Re: [ovirt-users] oVirt 4.2 Fresh Install - Storage Domain

2018-03-18 Thread Maton, Brett 
Right fresh install of CentOS 7.4 all updated

Installed ovirt using the repositories from provided by ovirt-release42.rpm

The install seems to go fine, once the hosted engine is up /var/log/message
is getting filled with the following messages:

journal: ovirt-ha-agent
ovirt_hosted_engine_ha.agent.hosted_engine.HostedEngine.config ERROR Unable
to identify the OVF_STORE volume, falling back to initial vm.conf. Please
ensure you already added your first data domain for regular VMs


I've added a new storage domain as used to be required, but as Nir
suggested earlier the expected behaviour in 4.2 is that the hosted_storage
domain remains master and /var/log/messages continues to fill with the
above messages.



One other niggle I've found in the current installer is the space required
to generate hosted_engine, the instructions on this page Deploying
Self-Hosted Engine

suggest that the installer will check that there is enough available space
or prompt for an alternative location if there isn't enough at /var/tmp.
Actually it does neither and fails the deployment only saying to check the
log files for a possible cause.

Ok, that does make sense.

No need to flatten the host, I think the behavior is expected in 4.2. The
installation process
was streamlines and there is no need now to create another storage domain
to force the
system to import the hosted engine domain.

Since the hosted engine storage domain cannot be deactivated, using it for
master is good.
it meas you can deactivate any other storage domain if needed.

Maybe the documentation needs update?

Re: [ovirt-users] oVirt 4.2 Fresh Install - Storage Domain

2018-03-18 Thread Maton, Brett 
Yes, both are on NFS and both are mounted.

For what it's worth all the storage this cluster will connect to is on the
same NAS device, same permissions etc etc, and it does connect it's just
not 'flipping' the master domain.

This is the first time I've tried a fresh install of 4.2.1.7-1.el7.centos,
I generally in-place upgrade on this cluster.

 If there are any logs they might give a clue as to what's happening I'm
happy to shre those.

In the mean time I'll flatten the host and deploy from scratch again.

you need to configure first a domain (can be temporary) then, import the
