I am a still a new comer to Ovirt virtualization arena I have installed an older ver of ovirt (3.1). I have installed the appropriate standalone hypervisor and ovirt manager on separate servers. Presently, my configuration is 'internal' I . I have successfully created data center 2. I have successfully create cluster 3. I have successfully attached the cluster to the only host that I have (hypervisor) 4. I have a problem configuring my storage domain: a. my objective is to use the exported file system from the third system for the storage domain. (note I don't have the vdsm user on the the third server) b. I used 192.168.1.15:/stor (which is exported from the third system) I noticed that Ovirt is not happy if I keep the storage file system on the ovirt-manager server. I require fqdn:/file system But I don't have a domain controller running or directory server running so that I cannot attach fqdn:/file system to the manager. It there a work around for this so that I can attach a storage? Appreciate your assistance.
