<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hello Charles,<br><br></div>The solution I came up with to
solve this problem was to use RDO. I have oVirt engine running on
dedicated hardware. The best way to have oVirt engine and RDO running on
the same hardware is to build a VM on the same hardware as the engine
with virt manager or virsh using the local disk as storage (you could
possibly replace the VM with docker but I never explored that option). I
found it necessary to do this because the oVirt engine and RDO http
configs didn't play well together. They could probably be made to work
on the same OS instance, but it was taking much more time than I wanted
to figure out how to make httpd work with both. Once the VM is up and
running I set up the RDO repos on it and installed packstack. Use
packstack to generate an answers file, then go through the answers file
and set it up so that it only installs Cinder, Keystone, MariaDB, and
RabbitMQ. These are the only necessary pieces of openstack for cinder to
work correctly. Once it is installed you need to configure cinder and
keystone how you want since they only come with the admin
tenant,user,project,etc... I set up a ovirt user,tenant,project and
configured cinder to use my ceph cluster/pool. <br><br></div>It is much
simpler to do than that long paragraph may make it seem at first. I've
also tested using CephFS as a POSIX storage domain in oVirt. It works
but in my experience there was at least a 25% performance decrease over
Cinder/RBD.<br><br></div>Kevin<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jun 24, 2016 at 3:23 PM, Charles Gomes <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cgomes@clearpoolgroup.com" target="_blank">cgomes@clearpoolgroup.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
