Following bellow (sic) builds Light Weight X Windows environment on Fedora 20 Cloud instance and demonstrate (sic) running same instance in Spice session via virt-manager ( Controller connects to Compute node via virt-manager ).

When you meet the first time with GRE tunnelling you have to understand that GRE encapsulation requires 24 bytes and a lot of problems raise up , view http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk827/tk369/technologies_tec... In particular, Two Node (Controller+Compute) RDO Havana cluster on Fedora 20 hosts been built by myself per guidelines from http://kashyapc.wordpress.com/2013/11/23/neutron-configs-for... was Neutron GRE cluster. Hence, for any instance has been setup (Fedora or Ubuntu) problem with network communication raises up immediately. Apt-get update just refuse to work on Ubuntu Salamander Server instance (default MTU value for Ethernet interface is 1500).

Cloud instances running on Compute perform commands like nslookup,traceroute. Yum install & yum -y update work on Fedora 19 instance, however, in meantime time network on VF19 is stable, but relatively slow.CentOS 6.5 with "RDO Havana+Glusterfs+Neutron VLAN" works on same box (dual booting with F20) much faster.That is a first impression

Why CentOS 6.5 ? It has library ligfapi http://www.gluster.org/2012/11/integration-with-kvmqemu/ backported what allows native Qemu work directly with gluterfs 3.4.1 volumes.

My final target was to create two node oVirt 3.3.2 cluster and virtual machines using replicated glusterfs 3.4.1 volumes based on XFS formatted partitions. Choice of IPv4 firewall with iptables for tuning cluster environment and synchronization is my personal preference. Now I also know that postgres requires enough shared memory allocation like Informix or Oracle

OpenStack is probably the largest and fastest growing opensource project out there. Unfortunately, that means fast changes, new features and different install methods. RedHat's RDO simplifies this.

My final target was to create two node oVirt 3.3 cluster and virtual machines using replicated glusterfs 3.4.1 volumes. Choice of firewalld as configured firewall seems to be unacceptable for this purpose in meantime. Selection of iptables firewall allows to complete the task.

Two node gluster 3.4.1 cluster set up follows bellow. Please, view first nice article: http://www.mirantis.com/blog/openstack-havana-glusterfs-and-... and http://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/CinderSupportMatrix.

Following http://www.gluster.org/category/openstack/, this is a snapshot to show the difference between the Havanna and Grizzly releases with GlusterFS.

This post follows up Bug #998435 qemu-kvm-spice doesn't support spice/qxl installs Build bellow is based on upstream (vs linaro) version of qemu-kvm 1.0 on Ubuntu Precise. View bug description above regarding details of qemu-kvm-spice misbehavior.

Build requires spice & spice-protocol 0.10.1 and the most recent usbredir 0.4.3 as of 04/02/2010. View also recent commit at [url=http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/spice-gtk]http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/spice-gtk[/url][/url] converted to 0001-usbredir-Check-for-existing-usb-channels-after-libus.patch for spice-gtk-0.11

New upstream release. Add USB redirection support, see Hans comments in the log and that post for details: http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/11084.html ; introduce SpiceGtkSession to deal with session-wide Gtk events, such as clipboard, instead of doing it per display ; many cursor and keyboard handling improvements ; handle the new “semi-seamless” migration ; support new Spice mini-headers ; better coroutines: fibers on windows and jmp on linux ; add Vala vapi bindings generation ; Add command line options for setting the cache size and the glz window size ; Add a USB device selection widget to libspice-client-gtk ; many bug fixes and code improvements ;

In other words posting may be named “Set up Spice-Gtk 0.8 on Ubuntu Precise”. Short list of the changes per [1] :- add USB redirection support, see Hans comments in the log and that post for details: http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/11084.html

Two options of building patched QEMU-KVM 1.0 are considered bellow. First one : Qemu-kvm 1.0 has been built based on branch qemu-kvm-1.0-usbredir as of 12/29/2011. It contains all required usb redirection patches on top of QEMU-KVM 1.0 release. Second one : Patching QEMU-KVM 1.0 (core git tree) via extracted patches set to support USB redirection on Ubuntu Precise. Generating patches set via commands . . .

Procedure following bellow set up Qemu-kvm 1.0 & Spice 0.10 & Spice-Gtk 0.7.159 & Libusb 1.0.9-rc3 (official) on daily build of Ubuntu Precise (kernel 3.2.0-6).There is only one change to official libusb 1.0.9~rc3

Following bellow is an attempt to reproduce Hans de Goede blog entry at http://planet.spice-space.org/ on Ubuntu 12.04 and 11.10 with intend to build Qemu-kvm 1.0 with usb redirection network support per http://planet.spice-space.org/. Current build qemu-kvm for Ubuntu Precise is based on branch http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~jwrdegoede/qemu/. View similar PPA for Ubuntu Oneiric Qemu-kvm 1.0 & Spice 0.10.0 & Spice-Gtk-0.7.81 USB redirection and Libvirt 0.9.7-2 for Ubuntu Oneiric(v.6)

RH’s opensource distros ISO images (Fedora,CentOS) have a nice feature,been loop mounted on apache folder /var/www/domain, they allow to create local mirror to virt-install corresponding paravirtual guest. Not customized Ubuntu ISOs don’t have this feature, however virt-install still works for Oneiric, Natty, Lucid utilizing remote system HTTP source.
