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

Thanks for any information.

[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

Re: [Users] View the Console using SPICE from Windows client

 Hi All,

 I have successfully launched a VM on one of the Host (FC19 Host). Console
 option for the VM is set to SPICE. However, I am not able to see the console
 after clicking on the console button in oVirt Engine.

 I am accessing the oVirt Engine from a Windows 7 machine. I have tried with
 Chrome, Firefox and IE.

I suggest you try the steps I described in my posting to this list on 2/20/2014.
I had the same problem and I was able to solve it.

Can you please post the output of

Just in case you didn't notice, I recently posted a message
saying that this problem is due to me fooling around with
my yum settings. For reasons I still don't understand,
have my [base] repo point to a local mirror causes the
problem I described, but pointing to the standard mirror
list makes the problem go away. I'm trying to figure out
why this is happening.

[Users] How to See Ovirt Console From a Remote Windows Host

2014-02-20 Thread Jon Forrest

I know that this is simple for some of you, but I also
know from Googling around that lots of people have had
trouble seeing their ovirt console from a remote Windows
host. Below I describe what finally worked for me. I hope
this helps somebody avoid wasting as much time as I did
today.

I'm a fairly experienced VMWare user who's learning ovirt.
I just installed an all-in-one ovirt server and copied a
CentOS 6.5 iso into it. I then tried to boot a new VM
but soon learned that console access is different in ovirt
than on VMWare.

I then spent over an hour trying the various documented
ways to view a remote console using Spice on my Windows 7
desktop. I even tried using a Linux VM to see if the Firefox
plugin for Spice would work. Nothing.

What finally worked was installing the virt-viewer Windows
client (http://virt-manager.org/download/). Then, I opened
the ovirt Administration Portal in Firefox running on my
Windows 7 desktop. I created a new VM and configured it
the way I wanted. Then, from the Virtual Machines tab, I started
the new VM. Pretty soon the little console icon turned green so
I clicked on it. I got the prompt from Firefox asking me what
app I wanted to associate with the .vv URL that opened when
I clicked on the console icon. I browsed around and selected

\Program Files\VirtViewer\bin\remote-viewer.exe

which is from the virt-viewer client package I installed above.
I told Firefox to always use this app for this kind of file.

This works great! I was able to boot the CentOS system and
install it with no problems.

Good luck!

[Users] Yum Installation Problems (ovirt 3.3, CentOS 6.5)

2014-02-18 Thread Jon Forrest
I have a brand new CentOS 6.5 x86_64 installation with all the updates
as of today installed.
I want to create a test All-In-One node, so I follow the documentation and run

 yum install epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
 yum localinstall http://ovirt.org/releases/ovirt-release-el.noarch.rpm

These work fine. I then run

yum install ovirt-engine-setup-plugin-allinone -y

and I get

Error: Package: libvirt-lock-sanlock-0.10.2-29.el6_5.3.x86_64 (updates)
   Requires: libsanlock_client.so.1()(64bit)

Error: Package: vdsm-4.13.3-3.el6.x86_64 (ovirt-3.3.3)

Is this expected? What's weird is that IIRC I did the same thing last
week without problems.
Should I just grab newer versions of libvirt?

Thanks,
Jon Forrest
