Hi,
the cinder container is broken since a while, since when the kollaglue
changed the installation method upstream, AFAIK.
Also, it seems that even the latest ovirt 4.0 pulls down the "kilo" version
of openstack, so you will need to install yours if you need a more recent
one.
We are using a VM managed by ovirt itself for keystone/glance/cinder with
our ceph cluster, and it works quite well with the Mitaka version, which is
the latest one. The DB is hosted outside, so that even if we loose the VM we
don't loose the state, besides all performance reasons. The installation is
not using containers, but installing the services directly via
puppet/Foreman.
So far we are happily using ceph in this way. The only drawback of this
setup is that if the VM is not up we cannot start machines with ceph volumes
attached, but the running machines survives without problems even if the
cinder VM is down.
Thanks for the info Alessandro!
This seems like the best way to run cinder/ceph, using other storage for
these vms, so cinder vm does not depend on the vm managing the
storage it runs on.
If you use highly available vms, ovirt will make sure they are up all the time,
and will migrated them to other hosts when needed.
