[Engine-devel] Work in progress patches
Hi All, Gerrit 2.6 allows everyone to see all drafts. This means that no more WIP patches should be submitted, but drafts, once work is done, draft can be published into real change. Drafts has advantages: 1. It cannot be mistakenly merged. 2. Drafts can be deleted, even a specific change within draft. 3. Drafts have their own category in UI. 4. CI can distiguish between drafts and non drafts and skip steps, for example do not perform integration tests. Pushing drafts: Just replace /for/ with /drafts/: $ git push upstream HEAD:refs/drafts/master/topic Regards, Alon Bar-Lev. ___ Engine-devel mailing list Engine-devel@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/engine-devel

Re: [Engine-devel] failed to add host into cluster
Hi, I got the same error after X reinstallation on a host with fedora 19, fedora 18 engine and latest otopi+host deploy. A total host OS reinstall helped, however I noticed that after installing VDSM from engine, an old version was installed, incompatible with 3.3, so I had to manually edit /etc/yum.repos.d/ovirt.repo to enable nightly and manually upgrade. It worked fine after that. Another, less accurate, but much more effective solution that I previously used is to update the config to accept whatever vdsm offers (obviously a hack, not meant for production) Laszlo - Original Message - > From: "Itamar Heim" > To: "Wei D Chen" > Cc: "Lijuan Zhang" , engine-devel@ovirt.org > Sent: Sunday, August 4, 2013 4:24:44 PM > Subject: Re: [Engine-devel] failed to add host into cluster > > On 08/02/2013 09:34 AM, Chen, Wei D wrote: > > Failed to add a node into cluster.

Re: [Engine-devel] direct manipulation of libvirt
Since you cannot know what kind of changes the user will do in libvirt you cannot be sure that VDSM will be able to live with them. By "Allowing" this officially you will create an impression that it is safe, which will cause frustration for the user if VDSM breaks. So keeping this as "do at your own risk, we want nothing to do with it" sounds like a good plan to me :) But ignoring that, what kind of behaviour would you like? maybe the ability to pass custom libvirt flags on VM startup? This can be pretty easily Implemented as an all purpose hook, isn't it? (write once, pass any argument you like) - Original Message - From: "Dead Horse" To: "engine-devel" Sent: Friday, August 2, 2013 7:43:31 PM Subject: [Engine-devel] direct manipulation of libvirt A broad question here, perhaps not a possibility but I figured I would toss it out there anyway. VDSM is great at what it does, however there are those times when direct manipulation of libvirt or libvirt VM configuration would be very handy. The safe defaults and tested VM configurations that VDSM/ovirt provides are great. However at times it would be nice to simply connect to a hypervisor managed by ovirt/vdsm and make a couple changes to a VM (via virt-manager or directly via virsh). This could be enabling a new feature that has made it's way into QEMU/libvirt/KVM or tweaking a VM configuration for whatever reason. Now there is nothing stopping someone from doing this now either directly or via VDSM hooks. Hooks are a pain along with the custom properties to jack them into engine. Direct manipulation of libvirt since it has been upstarted by vdsm results in an unhappy VDSM/engine.
