Could anyone please confirm the correct process to run oVirt node on a standard CentOS install, rather than using the node iso?
I'm currently doing the following:
- Install CentOS 6.5
- Install qemu-kvm-rhev rpm's to resolve live snapshot issues on the CentOS supplied rpm's
- Yum install vdsm ovirt-node-plugin-vdsm vdsm-reg
o I have to remove noexec from /tmp or the config fails
- I then add the node from the ovirt-engine gui
After resolving some problems with group memberships and vdsm requiring sudo access, all is working. Live snapshots and storage migration are OK (tested NFS and Gluster as well).
I couldn't really find any docs on how to do this so I just wanted to confirm if what I am doing makes sense.
I also don't have the text configuration interface that I would normally get on the oVirt node iso. Can I install this and use it on a non node iso install?
If you install a minimal Centos-6.5 and add the ovirt repository and then add the host using the webui of engine then it will install all needed packages (vdsm/libvirt/kvm) and you're done. You can then replace the standard qemu with the one that will do live snapshots. Depending on where you're storage is located you shouldn't have to tinker with memberships etc. Regards, Joop --------------080308080506040801020506 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <meta content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type"> <title></title> </head> <body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"> Simon Barrett wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:D86C48DF8800164BBE50B87623F7AC9548391A9F@ln2-wio-001.dev.tradingscreen.com" type="cite"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
