<br>
I'm having some trouble installing oVirt 3.6 hosted engine with gluster.<br>
<br>
First of here are the questions that arose:<br>
Do I need separate gluster volumes for the hosted engine and the<br>
other VMs?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes, you need two distinct storage domains.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">
If yes I'm guessing the same optimizations apply to the /engine<br>
volume as to the other volume as described in<br>

<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Absolutely.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">
Post installation the storage tab is completely empty though I did<br>
create an NFS ISO domain during the hosted-engine --deploy process.<br>
Is that normal behavior?<br>
<br>
Should the engine gluster volume be manually imported ('Import<br>
Domain') or is this volume never visible?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>It should be automatically imported but we have a know open bug on that:</div><div><a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1269768">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1269768</a><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">
<br>
If I have a separate VM volume I guess I need to create a 'New<br>
Domain'. If I do that the over lay window in the UI that allows me<br>
to enter the glusterfs connection details clears. I see an animated<br>
circle in the middle but nothing happens. There is no entry in the<br>
engine log or the in any host log. If I wait long enough the UI<br>
terminates the session and I'm at the login again.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>This one seams a new issue.</div><div>Can you please attach VDSM from your host?</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">
<br>
Last question (for now, I promise): The engine VM is not visible in<br>
the UI. Obviously it's running or otherwise there would be no UI.<br>
>From a variety of sources I get the impression that this shouldn't<br>
be but I'm not sure why the engine VM is not showing itself.<br></blockquote><div><br></div>This is a side effect of the Hosted Engine Storage Domain Auto import bug: the engine has to import the hosted-engine storage domain to show the engine VM.<div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">
<br>
Sorry for so many maybe obvious questions but since I'm new to oVirt<br>
im still stumbling around in the dark for things that do not work<br>
according to plan. In case of what should be shown in the UI I'm<br>
still not sure what the plan is.<br>
<br>
To give some background information about my setup:<br>
All machines are running up to date versions of CentOS 7.1 64bit.<br>
I've three dedicated machines for the gluster storage. The replica 3<br>
gluster volumes are created on top of thinly provisioned volumes.<br>
<br>
There are three dedicated hosts for virtualization. On the first I'm<br>
trying a hosted-engine --deploy. The other two machines are unused<br>
since I didn't get everything working as expected.<br>
<br>
The engine, installed during the deploy process, is installed from a<br>
local ISO Centos image. Installation is done manually.<br>
<br>
I've created two gists:<br>
One listing the commands for the gluster volume:<br>

<br>
One listing what I've done to install oVirt:<br>
<a href="https://gist.github.com/tbihawk/adb0a0e7d2a081d63629#file-ovirt-installation-procedure" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://gist.github.com/tbihawk/adb0a0e7d2a081d63629#file-ovirt-installation-procedure</a><br>
<br>
Any help is highly appreciated since I'm kind of stuck.<br>
Thanks!<br>
