Re: [Engine-devel] hosted engine in 3.4

Hi, >>> 1. You need to have some MAC address with static ip and FQDN, otherwise >>> you have to change /etc/hosts at least for the first part of the setup I believe you were there when we were discussing this with pstehlik :) Btw in this case you have to change /etc/hosts on all hosts and inside the engine VM. >>> 2. When the VM install is complete I would expect the setup wizard to >>> install the engine to the VM automatically - which at least in my case - >>> doesn't happen I also proposed kickstart based setup to Sandro. You would give a repo to setup and it would download the kernel/initrd from it [1] and create a kickstart with the right root password, engine setup and so on..

Especially the content of /usr/share/vdsm/dsaversion.py file. There are couple of lists specifying the cluster and engine versions that the VDSM supports. If you use 3.4 engine it needs 3.4 VDSM as well.. and the prerelease repo is not enabled by default. >>> mistake I think the engine should be a bit more clever and not kill itself >> I think it is the VDSM that does the actual killing :) But overall I agree, the setup is too fragile and I encountered all of the issues when installing hosted engine for the first time too.
