install of 4.2 self hosted engine.<br>
<br>
Right after install, I tried to add local storage. I
tried to put the hosted engine VM into maint mode, but
it forever just sat there in the going into maint state,
and never actually went into maint state.<br>
<br>
The default Datacenter was in uninitialized state.<br>
<br>
So I tried adding an NFS storage domain, which
initialized the datacenter. Now when I try and put the
hosted engine VM into maint mode I get: Cannot switch
the hosts to maintenance mode. There are no available
hosts capable of running the engine VM.<br>
<br>
What am I doing wrong?<br>

This is bad terminology on oVirt's part. I was wanting to add local
SATA disk as I have a 1 node environment with no shared storage. To
accomplish what I really wanted to do, I had to change the
datacenter storage type to local storage, the a local file system
option appeared in the create new storage domain diaglog.<br>
<br>
oVirt/RHEV team really needs a good documentation writer, as this
storage option isn't even documented in the storage section of the
administration guide.<br>
<br>
Installing my first 4.2 system, and it's obvious the documentation
writer hasn't sat down and down and done a clean install. Lots of
stuff missing.<br>
<br>
I've never looked at Proxmox, but it's taking the hobbyist and small
environment virtualization world by storm, especially after Xen's
latest licensing changes. oVirt should have this. But it's way too
complicated and way too fragile and way under documented.<br>
