oVirt 0.93-1 Released
Perry N. Myers [1]
both the oVirt Node and oVirt Server Suite.
New features in this release include:
- Addition of 'Smart Pools' in the Web user interface for organizing pools on a per user basis.
- Additions to the Edit VM screen to allow re-provisioning of a guest as well editing other guest settings.
- oVirt Appliance manages VMs directly on the host it is running on. This eliminates the 'fake nodes' used in previous versions.
- oVirt API (Ruby Bindings)
- Support for configuring more than one NIC per Node. UI support for this will be integrated shortly.
- Support for bonding/failover of NICs. UI support for this will be integrated shortly.
