Subject: [Users] proliant errors trying to install ovirt-node image
i've already found the info on the list about the "global name 'disk'
not defined" error and i've tried both an iso from the jenkins url
listed, as well as creating my own git area using the 2.2.3 tagged code
and making the one line change to fix that python error. but neither
of
those images work either. i get a generic "ovirt node hypervisor
installation failed" message. i've poked around the log viewers and at
the end i see it complaining that the gpt partition label has no bios
bootable partition, but it isn't clear if that is really the issue.

<pre wrap="">I ran into the same problems as you when trying to install on a
HP ProLiant BL460c G1 blade.
The Red Hat Bugzilla report #798030 "TUI Installation fails with
Grub error" seems to address exactly this kind of problem.
The grub2-setup complaining has got its reason: In file script/storage.py
the disk partitioning is done using a GPT, but no partition with
flag bios_grub is created.
I modified the source (mis-)using the first partition (EFI partition)
in case of a non-EFI boot as a bios_grub flagged partition. This
partition is much bigger than necessary (grub2.info recommends one
or two MB), thus leaving some room for optimization for the experts when
fixing the problem.
Please find the patch that allowed successful installation in the
attachment.

Can you submit this through gerrit, its looks fine to me and I don't
see any problem merging it.<br>

<pre wrap="">i'm
wondering if there might be more cciss driver issues.
i haven't dug into the source to figure out the root pw so i could more
easily look at the log files or export them. can someone enlighten me
with that more quickly than i can find it?

<pre wrap="">As I am stuck to reading log files online or exporting them via screen shots,
I am also interested in learning about better ways of exporting.

The root password isn't set by default, you can however press F2
inside the installer or the configuration menus to get to a shell
prompt and setup networking to get logs off there.<br>

what is the best procedure to follow to try and get to the bottom of
issues like this? might i be better off installing a regular os and
then installing the vdsm package?
</pre>
</blockquote>
<pre wrap="">Installing Fedora 16 on the same kind of blade worked for me without any
problems. Therefore the "regular os + vdsm rpms" approach could help
you to sidestep the failing ovirt-node installation, but it will probably
not help you in analyzing and fixing ovirt-node related installation issues.
