Hello! Apologies for the cross-post.

I didn't think it's a good idea to keep calling it bVNC given that it already contains code to build 4 different remote desktop clients. If you are an oVirt or RHEV admin, please ensure that Opaque works in your environment before recommending it to your users. Please start by reading the KNOWN ISSUES section in the description of the application. Thanks for all the feedback I received from the beta test community! I will still be releasing new features to be beta-tested before pushing them to production.

Dan's information suggest that it is still existent in 3.4.0 beta2. Maybe someone can proove it in a beta environment too and update the bug. It seems as if Ovirt does not remember timezone/clock settings of a Windows VM. As a side effect a VM may always come up with a predefined time gap until the the ntp client wil fix the time. If that gap is too large we could suffer from some unwanted side effects - ntp time sync may not work because of too high gap - kerberos authentication may fail because of too high gap Markus Diese E-Mail enthält vertrauliche und/oder rechtlich geschützte Informationen.

[Users] Best way to request a new feature?
What's the best way to request a new feature? Do we manage a Wiki page for this somewhere? Or should I just open a bug/rfe? The feature I'd like to see: It would be nice if the Admin page had an indication either on the VMs page or in the left navigation frame when everything is in place for starting VMs. Here's an example scenario to illustrate why this would be useful: Every morning I power up my Engine and Host machines. The first thing I have to do is Activate my Host, and then monitor it while it comes up, Contends and eventually assumes SPM responsibility. Then I can change to the tab with my VMs and start up the one(s) I need, and open their consoles. But I have to watch the Host tab until SPM is established, because when looking at the VMs page there's no indication whether they can be started up yet or not. Nothing unless I try to start one, and get a pop-up error. Additional useful features: Is there any way to cause a VM to automatically power on as soon as oVirt is ready to do so?

Thanks. I decided the first issue is really a bug. There should really be a different VM indication for: - Powered down, vs - System not ready to start up VMs https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1062745 I realize this is one of those gray areas of This behavior is by design while the severity of this makes it more like a flaw than a missing feature I think. You can watch the VM tab forever during oVirt host startup and never know when the VMs are actually ready to start up. I opened an RFE for auto-starting VMs once oVirt becomes ready, and auto-opening consoles for VMs at startup: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1062740 In theory this could be separated into two RFEs.

Or should I just open a bug/rfe? The feature I'd like to see: It would be nice if the Admin page had an indication either on the VMs page or in the left navigation frame when everything is in place for starting VMs. Here's an example scenario to illustrate why this would be useful: Every morning I power up my Engine and Host machines. The first thing I have to do is Activate my Host, and then monitor it while it comes up, Contends and eventually assumes SPM responsibility. Then I can change to the tab with my VMs and start up the one(s) I need, and open their consoles. But I have to watch the Host tab until SPM is established, because when looking at the VMs page there's no indication whether they can be started up yet or not. Nothing unless I try to start one, and get a pop-up error. Additional useful features: Is there any way to cause a VM to automatically power on as soon as oVirt is ready to do so? Is there any way to cause a console to automatically open up as soon as a VM is started? -Bob ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users best way is opening a BZ RFE, then promoting it via this mailing list for extra attention (well, to the lifespan of emails. worth re-trying on next version feature polling as well...) ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Re: [Users] SPICE behind NAT
Hi Andrew, Thanks for the reply. Quoting Andrew Lau and...@andrewklau.com: Just install squid proxy and port forward the 3128 port through your firewall you should be all good. Is squid installed on your oVirt box or is it on your firewall? Or did ypu srtup a seperate box ad the proxy? What you post above suggests you installed it in the oVirt machine? Here's a quick snippet from my notes: [snip] engine-config -s SpiceProxyDefault=http://public_ip_address:3128/ Ah, so the IP I put is the *public* IP on the firewall (or at least the one I am connecting to), and not the private IP of the machine Squid is installed on? -Alan ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
Re: [Users] oVirt or RHEV ?
Hi Nathanaël, Imho you need a lot of manpower to make this happen. You have to remove all Red Hat trademarks if you want to distribute it - this means remove it from RHEV-manager (engine), RHEV-H (node-image) and all Windows tools (e.g. USB policy editor, RHEV tools,...) so you not only need CentOS 6 build servers, but also Windows ones. Next you should have to support each release for 3 years which means in 2 years you maybe have to build packages for 3-6 RHEV releases - again takes a lot of time. Even if you can automate fetching, building and testing you still have to test it manually, too. I'm unsure if someone would do this work. Just speaking for me and the company I work for - RHEV and oVirt is working fine for us, so I wouldn't see much benefit of repackaging RHEV. Contributing to oVirt project with Nagios plugins, presentations, meetups,... makes more sense for us. Again just speaking about us, but I think other companies think in a same way...

