Die Open-Source Virtualisierungslösung oVirt, wurde vor kurzem in der Version 4.4.2 freigegeben. oVirt selbst ist eine Alternative für VMWare und vSphere und ermöglicht das Managment von KVM Virtualisierung in Multi-Node-Umgebungen.
oVirt dependencies
- BZ 1851092 Package ovirt-engine missing java dependencies in a RPMovirt-dependency package has been added to the oVirt distribution providing binary java dependencies previously bundled within oVirt Engine packages.
Enhancements
oVirt Engine
- BZ 1749803 [RFE] Improve workflow for storage migration of VMs with multiple disksFeature:
Allow setting the same target domain for multiple disks at
once on the move/copy popup.
Reason:
Currently, while moving/copying multiple disks, the user is required to set the target domain for each disk separately, one by one.
Result:
For multiple selected disks, if a common target domain exists, it can be set as the target domain for all those disks at once by selecting it from the list.
In case a common storage domain doesn’t exist, or setting a different target domain for part of the disks,
(so not all disks will be moved/copied to the same storage domain), the common target domain would be set as ‘Mixed’.
- BZ 1860309 Upgrade to GWT 2.9.0Feature:
Upgrade GWT (Google Web Toolkit) version from 2.8.0 to 2.9.0
Reason:
- support for building with Java 11
- accumulated improvements and bug fixes (from versions 2.8.1, 2.8.2, 2.9.0)
- BZ 1837873 [RFE] No warning/blocking when detaching storage domain when there are VMs with disk on the detached domain and second disk on other domainFeature:
Warn on detaching a storage domain having VMs/templates with disks on another storage domain.
Reason:
When a user wants to detach a storage domain that contains
VMs/templates, their disks should be moved to a storage domain used for migration.
Currently, when that entity also has multiple disks on a different storage domain, its future migration might get complicated and split into two partial entities instead.
Result:
In order to avoid the entity’s split, a new warning was added in that case while confirming the SD detach.
- BZ 1667019 Button for removing cluster can be mistaken for button removing VMsFeature: Moved the Cluster’s Remove Button to the drop down menu.
Reason: Enhanced usability.
Result: The remove button resides within the drop down menu to avoid removing the Cluster accidentally.
- BZ 1819260 [RFE] enhance search filter for Storage Domains with free argumentThe following search filter properties for Storage Domains have been enhanced:
- ‘size’ changed to ‘free_size’
- ‘total_size’ added to the search engine options
- ‘used’ changed to ‘used_size’
For example , you can use now the following in the Storage Domains tab:
“free_size > 6 GB and total_size < 20 GB”
