hi,
do hypervisors, that are running oVirt Node (not standard CentOS/RHEL), need internet access for updates or can they be in a private, non routed network (and updates happen via engine)? it seems the latter is the case, but i want to be sure
thx matthias
Engine isn't very particular about updating in this case. As long as any repository is configured where 'yum check-update ovirt-node-ng-image-update' is true, upgrades from engine will work.
In general, otopi's miniyum is a bit smarter than base yum, so 'check-update ...' is not always a reliable mechanism to verify this, but yes, a local repo in a non-routed network which presents the update will show an update from engine.
thanks, i guess configuring repositories in oVirt Node can only be achieved when using Foreman/Satellite integration, is that correct? i've just started to use oVirt Node and i'm beginning to realize that things are a _little_ bit different compared to a standard linux host. this brings me to another update related question: right now oVirt Nodes in my test environment can connect to the internet and there recently was an update available which i applied through the engine gui, which seemed to finish successfully. i remember wondering how i could check what actually changend, there was eg. no kernel change IIRC. today i discovered that on both updated hosts /tmp/imgbased.log exists and ends in an error: subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['lvcreate', '--thin', '--virtualsize', u'8506048512B', '--name', 'ovirt-node-ng-4.1.1.1-0.20170406.0', u'HostVG/pool00']' returned non-zero exit status 5 i have to mention i manually partitioned my oVirt Node host when i installed it from the installer ISO (because i want to use software raid). i used partitioning recommendations from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1369874 (doubling size recommendations). did my oVirt Node update complete successfully? how can i check this? why was there an lvcreate error? 'imgbase layout' says: ovirt-node-ng-4.1.1.1-0.20170406.0 +- ovirt-node-ng-4.1.1.1-0.20170406.0+1 kernel version is: 3.10.0-514.10.2.el7.x86_64 thanks a lot again matthias
