 
iscsi.  Can i please have some advice on whats the best way to get this system 
into ovirt?

Right now i see it as copying the .img file to somewhere… but i have no idea 
where to start.  I found this directory on one of my ovirt nodes:

/rhev/data-center/mnt/blockSD/fe633237-14b2-4f8b-aedd-bbf753bcafaf/master/vms

But inside is just directories that appear to have uuid-type of names, and i 
can't tell what belongs to which vm.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
jonathan

There should be a vdsm-debug-aids (or similar) to perform such changes.
Again, I don't think vdsm should (by default) modify any system width parameter 
such as this.
But I will happy to hear more views.

As problems like crashes are investigated per case and reproduction scenario.
But again, I may be wrong and we should have VDSM API command to start/stop 
storing dumps and manage this via its master...

Why, exactly? Fedora gives no such guarntees (heck, I'm stuck with an
unupgradable F16). Should we be any better than our (currently single)
platform?

If a host fills up with dumps so quickly, it's a sign that it should not
be used for production, and that someone should look into the cores.
(P.S. we have a logrotate rule for them in vdsm)

Note that we've just swapped hats: you're arguing for letting a local
admin log in and mess with system configuration, and I'm for keeping a
centralized feature for storing and collecting core dumps.

Is there an EoL statement for oVirt-3.1?
We can make sure that oVirt-3.2's vdsm installs properly with
ovirt-3.1's vdsm-bootstrap, or even require that Engine must be upgraded
to ovirt-3.2 before upgrading any of the hosts. Is it too harsh to our
vast install base?  users@ovirt.org, please chime in!

Maybe because I tend to install vdsm using `yum`, and would like it to
do The Right Thing to make the host an oVirt node. I suspect that if 
ovirt-host-deploy
proves to be easy to use, I could follow my `yum install vdsm` with
`ovirt-host-deploy`.

I don't get the joke :-(. If you mind the location, we can think of
somewhere else to put the core dumps. Would it be hard to reinstate a
parallel feature in otopi?

Re: [Users] RE : ovirt-node install hangs

[Vincent Miszczak]

For some reason I was thinking the password you provide at install time just 
concerned the installation itself, not the live env used for installation.
So you're right, I have the password :)

I'll try to give more informations soon.

Thanks.

Re: [Users] RE : ovirt-node install hangs

[Vincent Miszczak]

Installation is OK with USB.
The problem I have with USB install is when installation is finished and I want 
to use my node, the root FS (or any required FS) is not found.
So the problem I have is not related to the problem you link.
What's more my /dev/sda is not alone. I have 4 partitions : 
sda1,sda2,sda3,sda4. I'll try to boot from a live Linux to get a complete 
environment (device mapper, LVM, etc ...) to see what's going wrong because 
currently the Dracut env is very poor.

With CDROM installation, I have waited hours ( I had lunch during 
installation). No kernel panic, and sufficient time to complete.

Hi,

The installation I did from USB was targeted to hard drive.
I can see that installation creates 4 partitions (/dev/sdaX), but I don't know 
which one is the root volume, and LVM may be used. For sure I don't want to 
boot from CDROM (sr0) but from my local hard drive (/dev/???).

Regarding CDROM installation, with the version I used (the latest), I'm able to 
switch the consoles when installation hang. Does not look like a kernel panic, 
but there is a real problem.

Again, having the root account used would help, if someone can provide it...

Hi,

I have the exact same problems with the latest 2.5.5-0.1.


1.   I'm unable to install from USB stick because after installation, the 
system does not find it's root volume.

2.   Using a CDROM, the installation hangs. First time it hanged at 75%. 
Second time I tried, it hanged at 25%. No message at all, but keyboard is 
responsive (lock num, console switch).

I could try to do some debug for you. Having the root account used during the 
installation would help. What is it?

With the CDROM installation, I've tried with 2 different hard drives and the 
server was running fine with its previous OS, so no hardware issue here.
I was running the installation on a Poweredge 1950 server.

Default options? TUI install? Hardware? UEFI or legacy bios?

