Deploying training lab
by Andy Michielsen 01 Aug '17

Hello all, Don't know if this is the right place to ask this but I would like to set up a trainingslab with oVirt. I have deployed an engine and a host with local storage and want to run 1 server and 5 desktops off it. But the desktops will be used on thin clients or old laptops with some minimal os installation running spice client or a webbrowser. I was wondering if anyone can give me pointer in how to set up a minimal laptop which only need to run an spice client. Kind regards.

Re: [ovirt-users] Yum error while installing host on Centos7

where did you manually install the packages ? engine or host machine ? you can you provide the engine.log to see what might cause the error on the engine's side. maybe rollback the last yum transaction you did and try to run the engine again. as far as for the host installation you might need to check the exiting repositories (Cenots or other existing repos on the machine) , its not recommended to use --skip-broken usually when adding a host.

Hi Pavol I have similar requirement for Ovirt 4.1 PXE boot on UEFI enabled systems, however not able to do successful kickstart installation. Facing two issues 1) nodectl init or imgbase layout —init not working because of the reason commands not found 2) System keeps on network install cycle due to boot loader not been set or not installed - I don’t know sure exactly why? Could you please help with these issues? kickstart file contents —————————- liveimg —url=http:/../../squasfs.img <— path shortened ignoredisk —all —initlabel zerombr clearpart —all —initlabel autopart —type=thinp bootloader —location=mbr text reboot %post —erroronfail nodectl init %end Regards Kamarasu
