Hosted Engine

  • oVirt 3.4 features hosted engine, which enables oVirt engine to be run as a virtual machine (VM) on the host it manages. Hosted engine solves the chicken-and-the egg problem for users: the basic challenge of deploying and running an oVirt engine inside a VM. This clustered solution enables users to configure multiple hosts to run the hosted engine, ensuring the engine still runs in the event of any one host failure.

Enhanced Gluster Support

Preview: PPC64

  • Engine Support for PPC64 will add PPC64 architecture awareness to the ovirt-engine code, which currently makes various assumptions based on the x86 architecture. When specifying virtual machine devices, for example, what is suitable for x86 architecture may not be for POWER (or may not be available yet).
  • VDSM Support for PPC64 introduces the capability of managing KVM on IBM POWER processors via oVirt. Administrators will be able to perform management functionalities such as adding or activating KVM, creating clusters of KVM and performing VM lifecycle management on any IBM POWER host.

    • Migration is still a work in progress for KVM on IBM POWER processor.

Preview: Hot-plug CPUs

oVirt 3.4 adds a preview of a Hot-plug CPU feature that enables administrators to ensure customer’s service-level agreements are being met, the full utilization of spare hardware, and the capability to dynamically to scale vertically, down or up, a system’s hardware according to application needs without restarting the virtual machine.

Other Enhancements

Virt

  • Guest Agents for openSUSE and Ubuntu provide ovirt-guest-agent packages for these Linux distributions.
  • SPICE Proxy lets the users define a proxy that will be used by SPICE client to connect to the guest. It is useful when the user (e.g., using user portal) is outside of the network where the hypervisors reside.
  • SSO Method Control enables users to switch between various SSO methods in the UI. The first version of the patch only allows switching between guest agent SSO (current approach) and disabling SSO.
  • Init Persistent allows persistent use of Windows Sysprep and Cloud-Init data to the Database. By persisting the data, administrators can create a template with VM-Init data that will enable initialize VMs with relevant data.
  • Guest Reboot enable users to restart VMs with single command.
  • Template Versioning enables adding new versions to existing templates, by either selecting a VM and using it to create a new version of a template or by editing a template, and when saving, selecting Save As Version.

Infra

  • oVirt Engine SNMP Traps extends events notifier capabilities and enables oVirt to generate SNMP traps out of system events to integrate oVirt with generic monitoring systems.
  • Authentication & Directory rewrites allow re-implementation of Authentication and Directory support within oVirt, which is currently based on Kerberos and “internal” user for authentication, and on LDAP and the database (for internal domains).

Networking

  • Network Labels provides the ability to label networks and to use that label on the host’s interfaces, so the label abstracts the networks from the physical interface/bond (which can be labelled with one or more labels).
  • Predictable vNIC Order resolves the usual mess in MAC address and PCI address mapping when adding a virtual NIC to an oVirt guest by making in-guest order of NICs predictable, depending their visual order.
  • OpenStack Neutron integration will give users the ability to use various technologies that OpenStack Neutron provides for its networks, such as IPAM, L3 routing, and security groups, as well as the capability to use technologies not natively supported in oVirt for VM networks.

    • This feature still does not include migration for security groups, which will be added in an upcoming release during the 3.4 release cycle.

  • Adding iproute2 support, creating a network backend from iproute2 tools, following the internal API.

    • This feature is still partially implemented, and will be completed in an upcoming release during the 3.4 release cycle.

  • Multi-Host Network Configuration allows the administrator to modify a network (i.e., VLAN-id or MTU) that is already provisioned by the hosts and to apply the network changes to all of the hosts within the datacenter to which the network is assigned. The feature will be enabled for 3.1 datacenters and above, regardless of cluster level in order to avoid inconsistency between hosts network configuration in various clusters.

Planned Features: Networking

  • Host Network Quality of Service provides the means to control the traffic of a specific network through a host’s physical interface. It is a natural extension of the VM Network QoS feature, which provided the same functionality for a VM network through a VM’s virtual interface. This feature was planned for oVirt 3.4, but is postponed until oVirt 3.5.

