[ovirt-devel] compile vdsm and attach it to a engine

Hi, Thank you for your great job on ovirt and vdsm. Now I devote myself to compile vdsm on centos 6.3 host and attach it to a ovirt engine. But when I attach the host which contains a compiled vdsm to a ovirt engine , the status of the host is always ‘Non Responsive’(step 11 below). I reference the links below: http://www.ovirt.org/Vdsm_Developers http://www.ovirt.org/Installing_VDSM_from_rpm The steps( 1-9 ) are executed on centos6.3 host, and the steps(10--11) are executed on ovirt engine. So I would be very grateful if you can give me some clues that if I've missed anything or I done something wrong. The attachment is the same as the bellow which makes it easier for you to read. 1 Deployment platform Centos6.3 Linux bogon 2.6.32-431.20.3.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jun 19 21:14:45 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Ip ： 10.1.8.252 CPU supports hardware virtualization extensions: # cat /proc/cpuinfo | egrep 'svm|vmx'| grep nx flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx rdtscp lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good xtopology nonstop_tsc aperfmperf pni pclmulqdq dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm pcid sse4_1 sse4_2 popcnt tsc_deadline_timer xsave lahf_lm arat epb xsaveopt pln pts dts tpr_shadow vnmi flexpriority ept vpid flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx rdtscp lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good xtopology nonstop_tsc aperfmperf pni pclmulqdq dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm pcid sse4_1 sse4_2 popcnt tsc_deadline_timer xsave lahf_lm arat epb xsaveopt pln pts dts tpr_shadow vnmi flexpriority ept vpid 2 Apply all updates # yum -y update 3 Installing required packages RHEL 6 users must add EPEL yum repository for installing python-ordereddict and pyton-pthreading.

RHEL 6 users must install a newer pep8 version than the one shipped in EPEL6. Older pep8 versions have a bug that's tickled by vdsm. You can use `pip`, or yum install http://danken.fedorapeople.org/python-pep8-1.4.5-2.el6.noarch.rpm oVirt repo: yum install http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/ovirt-release.noarch.rpm RHEL 6 users must add the glusterfs repository, providing newer glusterfs not available on RHEL 6.

To ease this process vdsm provides a utility (vdsm-tool). To perform full reconfiguration of external services perform: # vdsm-tool configure --force (for more information read "vdsm-tool --help") 7 Finally start the vdsmd service # service vdsmd start 8 Yum install -y bridge-utils Configuring the bridge Interface as below Disable the network manager service by executing as root: systemctl stop NetworkManager.service systemctl disable NetworkManager.service service network start chkconfig network on Add the following content into a new file named: */etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ovirtmgmt*: DEVICE=ovirtmgmt TYPE=Bridge ONBOOT=yes DELAY=0 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=10.1.8.252 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY=10.1.8.254 Add the following line into the configuration file of your out going interface (usually em1/eth0) the file is located at: */etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-em1* (assuming the device is em1) BRIDGE=ovirtmgmt and remove the IPADDR, NETMASK and BOOTPROTO keys, since the interface should not have an IP address of its own. Full Example DEVICE=em1 ONBOOT=yes BRIDGE=ovirtmgmt Restart the network service by executing: service network restart *Note that if any other bridge (from ovirtmgmt) is present at the time of host installation, the bridge creation operation is skipped and you have to change the bridge settings to correspond to above shown configuration manually.* *9 Configuring VDSM* Add the following content into the file: */etc/vdsm/vdsm.conf* (you may need to create that file): [vars] ssl = false Restart the vdsmd service by executing: service vdsmd restart If Vdsm was started earlier with ssl=true, it would refuse to start and you may need to use the undocumented verb service vdsmd reconfigure service vdsmd start which edits */etc/libvirt/qemu.conf* and changes *spice_tls=1* to *spice_tls=0*. 10 Connect to overt-engine *ref: OVirt_-_connecting_development_vdsm_to_ovirt_engine <http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_-_connecting_development_vdsm_to_ovirt_engine&... *su - postgres -c "psql engine -c \"UPDATE vdc_options set option_value = 'true' where option_name = 'InstallVds'\""* *service overt-engine restart* 11 Attach the host to the engine I login the engine Administration Portal , and attach the centos host to a cluster. But it failed.