I always choose the troubleshooting option and then do an install with basic 
video. The only thing I changed from the default kernel boot line was the quiet 
flag.

Yes, TUI.

Hardware: this is an old MSI P35Neo MB with 4 GB RAM and a Xeon 3040. The SATA 
disk is connected to the onboard controller. The same problem occurred with an 
IDE HDD.

Without rhgb and quiet no luck at all. Tomorrow will try with a SATA PCI Card 
with a Sil chip.

I *think* this is a feature of being registered to ovirt-engine.  Once
you are registered, you can't change the network through the TUI
anymore.

If you're not registered with Engine, please elaborate a bit and I'll
try to figure out what is going on.

What you're saying makes sense. The problem I had was that my node was booting 
with DHCP and the IP changed. When I got to the engine / web administrator, my 
Host was not detected and I couldn't change it's IP, only the hostname... On 
the TUI I can't change the IP because I'm registered but can't change it also 
on the engine. Is this correct?

 >>/Karli

Thanks for sharing the documentation. Actually due to the lack of good
documentation for Ovirt, I was following RHEV guides along with ovirt
guides and hence  missed out this one. I followed the above link
exactly(well, I think so :-) ) and still I could not get it done
properly. When I click on the install plugin button using the URL
http://my_ovirt_server/spice.html from the windows 7 machine which I was
using to access the User Portal  , it is giving me a warning message by
the browser asking whether you want to install it or not (which is
expected ). But when I click to install, nothing happens. So I manually
installed using the virt-viewer exe file which I had got by extracting
the spice.cab file and I am able to access the console without any
problem. This is OK for the time being as I can access the console from
user portal after installing the ActiveX/spice plugins manually though I
would strongly prefer the deployment model whereby users can click and
install the plugins on the fly as described in the above link.

Yes,

When you get to the boot menu, hit tab and add the following to the
kernel command line:

rootpw=

To generate the hashed password, use 

openssl passwd

Hey all!

Since recently patching our hosts, I´ve been having trouble running FreeBSD

I´ve tried this with similar results using 8.2-RELEASE, 8.3-RELEASE,

If I edit the guest to have only one virtual core or socket, it boots up 
without issue.

so seems like you have different:
kernel
seabios
libvirt

can you please upgrade them one by one to find the culprit (I'd do in this 
order for simplicity of rollback: seabios, libvirt, kernel)


Done. Kernel is the culprit!

We have two hosts in the test system, so what I did was to first update 
seabios; test, then update libvirt; test, kernel; test on host1, where all was 
well until after booting new kernel. So I wanted to know for sure that it was 
only the kernel's blame, so on host2 only kernel was updated and afterwards the 
issue started appearing. So definitely, kernel.

PS. As I expected, downgrading the packages again failed horribly. I friggin' 
hate trying to downgrade, even for just a few packages, I opt-out and rather

Regarding CDROM installation, with the version I used (the latest), I'm able to 
switch the consoles when installation hang. Does not look like a kernel panic,

Again, having the root account used would help, if someone can provide it...


what do you mean if someone can provide it? you should be able to enable

Hi,

I have the exact same problems with the latest 2.5.5-0.1.


1.   I'm unable to install from USB stick because after installation, the 
system does not find it's root volume.

2.   Using a CDROM, the installation hangs. First time it hanged at 75%. 
Second time I tried, it hanged at 25%. No message at all, but keyboard is 
responsive (lock num, console switch).

I could try to do some debug for you. Having the root account used during the 
installation would help. What is it?

With the CDROM installation, I've tried with 2 different hard drives and the 
server was running fine with its previous OS, so no hardware issue here.
I was running the installation on a Poweredge 1950 server.

Hi,
yesterday I tried the new oVirt Node 2.5.3. I tried installing it
without the quiet flag but no luck. It hanged again and the kernel

Later will test without the rhgh flag.

Default options? TUI install? Hardware? UEFI or legacy bios?

I always choose the troubleshooting option and then do an install with basic 
video. The only thing I changed from the default kernel boot line was the quiet 
flag.

Yes, TUI.

