[Users] installing ovirt engine on CentOS

Hi, I want to install oVirt on a one-node-CentOS. So I found these two guides that I wanted to follow: http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Installing_ovirt-engine_from_rpm http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Installing_VDSM_from_rpm But then I got stuck on this step: # yum install -y ovirt-engine The errors I received was some packages had to low version number, and some was missing. ---- snip ---- Error: Package: ovirt-engine-jboss-deps-3.0.0_0001-1.6.fc16.x86_64 (ovirt-engine-stable) Requires: hsqldb >= 1:1.8.0.10-9 Available: 1:hsqldb-1.8.0.10-8.el6.x86_64 (base) hsqldb = 1:1.8.0.10-8.el6 Error: Package: ovirt-engine-log-collector-3.0.0_0001-1.6.fc16.x86_64 (ovirt-engine-stable) Requires: python(abi) = 2.7 Installed: python-2.6.6-29.el6.x86_64 (@anaconda-CentOS-201112091719.x86_64/6.2) python(abi) = 2.6 Error: Package: ovirt-engine-jboss-deps-3.0.0_0001-1.6.fc16.x86_64 (ovirt-engine-stable) Requires: jakarta-commons-discovery >= 1:0.4-7 Available: 1:jakarta-commons-discovery-0.4-5.4.el6.noarch (base) jakarta-commons-discovery = 1:0.4-5.4.el6 Error: Package: ovirt-engine-tools-common-3.0.0_0001-1.6.fc16.x86_64 (ovirt-engine-stable) Requires: jakarta-commons-configuration Error: Package: ovirt-engine-tools-common-3.0.0_0001-1.6.fc16.x86_64 (ovirt-engine-stable) Requires: jakarta-commons-jxpath Error: Package: ovirt-engine-3.0.0_0001-1.6.fc16.x86_64 (ovirt-engine-stable) Requires: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.14)(64bit) ---- snip ---- Is there a way to install oVirt on CentOS 6.2 or RHEL 6.2? Has it been done with the latest stable release? Currently I have CentOS 6.2 installed with CentOS-Base, CentOS-Updates, CentOS-Extras and EPEL repositories installed. I would rather run CentOS than Fedora on this Virtualization Server since CentOS feels a bit more stable than Fedora. Regards, Elias

[Users] Why is the interface change after host install?

[Users] Question for data domains
by Dominic Kaiser 09 Mar '12

09 Mar '12

Hello all, I had a question yesterday about storage domains having a permissions denied error. Something I forgot to ask is can you use a data domain like a master data domain? Meaning can you spin up virtual machines system drives on a non master data domain?

[Users] Make dependant on git

Hi, I wanna create rpms from the source, latest stable tarball. [root@virtual ovirt-engine]# make rpm tar zcf ovirt-engine-3.0.0_0001.tar.gz `git ls-files` fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information. make: *** [ovirt-engine-3.0.0_0001.tar.gz] Error 2 [root@virtual ovirt-engine]# make srpm tar zcf ovirt-engine-3.0.0_0001.tar.gz `git ls-files` fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information. make: *** [ovirt-engine-3.0.0_0001.tar.gz] Error 2 Problem is I did not fetch ovirt git repo. Shouldn't tar populate the files it should tar in some other way perhaps? /Raboo

Re: [Users] Can I bypass VDSM?
by Andrew Cathrow 09 Mar '12

If you still want to use the ovirt-engine then this isn't an option, but if you want to handle all the management yourself than this will work. "Li, David" <LiD(a)cloudshield.com> wrote: Hi, Is it possible to bypass VDSM but use libvirt directly to manage ovirt node? David

[Users] having problem with a storage node
by Dominic Kaiser 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

I am using openfiler for my baremetal storage node. It is an NFS share all permissions are right. I currently have a master data node setup the same way and working fine. I was trying to use this data NFS as another storage node to create virtual disks on to run vms. I can attach fine and create disks fine but cannot run a vm. Here is the error: VM fs1 is down. Exit message internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: qemu-kvm: -drive file=/rhev/data-center/c10c25e0-526a-11e1-a5e4-87fa674ffb5d/60a1dff7-f112-433b-b49d-94a14b9ce3f1/images/cfecc532-9a2e-45f5-af71-190b8447c47d/100321d7-f575-4b3b-9af5-d25d765e779f,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=raw,serial=f5-af71-190b8447c47d,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop,aio=threads: could not open disk image /rhev/data-center/c10c25e0-526a-11e1-a5e4-87fa674ffb5d/60a1dff7-f112-433b-b49d-94a14b9ce3f1/images/cfecc532-9a2e-45f5-af71-190b8447c47d/100321d7-f575-4b3b-9af5-d25d765e779f: Permission denied . Again permissions are set fine vdsm owns them and can access and create disks just cannot run the vm.

[Users] missing iso files?
by Joe Pruett 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

the docs imply that the virtio and guest tools isos should be installed in the premade iso storage area, but nothing was setup on my install. furthermore the files that should be in /usr/share are not there either. is this something that isn't in ovirt, but only in rhev? or did something mess up in my install?

[Users] doc/ui mismatch for memory overcommit
by Joe Pruett 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

the docs say that server is 150% and desktop is 200%, but the ui has the opposite. it seems like server at 150% makes more sense. is it just the text in the ui that is wrong?

[Users] Data center is "non-responsive" after a reboot
by Terry Phelps 07 Mar '12

07 Mar '12

I have a pretty new ovirt/vsdm-combined installation on a Fedora 16 host. It was running okay, and then I applied a bunch of Fedora patches, and rebooted the box. Now, ovirt shows my data center as "non-responsive". What might be wrong? What can I look at to get more information?

[Users] proliant errors trying to install ovirt-node image
by Joe Pruett 07 Mar '12

07 Mar '12

i've already found the info on the list about the "global name 'disk' not defined" error and i've tried both an iso from the jenkins url listed, as well as creating my own git area using the 2.2.3 tagged code and making the one line change to fix that python error. but neither of those images work either. i get a generic "ovirt node hypervisor installation failed" message. i've poked around the log viewers and at the end i see it complaining that the gpt partition label has no bios bootable partition, but it isn't clear if that is really the issue. i'm wondering if there might be more cciss driver issues. i haven't dug into the source to figure out the root pw so i could more easily look at the log files or export them. can someone enlighten me with that more quickly than i can find it? what is the best procedure to follow to try and get to the bottom of issues like this? might i be better off installing a regular os and then installing the vdsm package?
