[ovirt-users] Re: hosted engine installation / multipath / iscsi

Hi, since several days i try to install the hosted engine initially to an iscsi multipath device without success. Some information on the environment: - Version 4.3.3 - using two 10gbe interfaces as single bond for the ovirtmgmt interface - using two 10gbe storage interfaces on each hypervisor for iscsi storage -- each storage interface is configured without any bonding, etc -- each storage interface lives in a separate vlan were also the iscsi Portals/target are available, the iscsi portals have 4x10ge interfaces each, (2 in vlan xx and 2 interfaces in vlan yy ) -- so; each storage interface is connected to two iscsi Portals via 4 interfaces The documentation here is for me unclear: https://ovirt.org/documentation/self-hosted/chap-Deploying_Self-Hosted_En... >Note: To specify more than one iSCSI target, you must enable multipathing before deploying the self-hosted engine. There is also a Multipath >Helper tool that generates a script to install and configure multipath with different options. This indicates for me that it should be possbile to install the HE directly on the /dev/mapper/mpath device which is availibale when I have prepared the host accordingly before installing the HE (log in to multiple iscsi targets, create proper multipath,conf, etc) - right ? I login to the two iscsi portals and get in sum 8 pathes, 4 from each interface and iscsi target. Basically I have then the mpath device on the hypervisor available and i can mount the mpath device and put data on it. In the cockpit interface the mount can also be activated and is recognized correctly. multipathd -ll and lsblk looks good. Everything seems to be fine. But when I run the "hosted-engine" --deploy, the last option while running the assistant is to enter the iscsi data. So, basically i just want to define my mpath device - when entering the data (ip, port)for the iscsi Portal I can see the 4 pathes of the single hosted Engine target, and when i choose the path where the "lun" is finally available it fails. I think in general this option is not that what i want to have here for using the multipath device. I' m lost - what is the usual way to install the HE on a multipath device ? Do i have to change the configuration of the storage interfaces or the iscsi network design? Did I missed something obvious ? Can I put in my multipath data into the answerfile to get rid of the last step of the assistant ? Can I use the related ansible role for specify the Mpath device which is available when activating the multipath service ? Is it not possible in general ?? : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1193961 Sorry in advance for the long mail .... 1!^^
