Hello,
I'm new to oVirt world and I was very excited before testing it. Several mi=
nutes after trying to test, I feel less excited because of many early issue=
s. I hope you'll be able to help me. Here is my story.
I've installed ovirt-engine on Fedora 16 VM(ESXi 4.1) and I have installed =
an ovirt-node 2.3.0-1.0.fc16 from iso on a Dell Poweredge 2950 server.
The ovirt-engine is running just fine.
Problems come with the ovirt-node.
First, during installation, language selection is broken : it does not work=
. I have selected French keyboard, and layout remained QWERTY (French layou=
t is AZERTY)
Then, after installation, you login (with the broken layout it's boring to =
enter 'admin') but as a VMWare user, you like the feeling that looks like V=
MWare. Good point.
Ok, now you can change the keyboard layout again..., let's do this. You do =
it a first time : still not working (when you enter a hostname for example)=
. Let's do it a second time : "Fuck!!!". Python has just output tons of
nas=
ty messages about recursion depth issues and you cannot see the menu anymor=
e...So you reboot the host, take a coffee while it is testing its RAM, and =
avoid going into the keyboard layout menu again because you fear for your l=
oss time.
You enable SSH, you register with ovirt-engine, fine, you should be able to=
work now.
Let's see what you can do with SSH from your workstation :
"Fuck!!" (again), you now have to mirror the broken keyboard layout to type=
it correctly. So nasty...
Ok, you have the ncurse menu. And then, after several seconds, you loose SS=
H connection. WTF ?! You cannot connect again. You have to go to the server=
lab because you don't have IP KVM for remote display.
Keep cool, maybe you'll be able to see what's going on from the ovirt-engin=
e GUI. Nice, this guy has seen the node, so you approve it. Host is up. No,=
wait for it... down after 30s. Engine cannot connect to node anymore.
You still don't have remote display on your node. You loose.
I will move to the node display tomorrow to see what's happening to it. I s=
uppose I will need to give you tons of dump later.
I know this is free software, but free software does not mean broken softwa=
re.
I'm a bit afraid with my first experience with this one.
Do you know those issues ?! I have looked at bug tracker, there is no post =
about all those problems.
Will I get more chance by installing VDSM on raw Fedora or whatever than wi=
th ovirt-node ?
Guys, thanks for your time.
Vince
