Hey Alain,
a quite late reply, but still ..
Thzat's annoying, can you tell what Node builld you used?
We have seen this problem, and it shoul dhave been fixed lately.
Anytime I tried to deploy the Hosted-Engine via the Node TUI, I was
not
prompted to adjust the amount of RAM the Hosted-Engine VM takes. (default
16GB). After the deploy setup, the Hosted-Engine VM would not boot.
When using a regular Ovirt host to deploy the Hosted-Engine, I was prompted
to adjust the RAM for the Hosted Engine!
Solution :
Install ovirt-engine RPMs on “host1”.
Install ovirt-hosted-engine-appliance RPM. Copy its OVA from
/usr/share/ovirt-engine-appliance/ to your webserver
Run hosted-engine –deploy from “host1”. Adjust the RAM to 4096.
Run the Hosted-Engine deploy from Node. Let it SCP the config from “host1”
Reboot Host1 as make it another Node.
Nice guide!
