thanks! also note the cockpit automation testing framework which now covers operations on top of stable oVirt environment. > > Where is this going?

Its kinda nice to be able to access and manage the systems from > any one of the hosts instead of having to know where the engine is… note for anything meaningful it does need engine API connection, that’s not going to change really due to the oVirt architecture. But who knows how it goes.…:) There are pieces of functionality and configuration which can be done against oVirt VMs at the libvirt level, like Marek mentioned “shutdown” action, but mostly it’s introspection. With the parallel “VM XML” effort which gets in 4.2 we do have a complete VM definition in form of libvirt XML….so the cockpit code should be able to figure out a lot of properties from what it can see, and connect it with engine's information (e.g. it sees network interfaces from libvirt XML and it can correlate it to engine’s logical networks) But for large part of webadmin functionality it’s not really feasible, engine does a lot of things, and making changes without the visibility to the whole setup is not a good idea… Thanks, michal > > > -- > Barak Korren > RHV DevOps team , RHCE, RHCi > Red Hat EMEA > redhat.com <http://redhat.com/> | TRIED.
