[ovirt-users] several questions about serial console
Hi all, About serial console: * how to get out of a selectionned vm where we are on the login prompt (why not backing up to the vm menu) rather than killing the ssh process or closing the terminal? Usual "^] " doesn't work there. * according to https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.6/html-single/Virtual_Machine_Management_Guide/index.html # ssh -t -p ovirt-vmconsole@/MANAGER_IP/ --vm-name/vm1 / should allow to connect directly to a vm on its serial port, and it is very useful when there are a big number of vm. In reality, we get a SSH issue : "unknown option -- -" * if we want to add 5 users with UserVmManager role on 150 vms and I can't use group for this stuff, this means I need to do this with an ovirt-shell script like : # for i in $(cat /tmp/ids.ovirt); do for j in $(cat /tmp/list_all);do ovirt-shell -E "add permission --parent-vm-name $j --user-id $i --role-name UserVmManager"; done; done and 5*150 API connections only because I can't add several user ids on the same "add permission" line ? It's doable, but not not very convinient and very long if I have many more users to add. * Why can't we add permission by user-name and not user-id ? Thnak you for your help. -- Nathanaël Blanchet Supervision réseau Pôle Infrastrutures Informatiques 227 avenue Professeur-Jean-Louis-Viala 34193 MONTPELLIER CEDEX 5 Tél. 33 (0)4 67 54 84 55 Fax 33 (0)4 67 54 84 14 blanc...@abes.fr ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

That’s a limitation/design of REST API In the UI you can highlight multiple VMs and assign roles all in one go Note you don’t have to use the UserVmManager role, it’s just one of the predefined ones. If you want your own, different, role you can always define a new one and add the serial console permission Thanks, michal > > Adding Francesco. > > Thanks and best regards, > -- > Didi > ___ > Users mailing list > Users@ovirt.org > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users > > ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

See also the README file: /usr/share/doc/ovirt-vmconsole/README on your machine, or https://gerrit.ovirt.org/gitweb?p=ovirt-vmconsole.git;a=blob;f=README For those who are interested, the working way is # ssh -t -p ovirt-vmconsole@MANAGER_IP connect --vm-name vm1 None of the official rhev doc or /usr/share/doc/ovirt-vmconsole/README tells about it.
