Objective --------- Incorporate new material about UI interface plugins from Vojtech Szocs into the Administration Guide. Email from Vojtech ------------------ Hi Zac, I'm just writing that I recently updated feature wiki [http://www.ovirt.org/Features/UIPlugins] and wrote entry-level tutorial for plugin developers [http://www.ovirt.org/Tutorial/UIPlugins/CrashCourse]. Feel free to take any changes done in oVirt wiki and reflect them into RHEV Admin Guide. Following link shows the diff (recent changes) for feature wiki: http://www.ovirt.org/index.php?title=Features%2FUIPlugins&diff=9446&oldid=7830 Regards, Vojtech Link to RHEV 3.2 Admin Guide UI Plugin Section ---------------------------------------------- http://documentation-devel.engineering.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.2/html/Administration_Guide/appe-Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization_User_Interface_Plugins.html

List the domain(s) and IP(s) that # you plan to use.

For http traffic on port 80 or https on port 443, it is # not necessary to include a port. The current ovirt documentation shows this # file without the surrounding '{}', this is an error. The file must be proper JSON, # as it is here. echo '{"config":{"allowedOrigins": ["https://manager.example.com","https://xx.xx.xx.xx"]}}' > /etc/ovirt-engine/ui-plugins/space-shooter-config.json # Properly label the new directory and files. restorecon /etc/ovirt-engine/ui-plugins restorecon /etc/ovirt-engine/ui-plugins/space-shooter-config.json # Restart the ovirt-engine.

The Space Shooters plugin should not be in the Administration Guide, despite what this bug says. The Space Shooters plugin should be in the Developer Guide, probably in an appendix that explains how to deploy UI Plugins. The section in the Administration Guide describing the Shell-in-a-Box plugin will be replaced in the Administration Guide with a section describing the GSS UI plugin. The GSS UI Plugin is included in RHEV 3.3 by default (so I am told, though I have not yet confirmed it), so installation instructions will not be necessary in RHEV 3.3 documentation. It is necessary to write instructions explaining how to install the GSS UI Plugin on RHEV 3.2, however. The section describing the Shell-in-a-Box plugin will be replaced in the RHEV 3.2 documentation with a section describing the GSS UI Plugin. Because the GSS UI Plugin is not installed by default in RHEV 3.2, a section explaining its installation and configuration must be written. This section will be released as a part of the 3.2.z release upcoming in mid-August.

Now, "Using Red Hat Support Plugin" is in the RHEV 3.3 Admin Guide. Moving to ON_QA.
