Setting oVirt hardware profile - Spice, Thin Provisioning of disks, and VM name in the console

Samuli_Heinonen · March 5, 2013, 1:27pm

Hello Eric,

I'd like to know about these things as well and also it would be nice to know if it possible to enable high availability via Foreman?

#3, what version you are using? I saw same behavior on 1.1 but I think it has been fixed already (although I'm not sure and I'm not able to test this right away)

Sorry for the delay with my answer. I just checked and I'm currently running following packages:
foreman-1.1stable-2.el6.noarch
foreman-sqlite-1.1stable-2.el6.noarch
foreman-ec2-1.1stable-2.el6.noarch
foreman-ovirt-1.1stable-2.el6.noarch
foreman-mysql-1.1stable-2.el6.noarch
foreman-proxy-1.1stable-1.el6.noarch
foreman-libvirt-1.1stable-2.el6.noarch

I created new VM with Foreman using RHEV 3.1 and hostname matches in RHEV Manager and Foreman (host-domain-tld shown in both). I think I can test this also with oVirt 3.2 if needed.

I'm also running RHEV3.1, but my VMs receive a name of foreman-xxxxxxx
instead of hostname. I'll dig through the configs and yaml files to see if
I can find where that is set, but if anyone knows why this might be
happening, I'd love to avoid a dig.

I cant reproduce this either… if you are creating vms via foreman hidden
url (/compute_resources/id/vms/new) then it would default to such a name,
however, if you create the vm via the host tab (new host) then I'm not sure
how this happens (as the current hostname should always override the
foreman randomly generated hostname )

foreman latest develop branch did get a few more ovirt releated updates
(like the disk lock issues, and spice over html5 etc), might worth trying
to use that and see if the problem still occurs?

the relevant place in the code that generates the foreman-xxx names is at:

github.com

theforeman/foreman/blob/develop/app/models/compute_resource.rb#L142


      
          def self.provider_friendly_name
            name.split('::').last()
          end
          
          def provider_friendly_name
            self.class.provider_friendly_name
          end
          
          def host_compute_attrs(host)
            { :name => host.vm_name,
              :provision_method => host.provision_method,
              :firmware_type => host.firmware_type,
              "#{interfaces_attrs_name}_attributes" => host_interfaces_attrs(host) }.with_indifferent_access
          end
          
          def host_interfaces_attrs(host)
            host.interfaces.select(&:physical?).each.with_index.reduce({}) do |hash, (nic, index)|
              hash.merge(index.to_s => nic.compute_attributes.merge(ip: nic.ip, ip6: nic.ip6))
            end
          end

but this should be overwritten every time using the new hosts form.
