The local storage (#1), ISO Domain (#2) suddenly are available. This is definitely non-intuitive behaviour. i can't see why the DC has to have additional storage added to make it work. It already has it's storage - which is available for use when creating VMS. The DC should just come up and if there is an issue putting VMs on the host_storage (space issues maybe?) then it shouldn't be allowed as a choice when creating a VM or there should be a message about not enough space. Well, now I know I can work with it and just wonder why it was designed this way. Very strange.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>On Sat, 2016-02-27 at 18:01 -0500, Brett I.

I've used ESXi for quite a while and done some work with Microsoft's Hypervisor but am new to oVirt. It looks like it has potential to replace the others but there are some major issues I'm trying to work through. I'm using a hosted-engine deployment.

I have more than 15 Gig of space available. Shouldn't it be showing up in the list of storages? I tested using this (<a href="http://www.ovirt.org/documentation/how-to/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-nfs-storage-issues/">http://www.ovirt.org/documentation/how-to/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-nfs-storage-issues/</a>) and from the host I can mount the engine's exported directory and create a file in it as the vdsm user.</div><div><br></div><div>3. My host wants confirmation it's rebooted which it has been both with hosted-engine vm-shutdown/vm-start, and rebooting from within the engine. If I tell it to confirm I get the message below. Well, it's status is running. i can't connect when it's connecting or non-operational!! I've put the system into maintenance mode with hosted-engine commands, I used the context menu on the hosted-engine vm in the portal to put it into maintenance but it still refuses to confirm it's rebooted. Any ideas on how to get it confirmed. I've also rebooted the hosted-engine host with no change.</div><div><br></div><div>"Error while executing action: Cannot confirm 'Host has been rebooted'
Host. Valid Host statuses are "Non operational", "Maintenance" or
"Connecting"."</div><div><br></div><div>4. My Default Data Center is uninitialized which is probably why nothing works. If I use guide me and attach the hosted_engine choice it tells me it cannot acquire a host id. I restarted the sanlock service and then when I attached the storage the dialog hung up spinning it's wheel and never returned. I restarted the VM from hosted-engine and still get the AcquireHostId failure. The iSCSI lun is being used and accessed by the engine as there is 3+ gig of space used. If I try and attach the hosted_engine storage the icon changes to a wrench, then back to the red down arrow and I get the error about not acquiring a host id. What host id? I only have one host! I've reinitialized the lockspace all with no effect. The /var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log has this error. What invalid argument? I've seen some bug reports on this but they are back in version 3.3 or so and are supposed to be fixed.</div><div><br></div><div>Command 'org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.storage.AddStoragePoolWithStoragesCommand' f</div><div>ailed: EngineException: org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.vdsbroker.VDSErrorException: VDSGenericExcep</div><div>tion: VDSErrorException: Failed to CreateStoragePoolVDS, error = Cannot acquire host id: ('1d26d977-</div><div>0a67-43ab-bfb8-462cea95029a', SanlockException(22, 'Sanlock lockspace add failure', 'Invalid argumen</div><div>t')), code = 661 (Failed with error AcquireHostIdFailure and code 661)</div><div><br></div><div>Any help is appreciated.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><pre>_______________________________________________