Hardware: this is an old MSI P35Neo MB with 4 GB RAM and a Xeon 3040. The SATA 
disk is connected to the onboard controller. The same problem occurred with an 
IDE HDD.

Without rhgb and quiet no luck at all. Tomorrow will try with a SATA PCI Card 
with a Sil chip.





Alex

BTW, now the hostname works on 2.5.3 :-) The network configuration is
still tricky... sometimes I have an "Apply" sometimes only a "Back"
choice.

I *think* this is a feature of being registered to ovirt-engine.  Once
you are registered, you can't change the network through the TUI
anymore.

If you're not registered with Engine, please elaborate a bit and I'll
try to figure out what is going on.

What you're saying makes sense. The problem I had was that my node was booting 
with DHCP and the IP changed. When I got to the engine / web administrator, my 
Host was not detected and I couldn't change it's IP, only the hostname... On 
the TUI I can't change the IP because I'm registered but can't change it also 
on the engine. Is this correct?

 P.S. I haven't tried installing it on my SATA disk because I

 again on another one to see if I can send to you the error

No... we need it as compatibility with older engines...
We keep minimum changes there for legacy, until end-of-life.

There may be several method to tune a machine.

Hurray!

I suspect that a `git-rm vds_bootstrap/*` is pending?

Are there requests to add the components to Fedora (18, EPEL6)?
I think we should add these requests as blockers for Bug 881006 -

Yeah, qemu-kvm and libvirtd are much more stable than in the old days,
but wouldn't we want to keep a means to collect the corpses of dead
processes from hypervisors? It has helped us nail down nasty bugs, even

I'm a bit confused by the negation: I'd expect VDSM/configOverride=True

 Heh, you´re right, it does work, but only when using CentOS-Fedora/FF. The 
 problem I´m having is with Win7/IE. It does however work to get spice 
 console in the admin portal, strangely enough, but we won´t allow our 
 customers using the admin portal just to get access to their consoles. I 
 would like to have it work with Windows/IE in Userportal as well.

Absolutely. How do I set that debugging in the windows spice client?

>>/Karli

Thanks for sharing the documentation. Actually due to the lack of good 
documentation for Ovirt, I was following RHEV guides along with ovirt guides 
and hence  missed out this one. I followed the above link exactly(well, I think 
so :-) ) and still I could not get it done properly. When I click on the 
install plugin button using the URL http://my_ovirt_server/spice.html from the 
windows 7 machine which I was using to access the User Portal  , it is giving 
me a warning message by the browser asking whether you want to install it or 
not (which is expected ). But when I click to install, nothing happens. So I 
manually installed using the virt-viewer exe file which I had got by extracting 
the spice.cab file and I am able to access the console without any problem. 
This is OK for the time being as I can access the console from user portal 
after installing the ActiveX/spice plugins manually though I would strongly 
prefer the deployment model whereby users can
 click and install the plugins on the fly as described in the above link.

Thanks again,
Nasir___

Karli, could you set SPICEX_DEBUG_LEVEL environment variable to 0 (zero), try 
to connect, and look at %TEMP%\spicex.log that the connection values are the 
correct ones?

[Users] [ATTENTION] vdsm-bootstrap/host deployment (pre-3.2)

[Alon Bar-Lev]

Hello All,

Preparing to ovirt-engine 3.2 the entire "vdsm-bootstrap" bootstrap was 
re-written from scratch into more pluggable and flexible implementation, 
available at git master and nightly snapshots.

As far as packaging is concerned there are now two more dependencies to 
ovirt-engine:

 * otopi -- oVirt Task Oriented Pluggable Installer/Implementation
 * ovirt-host-deploy -- oVirt host deploy tool

These packages replace the legacy vdsm-bootstrap package that was distributed 
with vdsm.

Git repositories are available at at[1][2].
Documentation is available at Git repositories - README*.
Builds are available at usual place[3].
Bugzilla components will be available shortly.
Change log is attached.

There is no change in the way the engine is performing the host deployment 
process in term of user experience, other than event log messages during 
deployment were improved.

