Simone,
I repeated the installation process this morning to document the steps and have a clean timestamp for the logs.
This time I got further than before, but still don’t have an operational hosted engine.
--== CONFIGURATION PREVIEW ==--
Engine FQDN : ovirt.ca.stalab.ciena.com
Bridge name : ovirtmgmt
SSH daemon port : 22
Firewall manager : iptables
Gateway address : 10.33.80.1
Host name for web application : bml-21
Host ID : 1
Image alias : hosted_engine
Image size GB : 25
Storage connection : cantap01b.ciena.com:/vol/sta_fast/ovirt35/hosted_engine
Console type : vnc
Memory size MB : 4096
MAC address : 00:16:3e:65:0a:d7
Boot type : cdrom
Number of CPUs : 2
ISO image (for cdrom boot) : /tmp/CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1503-01.iso
CPU Type : model_SandyBridge
Booting the CentOS .iso image and working through the install.
I used the defaults for disk partitioning.
I chose an alternate MAC address in the ovirt setup. The correct MAC address was defined for the VM, but the interface wasn’t enabled.
I enabled it and the install as then able to gather the host info via DHCP.
I set up the root password and alternate account password and proceeded with the install.
No errors were detected.
I rebooted the device to exit the install.
At this point, my VNV window terminated.
At this point previously, I had rebooted the VM from the host with the commands:
· hosted-engine –vm-start
· hosted-engine –add-console-password
· hosted-engine –console
However, this time per the instructions here: http://www.ovirt.org/Hosted_Engine_Howto#Fresh_Install, I chose ‘continue setup’ on the host.
Upon reconnecting with VNC, the VM had booted and was sitting at a login prompt.
Given that the VM was able to boot using continue setup, it seems likely that the install script takes some action that preserves the disk image or changes settings on the VM for a second boot. For example, the second boot likely doesn’t mount the CDROM image. When I was using PXE before, I noticed that when I rebooted the VM manually it always used PXE. It thought it odd at the time, but makes sense now that VM config needs to change between the first boot and the second boot.
I was then able to login as root and perform the following actions:
· yum –y update
· yum –y localinstall http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release35.rpm
· vi /etc/yum.repos.d/ovirt-3.5.repo (change to use baseurl instead or mirrors – mirrors aren’t updated with latest info)
· yum install ovirt-engine
· engine-setup
1.
I tried to continue setup on the host, but it reports that the engine is unreachable.
systemctl start rpcbind
[ ERROR ] Engine is still unreachable
Engine health status page is not yet reachable.
To continue make a selection from the options below:
(1) Continue setup - engine installation is complete
(2) Power off and restart the VM
(3) Abort setup
(4) Destroy VM and abort setup
(1, 2, 3, 4)[1]:
I rebooted the VM, with these commands:
· hosted-engine –vm-start
· hosted-engine –add-console-password
· hosted-engine –console
This did not resolve the problem.
Checking the log file shown above, I see the following detail on the error reported:

What services or other components are missing and preventing the ovirt engine from running?

Simon,
I’m using an exported NFS file system for storage of the VM.
I’m not changing the filesystem type during the CentOS install.
Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide that might be helpful.
I tried it today and it worked as expected with oVirt 3.5.5 and exactly your centos ISO image.
Can you please share /var/log/messages and vdsm logs from your host to check if you had some storage issue?

I’m trying to install ovirt-3.5.5 in a hosted engine configuration on an HP DL360 system with CentOS 7.1.
All works well up until the hosted VM portion of the install.
After installing CentOS 7.1 on the engine, the VM is unable to boot.
I’ve tried installing via PXE as well as with an attached CDROM image of CentOS 7.1 and go the same results.
There is no indication of any issue during install.
I ran a rescue image against the VM and fdisk cannot find a valid partition table on /dev/vda.
Curiously, a reinstall using the VM disk finds a partition table and prompts if the space should be recovered.
Hi Bruce,
I deployed it several time and I never noticed something similar.
Which kind of storage are you using?
Are you changing the default file system type or the partition table type when you install CentOS?
Below is a sanitized version of the configuration preview:
