[ovirt-devel] ovirt-system-tests: engine fqdn, dns domain name, etc

Hi all, Current [1] is broken - it misses the domain name. After spending several hours on this last few days, I decided to give up for now and just fix by appending hard-coded 'lago.local'. I am testing locally, and if it passes, I'll push to gerrit. Going forward, I'd like to have as few as possible guesses and hard-coded strings that must match: - Engine fqdn should be hard-coded, arbitrary (but not "engine", as explained), ideally in a single place, propagated from there as needed - storage server (used in HE suites) should also be hard-coded and not guessed from the engine machine name like now - Same for domain name ("lago.local") - Since it's hard to read lago init file and parse it to get stuff from it without actually using lago (and even when using it, e.g. I failed to get dns domain name), we should decide on these things before starting lago and inject them into the lagoinitfile (like we do with other stuff via env). - Also, and to better (IMO) match what I think should happen in reality (for real setups), it should all be done on DNS level (dnsmasq of libvirt, controlled by lago, AFAIU), and we should stop playing with /etc/hosts. If there is agreement, I might decide to work on this. Or we can at least open a bug/ticket somewhere :-). For some of my thoughts/attempts along the way, you might want to see [2][3][4]. All are WIP, none work, probably none even is worth the time of a real review. Thoughts/opinions/ideas are most welcome!
