As well as the points you mention (templates for creations of vm's, with desired packages, etc), it does a lot more too: + VM launching/killing and monitoring + Supports several virtualization and cloud platforms simultaneously, so you build/launch/manage your VM's on (say) oVirt, VMware, and EC2. OpenStack support (amongst others) is currently being added. + You can build custom applications out of several vm templates, and have them correct pass configuration information amongst themselves when they launch. (IP addresses, dependency info, etc) For example, a 2-node Wordpress application, consisting of an Apache webserver vm template + a MySQL vm template). Automatically sets itself up at launch: https://github.com/aeolusproject/audrey/tree/master/examples/wordpress With the oVirt setup you're doing for those instructions, please try and use oVirt 3.0 for the moment. There's a bug in an rpm we rely on for our oVirt support (vdsm floppyinject hook) that's broken with oVirt 3.1. Hopefully we'll have that issue fixed late next week (enabling oVirt 3.1 support). That doesn't help you right now though. ;) If it's helpful, the Aeolus dev's are in the #aeolus freenode IRC channel, and are generally pretty responsive requests for help. i.e. RHEV-M setup, etc. We also have an aeolus-users mailing list, which is worth asking on if you're not in to IRC. :) https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/aeolus-users Does that help? :) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift And if someone has aeolus experience and suggestions is welcome :D Marco -- Aeolus Community Manager http://www.aeolusproject.org ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

One of the major topics for this week's weekly sync is to review the release criteria. The criteria we used for 3.1 is laid out on the wiki [1]. I will be posting an equivalent version for the next release in the next couple days, but it will mostly be copy/paste from this page. Please think about release criteria and whether or not we want to add/remove/change things for this release.

If i don't fill the default gw, when i click ok, i loose connection to the server and then after more or less 1 minute the server automaticaly reboots. Anyone had this kind of problem? Two thoughts here: ;) * The lose connection to the server bit sort of sounds like this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=838816 Reckon that's a match? * Aside from that, you might have to manually configure networking for the hosts from the command line. Using the normal Linux commands I mean, not oVirt specific ones. i.e. creating the bridging and everything manually. This is the approach I had to take last week when trying out Aeolus with oVirt 3.1. Network layer breaks when adding a 2nd interface, but was able to work around it by manually creating the bridges from cli, after having defined the logical networks in the oVirt Web UI. The configure things manually approach isn't all that documented either. I kind of stumbled my way through, by looking at the examples here: http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Installing_VDSM_from_rpm#Configuring_the_bridge_Interface Is any of that helpful?

But, I don't really have the time/inclination to get into the high-availability side of things with oVirt at this stage. (Only going for basic, initial, hands on familiarity). i think the fencing menu could benefit from a '(graceful) shutdown' option if someone would sent patches to that effect Not sure the fencing menu is the right place. For non 24x7 environments, it'd be a common (daily) admin task. For that kind of thing, a menu option in the vicinity of the maintenance/activate menu would be about right wouldn't it?
