How does this work?

If I'm installing CentOS and then the Engine into the Hosted-Engine VM, don't I need a storage domain for that OS defined in order for me to install the OS into the VM? This sounds like a bootstrapping problem? Or do I install into some temporary storage and then once the Engine + VDSM are up and running I can assign the permanent storage and it will save/copy the temporary storage over to the permanent storage? But in the latter case, that would imply the ability to move the hosted-engine storage domain from one place to another? Or does 4.4 remove the ability to install the hosted-engine into a CentOS OS and instead one must always use a Hosted Engine appliance? NB: I installed back at 4.0 and have been upgrading ever since, so I've never had to re-install the engine from scratch; I know I will need to do that if I ever decide to upgrade from 4.3.10 to 4.4 (which, frankly, I am not looking forward to doing any time soon). > Good luck and best regards, -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 derek(a)ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant
