[Users] ovirt-engine 32bit
by Cristian Falcas 12 Dec '11

Hello, I want to ask why is the ovirt-engine only available on 64bit platform in the repo? I successfully run the jboss from the repo and one compiled on a 32bit machine. For me it seems that this is a limitation: for small deployments, the engine can be setup on an already running machine. And that machine can be quite old, but it will cope with the engine very well. Best regards, Cristian Falcas

[Users] Trouble making ovirt-node image
by Federico Alberto Sayd 07 Dec '11

07 Dec '11

Hello: I am trying to implement Ovirt in a testing datacenter. I have installed Ovirt-Engine from rpm on Fedora 16 and all is Ok. I can access the web management without problem. My problem is with Ovirt-Node. I followed the guide in: http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Node_Building. I used the same Fedora 16 installation for building the node iso. I followed all steps, but the iso creation failed. The docs dont say, but I had to install at least the ovirt-node-tools, I don't know if also I have to install ovirt-node rpm from $BASEDIR/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch The output of make ovirt-node-image.iso is in pastebin: http://pastebin.com/2U6NezuE There is not yet a prebuilt image of Ovirt available? Thanks! Any help is appreciated

Sorry if this message will appear twice, but I received an email that the message I sent was too long, so: I've tried to make today ~6 installations (all with qemu-kvm on cow images). The installation finished successfully on 2 of them. The only thing different on those 2 successes was that the password for the admin user was not flagged as "weak". Maybe I was just lucky. Best regards,

[Users] ovirt-node test
by Cristian Falcas 06 Dec '11

Hi, I was thinking that maybe it may be helpfull to add at the end of http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Node_Building a way to test the newly created iso. For me, it worked with this (presumably you have an interface with ip 10.10.10.10 on the host): qemu-kvm -m 512 -cdrom ovirt-node-image.iso -net nic,model=virtio -net user,net=10.10.10.20/24,host=10.10.10.10,dhcpstart=10.10.10.20 In this setup it looks like the connection is only from the guest to the host. Of course, you need to set a root password (as explained from my knowledge only on this list) and after logging in to do dhclient eth0. There is any way to specify a way to get the ip from dhcp at boot time? Best regards, Cristi

[Users] problems creating ovirt-node

Hi, I tried today to create a new iso, but each time it fails with this error: Error creating Live CD : Failed to find package 'vdsm-cli' : No package(s) available to install The thing that is bothering me is that it worked ok yesterday. All the steps I perform are those, as an ordinary user (it fails at make ovirt-node-image.iso ): BASEDIR=$(rpm --eval %_topdir) sudo rm -rf ./ovirt-node sudo rm -rf $BASEDIR git clone http://gerrit.ovirt.org/p/ovirt-node.git cd ovirt-node mkdir -p $BASEDIR/{BUILD,BUILDROOT,RPMS,RPMS/x86_64,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS} OVIRT_CACHE_DIR=~/ovirt-cache #OVIRT_CACHE_DIR=`pwd`/ovirt-cache mkdir $OVIRT_CACHE_DIR OVIRT_LOCAL_REPO=file://${BASEDIR}/RPMS cd $BASEDIR/RPMS/x86_64 wget http://fsimonce.fedorapeople.org/vdsm/fedora-16/x86_64/vdsm-4.9.0-0.200.g2f… wget http://fsimonce.fedorapeople.org/vdsm/fedora-16/x86_64/vdsm-bootstrap-4.9.0… wget http://fsimonce.fedorapeople.org/vdsm/fedora-16/x86_64/vdsm-cli-4.9.0-0.200… wget http://fsimonce.fedorapeople.org/vdsm/fedora-16/x86_64/vdsm-debug-plugin-4.… wget http://fsimonce.fedorapeople.org/vdsm/fedora-16/x86_64/vdsm-debuginfo-4.9.0… wget http://fsimonce.fedorapeople.org/vdsm/fedora-16/x86_64/vdsm-hook-faqemu-4.9… wget http://fsimonce.fedorapeople.org/vdsm/fedora-16/x86_64/vdsm-hook-vhostmd-4.… wget http://fsimonce.fedorapeople.org/vdsm/fedora-16/x86_64/vdsm-reg-4.9.0-0.200… createrepo ../ cd - ./autogen.sh --with-image-minimizer make rm *tar.gz make dist EXTRA_RELEASE=.$USER$(date +%s) rpmbuild --nodeps --define "extra_release $EXTRA_RELEASE" -ta --clean *.tar.gz cd recipe make ovirt-node-image.iso Am I doing something wrong?
