1. Re: Virtualization management plugin
bryan.kearney Jan 25, 2010 11:15 AM (in response to tall_male)I believe you will need to build this from source, since I do not know if it was built in a release. Are you running from the latest in git? -
2. Re: Virtualization management plugin
tall_male Jan 26, 2010 5:28 AM (in response to bryan.kearney)The plugi is already available as shown in "Available Plugins". However, I it doesn't showup on a Ubuntu machine (with agent) using kvm with libvirt.
Neither can I find information how to use/configure this plugin. Too bad, this plugin looks very promising.
I'm using Jopr 2.3.1 downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/rhq/files/jopr/jopr-2.3.1/jopr-server-2.3.1.zip/download.

bryan.kearney Jan 26, 2010 8:02 AM (in response to tall_male)I am not sure, but that version may be more xen focused. The latest version works against xen and kvm. -
4. Re: Virtualization management plugin
ips Jan 26, 2010 9:22 AM (in response to tall_male)You might want to try installing the latest version of RHQ (which includes all the Jopr plugins). This might have a newer version of the virt plugin. The release can be downloaded from [http://www.rhq-project.org/display/RHQ/Download].
You also might want to peek at the [http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/rhq/rhq.git?p=rhq/rhq.git;a=tree;f=modules/plugins/virt;h=76c09b85fa0877d9c43d8b39798ef714de202c81;hb=master], or even try building the very latest version and using that. The git URLs are at [http://www.rhq-project.org/display/RHQ/Source+Repository].
Good luck!

5. Re: Virtualization management plugin
tall_male Jan 26, 2010 9:19 AM (in response to ips)I',m confused. The virtualization plugin are included in the latest Jopr release 2.3.1 and it is supposed to work with libvirt.
But; what is the difference betwen RHQ en Jopr?

6. Re: Virtualization management plugin
ips Jan 26, 2010 9:26 AM (in response to tall_male)Previously, RHQ was the core platform, and Jopr was a superset of RHQ that also included plugins for managing a handful of JBoss products. This has recently changed. The Jopr stuff has been merged into RHQ, and the Jopr project will no longer be updated. -

8. Re: Virtualization management plugin
tall_male Jan 26, 2010 9:32 AM (in response to mazz)May thanks fr all the information. As far as I understand, the latest stable release is Jopr 2.3.1; next release obviously will be RHQ 1.4.something.
Nevertheless, I am still struggeling with the question: how to use/enable the virtualization plugin?

9. Re: Virtualization management plugin
bryan.kearney Jan 26, 2010 10:07 AM (in response to tall_male)can you post the agent log. I am going to guess there are some errors around kvm which is causing discovery to fail. -
10. Re: Virtualization management plugin
tall_male Jan 26, 2010 10:13 AM (in response to bryan.kearney)I'll post the log later. ( I'm not home right now)
But still: I cannot find where I can add the virtualization service manually...

11. Re: Virtualization management plugin
ips Jan 26, 2010 12:00 PM (in response to tall_male)Only certain Resource types support manual-add. You can see the child Resource types that do support it by going to the intended parent Resource's Inventory>Overview tab in the GUI and looking at what child Resource types, if any, are listed in the Manually-Add pulldown menu under the Child Resources table. -
12. Re: Virtualization management plugin
tall_male Feb 22, 2010 10:40 AM (in response to ips)I tried RHQ 3.0.0.B02 today, the virtualization plugin worked out of the box! Great work, finally a good, still a bit basic, WEB interface for KVM. Keep on going, I certainly hope this plugin will make it to the stable version.
I would be nice to have access to the master-console (using virt-viewer and/or a browser plugin) though.
Nevertheless, nice work.
