<body>Hi,<br><br>Can someone point me to instructions for building a CentOS server that would be ready for installing the self hosted node.<br><br>I have a 7x 500GB HD, 16 GB RAM, i7 computer that I have installed CentOS 6.5 (Software RAID6) to and would now like to install the self-hosted-engine.<br><br>While I do have experience with Debian as a server and some experience with CentOS, I have not so far found any information regarding how to build a basic server ready for installing oVirt packages, for example configuring static IP addresses, hostname, hosts file, maybe NFS shares ? or iSCSI shares ?<br><br>http://www.ovirt.org/Download#Install_oVirt<br><br>Step 6 says "Follow the on screen prompts to configure and install the engine
", however knowing what to supply for the prompts and what to have already configured on your server would be very helpful.<br><br>http://www.ovirt.org/Hosted_Engine_Howto<br>"During the deployment you'll be asked for input on host name, storage path and other relevant information
", it is how to set up the environment for answering these questions that I would like assistance with (e.g. a HowTo ?)<br><br><br>I have once before installed the "ovirt-engine-setup-plugin-allinone" in a VMware Workstation VM, but not without many challenges.<br><br>I would now like to install the "ovirt-hosted-engine-ha"<br><br>The second prompt said "Please specify the full shared storage connection path to use (example: host:/path):", however it does not say that it will create this or whether you need to have this created earlier ? At this time I don't have a static IP address nor the hosts file containing the host name, this is just a newly built CentOS server with minimum GUI, updates applied and no other changes. So is there any documentation which would explain what other changes are needed and how to do this?<br><br>http://www.ovirt.org/Quick_Start_Guide<br>Two packages, ovirt-hosted-engine-setup and ovirt-hosted-engine-ha
provide the setup and services necessary to deploy a self-hosted-engine
oVirt environment. For more on the oVirt Self-Hosted Engine, see the
oVirt Installation Guide.
