Re: [Users] users quota and limit ips
Another approach would be to use logical networks and router software. Logical network 1 - has vm running ddwrt (or openwrt, m0n0wall, etc) with 2 NICs. one of the router VM NICs is on your network, and the other one gives out IP addresses on a range you specify (say 192.168.13.X). - VMs get IP addresses, DNS, and connectivity through router VM. Logical network 2 - has vm running ddwrt (or openwrt, m0n0wall, etc) with 2 NICs. one of the router VM NICs is on your network, and the other one gives out IP addresses on a range you specify (say 192.168.15.X). - VMs get IP addresses, DNS, and connectivity through router VM. You can predefine which logical network your users virtual machine will be put on based on the template you give them access to. This all requires some additional configuration (delegation) if you want the virtual machines to be routable from beyond the router they are behind.

Re: [Users] Templates and originating VM relationship
Hello, I'm from the RHEV docs team. Gianluca, thanks for reading the docs. :) If I can summarize what you've noticed, its that the note there is not needed. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=954211 Also, it would be good to add something about the relationship between the original VM and the template after a template has been created, is that right? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=954215 Can you comment on those bugs and let me know if I've missed anything, or if there is anything else you'd like to see?

Re: [Users] High Availability
> If one host is down because of network interrupt or power > failure, the engine should know how many HA VMs are down and find > out the VM images on the storage domain to start the VM instances on > another host in the cluster. Why do we need power manager to be > configured? Power management allows the Manager to start highly available virtual machines on new hosts without worrying that virtual machine hard disk images will be corrupted. Imagine a situation in which the Manager cannot communicate with the host a highly available virtual machine is running on. If the host is still running as expected, and the virtual machine is also still running, the virtual machine is writing to its hard disk image. If the Manager starts that virtual machine on another host in the cluster, then both virtual machine instances will try and write to the disk image, and cause hard disk corruption. Power management lets the Manager be sure that only one instance of the highly available virtual machine is running, because the instance on the host the Manager couldn't communicate cannot survive a host reboot.

Re: [Users] Data Center is being initialized, please wait for initialization to complete
Hey Alex, I used to have a similar problem a while back on an NFS data domain. Any time I did a large file operation (create template, export vm, import vm), I got that message, and had to wait until the SPM was re-assigned. I replaced my raid controller card, and the problem went away. I was able to isolate the problem by creating a new data domain using an external USB hard drive, and showing that it no longer happened on the new domain. Might be unrelated, but also might be something worth checking out to see if you can rule out your storage as the cause of the problem. Good luck!

From what I can tell, you are asking about using storage local to hypervisors, combined into a gluster volume, and used as a POSIX data center. I don't think anyone would disagree about that being a bad idea. In the RHEV documentation, we try and make it clear that one of the weaknesses of using storage that is local to they hypervisors is that when something happens, you lose two pieces of infrastructure in one shot, rather than one. I think that for the availability you are talking about, you'll want at least three nodes. I've cc'd John Walker, the Gluster Community Guy (whom I met recently at LCA, g'day John!), he can probably say something specific.

Re: [Users] nfs multiple data storage domains
> when my first(master) storage is full its not > utilising the second instead its throwing error, any idea how to > make the second one to be utilised? If your master domain is full because you've thin provisioned many virtual machine disks and over-comitted your storage, you'll need to expand the storage domain itself. AFAIK, a virtual machine disk image cannot be split across storage domains. A virtual machine can have two disks on two storage domains, but each single disk must be on a single storage domain. So, add more LUNs to the storage domain, or more logical volumes. Tim Hildred, RHCE Content Author II - Engineering Content Services, Red Hat, Inc.

Re: [Users] Fwd: Regarding Python script for RHEVM
Hey Romil, You could also check out the RHEV Developer Guide here: https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.1-Beta/html-single/Developer_Guide/index.html It is a beta version of the guide, but will be updated when RHEV 3.1 GAs.

Re: [Users] I can't figure out how to add a user?
Hey Alan; I think the missing piece might be a directory server of some kind (Active Directory, IPA, RHDS, and I think TivoliDS are the ones that work). You have to link oVirt engine up with your directory server, and add users to the directory server first before you can search and add them in oVirt. You link your oVirt engine to a directory server with the engine-manage-domains tool from the command line on your engine server. The command you'll use is something like: engine-manage-domains -action=add -domain=example.com -user=admin -provider=IPA -interactive That adds a domain called example.com, using user admin with ldap server type IPA and prompts you for a password. Hope that helps. Tim Hildred, RHCE Content Author II - Engineering Content Services, Red Hat, Inc.