The log of the deployment is fetched from host and stored at engine machine at 
/var/log/ovirt-engine/host-deploy, on host it is at /tmp/ovirt-host-deploy*.log 
and deleted when fetched to engine.

Among other features, the ovir-host-deploy package can be installed manually on 
host and executed to prepare host for installation, in future we may be able to 
add host to engine without performing the deployment process, for now it will 
be usable for integration tests.

The internals are completely different, instead of having 3 different bootstrap 
sequences:
 1. host install
 2. ovirt-node install
 3. ovirt-node approve

We now have single sequence which is common to host and node installation or 
re-installation, end result is much simpler implementation.

Please report any issues even minor issues, so we can stabilize it for 3.2 
release.

Best Regards,
Alon Bar-Lev.

Change Log

 * offline packager feature.

 * tuned is installed with virtual-host profile.

 * initial implementation based on otpoi.

 * implementation is based on legacy vdsm-bootstrap pacakge functionality.

 * legacy-removed: legacy VDSM (<3.0) config upgrade.

 * legacy-removed: change machine width core file
  # echo /var/lib/vdsm/core > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern

 * legacy-removed: kernel version test, package dependency is sufficient.

 * legacy-removed: do not add kernel parameter processor.max_cstate=1
   warn if not have constant_tsc
   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=770153

 * legacy-change: io elevator scheduler set in kernel command-line
   use either udev rule in vdsm package or tuned.

 * legacy-change: vdsm libvirt reconfigure
   vdsm is reconfigured with file based trigger instead unsupported systemd
   init.d parameter.

 * legacy-change: distribution checks are simpler based on Python platform,
   minimum:
   - rhel-6.2
   - fedora-17

 * legacy-change: minimum vdsm version is taken from engine not hard coded.

 * legacy-change: pki is now using m2crypto to generate certificate request
   and parse certificates.

 * legacy-change: use iproute2 instead of python ethtool to avoid another
   dependency for host name validation.

 * legacy-change: use iproute2 instead of reading /proc/net/route for route
   information and interface information.

 * legacy-change: do not use vdsm.netinfo for vlan and bonding as it requires
   /usr/share/vdsm modules, and it is trivial anyway.

 * legacy-change: use vdsm-store-net-config script to commit network config
   instead of internal duplicate implementation.

 * legacy-change: /etc/vdsm/vdsm.conf is overridden unless VDSM/configOverride
   environment is set to True

 * legacy-change: /etc/vdsm/vdsm.conf is not read of fake_qemu.
   set VDSM/checkVirtHardware environment to False to avoid hardware detection.

 * legacy-change: following gluster packages not installed:
   - glusterfs-rdma
   - glusterfs-geo-replication

Heh, you´re right, it does work, but only when using CentOS-Fedora/FF. The 
problem I´m having is with Win7/IE. It does however work to get spice console 
in the admin portal, strangely enough, but we won´t allow our customers using 
the admin portal just to get access to their consoles. I would like to have it 
work with Windows/IE in Userportal as well.

[Users] RE : ovirt-node install hangs

[Vincent Miszczak]

Hi,

The installation I did from USB was targeted to hard drive.
I can see that installation creates 4 partitions (/dev/sdaX), but I don't know 
which one is the root volume, and LVM may be used. For sure I don't want to 
boot from CDROM (sr0) but from my local hard drive (/dev/???).

Regarding CDROM installation, with the version I used (the latest), I'm able to 
switch the consoles when installation hang. Does not look like a kernel panic, 
but there is a real problem.

Again, having the root account used would help, if someone can provide it...

Hi,

I have the exact same problems with the latest 2.5.5-0.1.


1.   I'm unable to install from USB stick because after installation, the 
system does not find it's root volume.

2.   Using a CDROM, the installation hangs. First time it hanged at 75%. 
Second time I tried, it hanged at 25%. No message at all, but keyboard is 
responsive (lock num, console switch).

I could try to do some debug for you. Having the root account used during the 
installation would help. What is it?

With the CDROM installation, I've tried with 2 different hard drives and the 
server was running fine with its previous OS, so no hardware issue here.
I was running the installation on a Poweredge 1950 server.

