Ok, sorry for the delay.
The second installation attempt seams fine but it seams that ovirt-hosted-engine-cleanup failed stopping sanlock and so the watchdog kick in rebooting your system in the middle of deployment attempt.

could you please post the output of 

   ovirt-hosted-engine-cleanup

   sanlock client status

?

 

 

This is as far as I've gotten in previous attempts.

Attaching the hosted-engine-setup log.

The SOS report is 9MB and the ovirt users group will drop the email.

Can you please elaborate about the failure you see here and how are you trying to manually partition the host?

Sure, I will start from the beginning.

- Using: ovirt-node-ng-installer-ovirt-4.1-2017052604.iso

- During installation I setup one of the two interfaces and check the box to automatically use the connection.

- I'm currently providing a host name of node-1.test.net until I have a successful process.

- I configure date and time for my timezone and to use an internal NTP server.

- On Installation Destination, I pick my 128GB USB3.0 SanDisk flash drive, check the box that I would like to make additional space, and click done.  In the reclaim disk space window, I click delete all, and then reclaim space.  I go back into the Installation Destination, select that I will configure partitioning, and click done.  The Manual Partitioning window opens, I use the option to automatically create mount points.

In this screen, please change partitioning scheme from LVM to LVM Thin Provisioning: it should solve your following error.

 

  At this point, /boot is 1024MB, /var is 15GB, / is 88.11 GB, and swap is 11.57GB.  I then change / to 23.11 GB, update settings, change /var to 80GB, update settings again, and click done.  I accept the changes and begin installation.

I tried these changes based on this article: http://www.ovirt.org/documentation/self-hosted/chap-Deploying_Self-Hosted_Engine/

The article does say that you can specify a different directory than /var/tmp, but I don't recall seeing that option.

If the setup detects not enough space in /var/tmp for extracting the appliance it will ask about a different directory.

 

After some time, I get the following error:

There was an error running the kickstart script at line 7.  This is a fatal error and installation will be aborted.  The details of this error are:

[INFO] Trying to create a manageable base from '/'

[ERROR] LVM Thin Provisioning partitioning scheme is required.  For autoinstall via Kickstart with LVM Thin Provisioning check options --thinpool and --grow.  Please consult documentation for details.

^^ this one should be solved by the LVM Thin Provisioning scheme mentioned above..

At this point, the only option is to exit the installer.

****************************

Being this a new install, please use 4.1. oVirt 4.0 is not supported anymore.

Not a problem.

****************************

Can you please provide hosted engine setup logs or better a full sos report? (sosreport -a)

Again, the process I'm following:

- Using: ovirt-node-ng-installer-ovirt-4.1-2017052604.iso

- During installation I setup one of the two interfaces and check the box to automatically use the connection.

- I'm currently providing a host name of node-1.test.net until I have a successful process.

- I configure date and time for my timezone and to use an internal NTP server.

- On Installation Destination, I pick my 128GB USB3.0 SanDisk flash drive, check the box that I would like to make additional space, and click done. In the reclaim disk space window, I click delete all, and then reclaim space.

- Begin Installation and set a root password.

- Perform a yum update - no packages marked for update (as expected)

- Use vi to update /etc/hosts with a reference for node-1.test.net and engine.test.net

- First attempt at hosted-engine from web-UI

- Setup downloads and installs ovirt-engine-appliance-4.1-20170523.1.el7.centos.noarch.rpm

*Failed to execute stage 'Environment setup': Failed to reconfigure libvirt for VDSM

*Hosted Engine deployment failed

- Attached SOS report

The checksum is: aa56097edc0b63c49caaf1a1fde021bc

At this point, I would run ovirt-hosted-engine-cleanup and I would get further along in the install process.  However, because this is a fresh install, I'm going to leave things here for now so you can review the SOS.

Thanks for the SOS report!

I'd like to understand the issues you faced before suggesting to restart from scratch.

Too late... I did two re-installs to get a more accurate account of my install process for above.

I have read through most, if not all, of the guides on ovirt.org with no substantial help.

Successfully, I have done the following:

Install oVirt Engine on a bare metal system, added a node, and started exploring - not desired.

Install oVirt Node 4.0.6 on a bare metal system - fails if partitions are not done automatically.

Install oVirt Node 4.1.2 on a bare metal system - fails if partitions are not done automatically.

Can you please elaborate about the failure you see here and how are you trying to manually partition the host?

 

My process after installing a Node:

Run a yum update - just to be sure, but I am using latest iso images from downloads section.

Edit /etc/hosts for local name resolution - the goal is to host DNS as a virtual machine, eventually.

On 4.1 if I install ovirt-engine-appliance from yum, it does simplify one step in the hosted engine setup.  If I do this on 4.0 it discards the image and uses the default.

Being this a new install, please use 4.1. oVirt 4.0 is not supported anymore.

 

On 4.1 the hosted engine setup fails immediately unless I run the hosted engine cleanup from the shell.

Can you please provide hosted engine setup logs or better a full sos report? (sosreport -a)

 

  If I do this, I can typically get to the point of installing.

When I do get to the installation phase, I get to a point just after extracting the OVA that I get a message on the shell saying something about the watchdog running the whole time and then the node reboots.

I found one email thread that sounded like my issue and suggested the following commands:

vdsm-tool configure --force

systemctl restart libvirtd

systemctl restart vdsmd

Unfortunately, these commands did not help my situation like the other individual.

What log file would everyone like to see first?  Given that I still consider myself relatively new to Linux, please identify the path for the log file requested.

See above

 

Also, because I plan on performing a clean install for this thread using my process from above (I'm not expecting my outcome to be any different), are there any tips and tricks that might result in a success?

I'd like to understand the issues you faced before suggesting to restart from scratch.

Adding some people who may help as well.

 

Thank you for any and all help,

Brendan