I'm surprised that nobody has got this idea before. Le 06/02/2014 19:53, René Koch a écrit : Hi Martijn, That's a good question and not too easy to answer. I work as a Solution Architect and my company is selling both - RHEV and oVirt consulting and support. The reason for doing both is, that we want to give users a choice which solution fits better. The main benefits (in my opinion) of RHEV are: - Support with SLAs Red Hat provides support for RHEV with service levels. For oVirt you have to wait until someone of the developers or community members helps you on the mailing list or in IRC (or you buy support from a company with provides it). - Updates for each release for 3 years You receive for all releases (RHEV 3.1, 3.2,...) 3 years of support and updates. oVirt provides bugfix releases for the actual release (so you want get bugfix updates for 3.2 anymore, you have to upgrade to 3.3). For me this is the biggest advantage of RHEV. - Red Hat Knowledge Base Red Hat Knowledge Base is one of the best knowledge bases and it helps you greatly solving issues and gives useful tips. I use the knowledge base a lot and wouldn't want to miss it for any Red Hat product. - Stability RHEV is tested by a qa team and the releases are really stable. oVirt has newer features which are less tested. I upgrade oVirt release only to .1 releases (e.g. 3.2.x - 3.3.1), not to .0 to avoid issues. - Guest agents Guest agents and RHEV tools are packaged for RHEL and Windows guests and are working fine. When using oVirt you miss some of the functionality of Windows guest tools or have to copy it from different locations. For other os'es it doesn't matter if using RHEV or oVirt. - Application / os support You should consider if your applications and operating systems are supported in oVirt as well. All apps certified for RHEL are certified for RHEV as well. Main benefits of oVirt: - Newest features oVirt gives you the latest and greatest. So it will take some time until this feature is available in RHEV, too (due to testing). - No subscription coasts You don't have to buy subscriptions for an oVirt environment, so it saves money. But on the other hand it can also cost you more money, if you have to spend a lot of time in troubleshooting or with upgrading (especially with possible upgrading issues) or having down times of your environment. It's not too easy to say if you should use RHEV or oVirt. I hope I could help you making a decision with my explanations above. You could also have both - a RHEV setup for production vms and an oVirt setup for development and qa vms.

I have been running oVirt for about 5 months now, and I'm quite comfortable with its features and maintenance procedures. We are now planning to build a private virtualization cluster for hosting clients' applications as well as our own. Some people in the company are questioning whether we should buy RHEV, but at this point, I can't see the benefits. Can anyone on this list shed a light on when RHEV might be a better choice than oVirt? What are the benefits? The trade-offs? I am looking for pragmatic, real-world things, not marketing mumbo jumbo.

Re: [Users] SPICE behind NAT
Lots of variables here: - Can you connect to squid from your browser? - Did you modify the squid.conf to match your setup? (dst addresses, etc). - iptables? - restarted engine? - If you're using ovirt 3.4 make sure you set the cluster policy too On Sat, Feb 8, 2014 at 3:15 PM, Alan Murrell li...@murrell.ca wrote: I followed your notes, installing Squid on my oVirt server (I have an all-in-one installation).
