Hi Simone,
Thanks for your response.
Could you please attach/share hosted-engine-setup, vdsm, supervdsm
and =
host-deploy (on the engine VM) logs?
I was on the IRC channel yesterday (username: protoporpoise) and user =
'zipur' suggested that although the self-hosted engine documentation =
doesn't mention it - they thought that perhaps oVirt doesn't support =
having it's management network setup (bridged) to a bonded interface.
It does indeed seem like the documentation is a bit fragmented between =
the three major install options (self-hosted engine vs engine vs the =
appliance-like ISO (I think this was called oVirt live?)).
In addition, we usually remove NetworkManager as part of our normal / =
existing CentOS 7 SOE as we believe it's not ready for server =
deployments (yet, maybe it's OK in the latest Fedora), however it =
appears oVirt depends on it.
I noticed it generates a big mess of ifcfg files in =
sysconfig/network-scripts/ , and often changing configuration using =
nmtui / nmcli / editing files gives inconsistent results and nmtui =
actually adds a lot of options to bonded interfaces without notifying =
you or letting you set / change them (for example, with LACP, you can't =
set the lacp_rate to fast, and it sets it to slow for some reason), so =
this wasn't helping the confusion.
Today I'm going to try installing oVirt hosted-engine on CentOS 7.4 =
without the network interfaces being bonded.
Yes, currently ovirt-hosted-engine-cleanup is not able to revert to =
initial network configuration but hosted-engine-setup is supposed to be =
able to consume an existing management bridge.
That's definitely what I experienced yesterday and found it easier =
(although very time consuming) to completely reinstall the entire OS =
each time to get to a 'clean' state to test the install on.
I also had to blkdiscard / zero out the iSCSI LUN, otherwise the =
installer would either crash out, or complain that it can't be used.
Wish me luck for trying the install without bonded interfaces today - =
I'll update this thread with my results and if I'm still having problems =
I'll compile the logs up and provide them (off-list), is there anyone =
else that I should send them to other than yourself?
If I find inconsistent documentation, I'll try to make notes as to where =
and then submit merge requests to the site when possible.
Thanks again, I'll be on the IRC channel all day.