Storage

  • Multiple Storage Domains enables a virtual machine to spread its disks across several storage domains within the same datacenter.
  • Read Only Disk for Engine gives Engine the read-only disk capability already found in VDSM.
  • Single-disk Snapshot enables the creation of a customized snapshot, allowing the user to select from which disks to take a snapshot.

SLA & Scheduling

UX Enhancements

  • UI Refresh Synchronization solves UI consistency issues related to the UI not being updated when certain actions/events happen by centralizing the refresh logic.
  • Lower Resolution Support repairs the issue of lower resolutions causing the tab bar and action menu wrap overlapping other UI elements by adding a scrollable tab bar for the tabs and a cascading menu bar for the action menu.

Install / Upgrade from Previous Versions

oVirt 3.4 is now available for use. In order to install it on a clean system, you need to install

` # yum localinstall [http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release34.rpm`](http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release34.rpm)

If you already have ovirt-release package you need to update it to 10.0.1 or newer by running

       # yum update ovirt-release

If the above command doesn’t work for you, try using a distribution-specific name:

CentOS:

      # yum update ovirt-release-el6

Fedora:

      # yum update ovirt-release-fedora
  • Note: On CentOS and RHEL you’ll need also EPEL repositories enabled.
  • Note: On CentOS and RHEL for DWH you’ll need also jpackage 6 repositories enabled.
  • Note: On Fedora 19 you’ll need to enable fedora-updates repository for having updated openstack packages (was in fedora-updates-testing until Jan 23th - you might want to run ‘yum clean all’).
  • Note: On Fedora 19, you’ll need to enable fedora-virt-preview repository for using Fedora 19 as node on 3.4 clusters.

Once ovirt-release is updated, you will have the ovirt-3.4-stable repository enabled by default.

If you’re updating from a pre release version and you want to have rollback support, you’ll need to enable ovirt-3.4-prerelease repository.

For CentOS / RHEL:

      [ovirt-3.4-prerelease]
      name=Latest oVirt 3.4 Pre Releases (Beta to Release Candidate) `    baseurl=`[`http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/3.4_pre/rpm/EL/$releasever/`](http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/3.4_pre/rpm/EL/$releasever/)
      enabled=1
      skip_if_unavailable=1
      gpgcheck=0

For Fedora:

      [ovirt-3.4-prerelease]
      name=Latest oVirt 3.4 Pre Releases (Beta to Release Candidate) `    baseurl=`[`http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/3.4_pre/rpm/Fedora/$releasever/`](http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/3.4_pre/rpm/Fedora/$releasever/)
      enabled=1
      skip_if_unavailable=1
      gpgcheck=0

Fedora / CentOS / RHEL

If you’re using pre-release repo you’ll need to run:

      # yum update "ovirt-engine-setup*"
      # engine-setup

If you’re upgrading from oVirt 3.3.2 or later you should just execute:

      # yum update ovirt-engine-setup
      # engine-setup

If you’re upgrading from oVirt 3.3.0 or 3.3.1 you must first upgrade to a newer version of oVirt 3.3 (latest is 3.3.5)

If you’re upgrading from oVirt 3.2, you should read oVirt 3.2 to 3.3 upgrade.

If you’re upgrading from oVirt 3.1, you should upgrade to 3.2 before upgrading to 3.4. Please read oVirt 3.1 to 3.2 upgrade before starting the upgrade.

On CentOS and RHEL: For upgrading to 3.2, you’ll need 3.2 stable repository. So, the first step is to disable 3.3 / stable repository and enable 3.2 in /etc/yum.repos.d/ovirt.repo:

      [ovirt-32]
      name=Stable builds of the oVirt 3.2 project `    baseurl=`[`http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/3.2/rpm/EL/$releasever/`](http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/3.2/rpm/EL/$releasever/)
      enabled=1
      skip_if_unavailable=1
      gpgcheck=0

Then

      # yum update ovirt-engine-setup

should install ovirt-engine-setup-3.2.3-1.el6.noarch.rpm. If you have already updated to 3.3.x, please use distro-sync or downgrade instead of update. Then:

      # engine-upgrade

this will upgrade your system to latest 3.2. Once you’ve all working on 3.2, enable 3.3/stable repository, then just

      # yum update ovirt-engine-setup
      # engine-setup

will upgrade to latest 3.3.
