[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,
