Yes, storage is handled (also asked about) in a later stage, after the
engine is up and the host added to it.. This is a change from <= 4.2,
and was done so that we can use the engine (and vdsm) for this,
instead of duplicating their functionality in the deploy code.
Color me confused... 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,
