That's a nice theory you've got there... :) I'd think a little script
management would go a long way until you have _every_ possible use

get talked into adding that extra bit of flexibility even though no
user should ever need it. They always find something I never thought
of.

we're always torn by adding such features to ovirt, or saying "just use something like foreman/puppet" to distribute rpms to hosts.


btw, do I put feature requests in bugzilla, or is there some other place?

in bugzilla.



Thanks for all of the help.

that seems silly. Seems like the kinda thing that would be a nice
feature to have in the webadmin stuff. esp if you have 100's of hosts.
oh well, thanks for the help.

you're not supposed to need a hook under normal circumstances, when the 
functionality is useful enough it should be built into vdsm natively...well, 
that's in progress for this one for 3.4.1:)

Thanks,

And just to verify... All hooking scripts have to be placed on each
host by hand?

Yes

thx, So dumb question at this point. I'm in the process of moving from
virt-manager to ovirt.  virsh has an edit domain function, or I can
edit the xml by hand. I'm able to locate the xml on the host, but
obviously if I edit it by hand it will be replaced by vdsm. I'm having
a hell of a time trying to find the xml on the engine, so that I can
try modifying the xml to add a serial console.  Based on that code
that's all that's really going on with that patch. So I'd think I can
wing it by modifying the db or xml directly.  Just not sure where to
go to do so.  I'm guessing I could go into vm_device and replace
device='virtio-serial' with 'serial'  but that seems to easy. Any
pointers you've got on how the xml is stored or produced would be
great.

It's a bit more complicated than that....there's no XML stored in the backend.
You'd be better off applying the patch over and compile yourself:)
The supported way of how to amend the libvirt XML is via VDSM hooks. You need
to intercept the created XML and add whatever is needed, see
http://www.ovirt.org/VDSM-Hooks, some of the examples can be used as a base
for what you're trying to do...

Yup, before_vm_start before_vm_migrate should allow you to do what you want.


Thanks,

So do you think this is a 3.5 thing or a 3.4.1 thing? It's exactly
what I need, just curious how long I'll have to wait. I know this is
every developers favorite question.

one needs to nag Vinzenz frequently enough....:-D

....but should be 3.4.1

I just can't seem to figure this out.  I've enabled 'VirtIO Console
Device' yet I can't seem to find anyplace that will let me get there.
If I go to virsh on the host and try ttyconsoe that doesn't  work
either.  thanks for any help.

Does not work. Pending this[1] patch to get in.

Thanks,
