Hi
This is the first time I have posted a question on here.
I am attempting to deploy a Self Hosted Engine with RHV 4.4.8, RHEL 8.4 using a PowerFlex
(ScaleIO) volume. I have done this several times in the past with oVirt 4.3.x and 4.4.?
but for some reason on this occasion I am hitting a problem. I think I might know what it
is but I don't know how to fix it. The deployment appears to go fine up until the
point where the question is asked about which storage device I want the HE copied to, I
select Fibre Channel but unfortunately this fails and does not find any suitable devices -
I know that PowerFlex is not technically FC but the devices are recognised by multipathd
and have always worked previously (I was instrumental in getting the udev rules changed in
the PowerFlex 3.6 version to ensure the devices could be recognised by multipathd, whereas
previously it had required a udev rules edit).
The device I am trying to use is this:
# multipath -v2 -l
1abc8aad74a6630f-c4c045df00000000 dm-2 ##,##
size=120G features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='0' wp=rw
`-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=0 status=active
`- #:#:#:# scinia 252:0 active undef running
I can see in the log that the device is being partially discovered but it seems that a
'vendor_id' is wanted and this is something that udev does not report for a
PowerFlex device.

QUESTION/1/OVEHOSTED_STORAGE_DOMAIN_TYPE=str:'fc'
Is there any way I can edit something to prevent this vendor_id being required?
It should be rather simple to patch the deploy code not fail on
missing vendor_id, it's used only for reporting. But it might not be
required, for now. You can try instead something like:
hosted-engine --deploy
--otopi-environment=OVEHOSTED_STORAGE/LunID=str:19eadf533875920f-46da4fac00000000
I didn't try this, not sure it would be enough. If it's not, you might
check the generated answer file from an old successful run and copy
and edit some more relevant lines (those with OVEHOSTED_STORAGE), put
in an answer file, and pass it with --config-append=answerfile.
As I said, this has worked previously so I can only assume something
has been added that now checks this vendor_id
No, the code checking vendor_id didn't change for at least 3 years.
Do you still have setup logs of successful deployments with this
storage (or as similar as possible)? Can you check them? Search for
otopi_fc_devices?
It sounds either as some change on the storage side (does not report
vendor id anymore) or on the engine/sdk/ansible-module/whatever (not
passing it anymore).
Nikolai, did you test FC HE deploy? Can you check logs?
Thanks and best regards,

New subject: Deploy Hosted Engine with PowerFlex (formerly ScaleIO) storage
Hi
Many thanks for your response and the suggestion. I think my memory may be playing tricks
with me, I definitely deployed a few 4.3 systems with self hosted engines and I have one
4.4 environment with a self hosted engine but I cannot remember how long ago it was
deployed, the other 4.4 deployments may well have had the engine residing on a dedicated
host or VM - too many deployments to remember them all clearly :-)
Anyway, I did manage to fix (work around?) the problem, almost before you send your
response. I worked out that the productID and vendorID are merely used for reporting the
details of the discovered FC LUN, by removing any reference to them in
/usr/share/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/plugins/gr-he-ansiblesetup/core/storage_domain.py the
deployment completed successfully.
As far as I know, the reporting from the storage has not changed, running multipath -v2 -l
never showed a vendorID or productID (assuming it is the multipath command that is used to
gather this info).
Thanks for the help!! I will be back I am sure. If anyone has questions on
PowerFlex/ScaleIO, don't be afraid to ask, it works a treat with oVirt/RHV/Oracle
Linux KVM :-)
