As for Ubuntu/Debian guests, there were some bugs in Debian packaging of
ovirt-guest-agent that have been recently fixed by the Debian
maintainer.  I think ovirt-guest-agent package is unchanged in Ubuntu,
so the updated version should work there.

As for Ubuntu/Debian hosts, it's more complicated.  The supporting
libraries for Vdsm are available as Debian packages although they
probably need to be updated to current upstream versions.  The major
problem is Vdsm itself.  I tried to make it working on Debian, but it's
not an easy task, some things work and some don't (e.g. the networking
setup is different on Debian based systems).  Currently Vdsm is not
usable on Debian, more fixes are needed.  If anybody is interested in
that work, I can provide more information.

As for Engine, I don't know about any plans to make it running on Debian
or its derivatives.  One can run Engine in a VM or a container so there
is no real motivation to port it to systems other than CentOS or RHEL.

Definitely! :-)

Hello,

you will enter hell when you try to achieve it on Ubuntu at least in a
setup using glusterfs and also LVM with thinpool.

I tried hard to do it on 14.04.x since I'm an Ubuntu fan and went to
centos 7 after a lot spent hours.

Bye

Milan Zamal is working on porting to Debian. He may give you some more
updated information.

Probably not. There are a lot of difference between CentOS/RHEL &
Ubuntu/Debian in this regard - paths like /etc/sysconfig and similar that
it expects. You can run Ubuntu VMs, of course, which is why you found the
guest utilities. If you want Debian-backed KVM solution you can look to
Proxmox

This makes sense. But, do either of these components work on Ubuntu,
and, if so, how well?

Thanks for any information.

oVirt is the upstream source project for RedHat Enterprise Virtualization
(RHEV). As expected, its only supported on CentOS 7 (and older versions on
6)

[ovirt-users] oVirt and Ubuntu>=14.04?

2016-10-20 Thread Jon Forrest 

I've done some looking around to find the status of oVirt running on
Ubuntu 14.04 and later. I found the announcement of the
ovirt-guest-agent for Ubuntu but I see nothing about the oVirt
Engine on Ubuntu. Given that KVM works fine on Ubuntu, I'm curious
what's preventing all of oVirt from working on Ubuntu.

Cordially,
Jon Forrest
