[ovirt-users] Re: oVirt Self-hosted Engine Deployment fails

Hi, I am struggling to get an oVirt cluster setup (for a PoC with some workstations) for the past more than one week and am getting nowhere. Following is my environment: Machine: Dell Workstation with i7, 16G RAM, 256G (I have got couple of more of this machine but could not getr beyond the first one) OS: oVirt minimal (https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.5/iso/ovirt-node-ng-installer/4.5...) Documentation followed: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/installing_ovirt_as_a_self-hosted_eng... Cluster name chosen: my.cluster First node host name: node1-ovirt.my.cluster Engine VM name: ovirt-engine.my.cluster The documentation states that there should be resolvable DNS entries for both the oVirt hosts *as well as* for the oVirt engine VM. I am a bit confused on this as the VM will get a DHCP address only after running the 'hosted-engine' script. What ip address should I have for the engine VM (say if I have my engine host name as ovirt-engine.my.cluster)? If I have no entry for the engine in the DNS I get the following error: [ ERROR ] Host name is not valid: ovirt-engine.my.cluster did not resolve into an IP address Please provide the FQDN you would like to use for the engine. Note: This will be the FQDN of the engine VM you are now going to launch, it should not point to the base host or to any other existing machine. Engine VM FQDN: So I simply added an entry for 'ovirt-engine.my.cluster' with a dummy value 192.168.0.222 (this is an ip address on the host subnet; but the engine gets a DHCP address from a different subnet from a virtual network from the host; I dont understand this) which moves away from the above problem and goes all the way (after providing the values for a few other questions) to hang at 'Wait for the host to be up' for a while and eventually fail with an error message: [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Host is not up, please check logs, perhaps also on the engine machine"} At this point a vm is running in the host. I logged on to the VM and searched the logs and found the following line in the /var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log: ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.common.utils.ansible.AnsibleExecutor] (EE-ManagedThreadFactory-engine-Thread-1) [728b2edd-d13a-48c3-a2c1-42a66a5334c5] Exception: Task Install ovs failed to execute.
