HMC support to openstack an invention by k0da Currently compute supports only IVM managed pSeries machines. In that case machines are not managed for central place. There shouldn't be a big deal to implement HMC support as IVM commands are pretty much similar to HMC. Updated over 5 years ago. 1 hackers ♥️.
PowerPC appliances deploy tool an idea by k0da We need a tool similar to suseviclient for deploying powerpc appliances. Updated over 5 years ago. 2 hacker ♥️. Has no hacker: grab it!
libvirt TCK a project by jfehlig The libvirt TCK provides a framework for performing testing of the integration between libvirt drivers, the underlying virt hypervisor technology, related operating system services and system configuration. The idea (and name) is motivated by the Java TCK. Currently the libvirt TCK is not fully packaged for SUSE and the test suite itself contains a lot of Redhat-isms. Mike Latimer and Jim Fehlig will work on properly packaging libvirt TCK (it has a LOT of perl dependencies) and patching it to work better with SUSE virtualization hosts and SUSE guest operating systems. It has traditionally focused on the KVM hypervisor, so there might be some progress made to make it work better with Xen too. Updated over 7 years ago. No love.
Cloud rearrangement: VM migration path-finding an invention by aspiers There are several use cases where it's beneficial to be able to automatically rearrange VM instances in a cloud into a different Updated about 5 years ago. 1 hackers ♥️.
Protect disk devices from concurrent use in the libvirt libxl hypervisor driver a project by jfehlig The libvirt qemu hypervisor driver has long supported protecting disk devices from concurrent use via libvirt's lock manager interface. Xen used to support the same functionality in the old xend toolstack, but dropped support in the new libxl toolstack. The Xen community decided, rightly so, that this functionality is best provided by a higher-level management tool, e.g. libvirt. This project aims to provide integration between libvirt's lock manager and the libxl hypervisor driver, essentially reintroducing support for disk device protection in the Xen management stack. Updated over 5 years ago. 1 hackers ♥️.
Native Xen support for RADOS Block devices a project by jfehlig libvirt+Xen should support the qdisk (qemu) rbd backend, providing native access to block devices hosted on Ceph clusters. Adding this support to the libvirt+Xen toolstack will also improve interoperability with SUSE Enterprise Storage. Updated over 7 years ago. No love.
Check p2v tool (guestfs) a project by aginies Test the latest release of guesfs tools, and chech new p2v. Package it for openSUSE My branch Updated over 7 years ago. No love.
Improve openvswitch+libvirt+Xen a project by jfehlig openvswitch is used by cloud infrastructure (e.g. OpenStack) and software defined networking stacks, often in conjunction with KVM and Xen compute resources. When creating workloads on KVM compute resources, orchestration services can specify the openvswitch interfaceid and port-profile of the workload's virtual interface(s). E.g. orchestration can create workload configuration containing Updated over 5 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️.

Add VirtualBox bootloader to openQA an invention by michalnowak In openQA we support various backends which are able to 'host' tests. 'svirt' - one of those backends - is so generic that it allows to conned to a virtualization host via SSH a perform shell commands directly. As VirtualBox has decent command line interface (especially `VBoxManage` command) it shouldn't be that hard to support VirtualBox in openQA's os-autoinst via svirt backend.