Default options? TUI install? Hardware? UEFI or legacy bios?

I always choose the troubleshooting option and then do an install with basic 
video. The only thing I changed from the default kernel boot line was the quiet 
flag.

Yes, TUI.

Hardware: this is an old MSI P35Neo MB with 4 GB RAM and a Xeon 3040. The SATA 
disk is connected to the onboard controller. The same problem occurred with an 
IDE HDD.

Without rhgb and quiet no luck at all. Tomorrow will try with a SATA PCI Card 
with a Sil chip.

I *think* this is a feature of being registered to ovirt-engine.  Once
you are registered, you can't change the network through the TUI
anymore.

If you're not registered with Engine, please elaborate a bit and I'll
try to figure out what is going on.

What you're saying makes sense. The problem I had was that my node was booting 
with DHCP and the IP changed. When I got to the engine / web administrator, my 
Host was not detected and I couldn't change it's IP, only the hostname... On 
the TUI I can't change the IP because I'm registered but can't change it also 
on the engine. Is this correct?

I remember during RHEV 3.0 beta cycle you had dedicated forum access

[Users] SOLVED: Recovering VMs when the engine is lost

[Joern Ott]

Hello Itamar and Ayal,

I tried to recover the VMs by using the first method (converting the master 
into an export domain) but after the changes, I couldn't add the export domain 
as it was "an incompatible version". Therefore I explored the other way of 
restoring:
- First, I copied the master/vms folder from the master storage  to my local 
host (and renamed al the .ovf to .xml so I can double click them and view them 
in an xml browser on my stupid Windows)
- As we store the ovirt NFS export folder on /data/ovirt, I connected to all 
nodes and moved the $UUID folder from /data/ovirt to /data/old.
- I added all the cpu nodes and NFS storages to the new cluster
- I recreated the virtual machines based on the xml files in the specs and our 
internal vm specifications with exactly the same MAC address (we specify our 
own) and disk sizes, having the disks residing on the same storages as the old 
disks
- Looking at the xml file of the new VMs I figured out the folders and file 
names of the new disks and then moved the old disks over:
cd /data/ovirt/$UUID/images/$FOLDERUUID
mv /data/old/images/$OLDFOLDERUUID/$OLDDISKUUID ./$DISKUUID
mv /data/old/images/$OLDFOLDERUUID/$OLDDISKUUID.meta ./$DISKUUID.meta
mv /data/old/images/$OLDFOLDERUUID/$OLDDISKUUID.lease ./$DISKUUID.lease
- After doing this, the new VM starts nicely using the disks with all the 
content on them

Of course, you can also choose other storages for the new disks, but then you 
have to rsync -avS the sparse files over to the new storage and this takes 
hours for 600G disks.

Caveats: There were a few machines I actually created from a template. In the 
XML files for those machines, we had the wrong MAC addresses for the nics. I 
assume, that these were the ones generated during the template clone and not 
the final ones I set after cloning the VMs. But as we have nice host 
specifications as yaml files for every host, I was relying more on them than on 
the XML.

In the end, it took me around 3 minutes of manual work to recreate the vm, move 
the disks over and start the vm. Automating that with a bit of yaml and xml 
parsing magic and recreating the VMS automatically via script could lead to 
recreating a vm in under 1 minute (except when moving disks from storage to 
storage).

Kind regards
Jörn

[Users] Native USB redirection does not work - (remote-viewer) did not claim interface 0 before use

Hi,

I receive the following errors when I attempt to use native USB redirection in 
RHEV 3.1 beta. It's
a smart card reader I am attempting to redirect into a virtual Windows 7 x64 
machine.

Is this a known error?

I've also posted this message to the spice-devel list. Not sure which list is 
the correct list for
this issue.

One more note:

I recommend to use Debian /wheezy/, because of the kernel version.

[Users] From rhcs qemu to oVirt: suggestions?

[Gianluca Cecchi]

Hello,
I currently have in place a CentOS 6.3 based rhcs cluster composed by
threee nodes.
There are several VMs configured as services in RHCS.
I would like to migrate and test oVirt and get some suggestions.
I originally planned to converto to F17 based oVirt 3.1 nodes, but now
I see that there are builds for CentOS 6.3 too.
So what are your suggestions? Can I post bugzillas and ask questions
if I try CentOS 6 instead of F17?
Is this repo generally kept in sync with F17 based one?
I would like then to setup a sort of "production ready" infra for a
small non profit organization.
Another question: what would be the best workflow to migrate these
Qemu/KVM virtual machines I have to an oVirt based infra?
Can I export in some OVF way and then import in oVirt?
I see that irt-v2v in my CentOS 6 has libvirt and rhev as export methods.
I don't know if rhev is suitable for oVirt too...

Currently my installed versions on CentOS 6.3 systems are:
virt-v2v-0.8.7-7.el6_3.x86_64
gpxe-roms-qemu-0.9.7-6.9.el6.noarch
libvirt-python-0.9.10-21.el6_3.6.x86_64
libvirt-client-0.9.10-21.el6_3.6.x86_64
qemu-img-0.12.1.2-2.295.el6_3.2.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.295.el6_3.2.x86_64
libvirt-0.9.10-21.el6_3.6.x86_64
seabios-0.6.1.2-19.el6.x86_64
sgabios-bin-0-0.3.20110621svn.el6.noarch
vgabios-0.6b-3.6.el6.noarch

It is this bug, and it affects 32 bits environments:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/852037

It has already been fixed.

To workaround it edit the
/usr/share/ovirt-engine/service/engine-service.py file, look for the
line containing UseCompressedOops and just remove it. Then restart the
engine.

Hi All,

I have been experimenting with Ovirt 3.1 and so far most of the things
work. Many thanks indeed for this great free software! Now I am facing
an issue for accessing the remote console in User Portal from windows 7
client using IE9. I am able to login to the User Portal and access the
VM using the console button from Linux. But while I try the same from a
windows 7 machine, it is NOT working. When I click on the console
button, it doesn't pop any window or show anything. Some of the docs I
read says that for the first time, I would be greeted with an ActiveX
warning and can install the same to get the console. But I didnt get
anything of that kind. So my questions to you all are,

-- Is User Portal and Console supported on Windows platform ?
-- If supported, is there anything  needed to be installed on the
Windows machine from which I am trying to access the User Portal ?( I
did install spice-guest-tools-0.exe on both VM and the Windows machine I
am trying to access the User Portal)
-- If not supported, what is the recommended way of accessing VMs from
windows clients ? I understand that the firefox spice-xpi plugin is only
for Linux.

Relevant info,

--OS : CentOS 6.3 64 bit
-- ovirt-engine-setup-plugin-allinone-3.1.0-3.28.el6.noarch.rpm
(Actually I used the repo from http://www.dreyou.org/ovirt/ , )
-- Client from which I am trying to access: Windows 7 (32bit), IE 9

Any reply would be highly appreciated and I would be more than happy to
send any further details if needed. I searched a lot for any relevant
docs for the same but could not find anything.

Thanks and regards,
Nasir

Too bad there´s still the bug in UserPortal that forgets to pass on the address 
to which the console should connect, so it won´t work any way...

Hey all!

Since recently patching our hosts, I´ve been having trouble running FreeBSD 
guests with more than one virtual core or socket. I have managed take a 
screenshot of how it looks like when it panics when booting kernel, right after 
ACPI:
http://i47.tinypic.com/2u90qrr.png

I´ve tried this with similar results using 8.2-RELEASE, 8.3-RELEASE, 
9.0-RELEASE and 9-STABLE.

If I edit the guest to have only one virtual core or socket, it boots up 
without issue.

maybe it had already been fixed but no, it remains. These are the package

Oh the fun of downgrading...pass:) But it just so happens that we have another 
ovirt system running, apart from the production system, that may be less 
patched. I´ll check and see if there´s any difference there. Is there any data 
you wish me to share, like logs or something while testing? Or just yay/nay?


if we identify the offending package, and versions, easier to report the 
regression and ask to fix it


So yay/nay it is! Thanks.
