Hi,
Can someone point me to instructions for building a C=
entOS server that
would be ready for installing the self hosted node=
.
I have a 7x 500GB HD, 16 GB RAM, i7 computer that I have inst=
alled
CentOS 6.5 (Software RAID6) to and would now like to install t=
he
self-hosted-engine.
While I do have experience with D=
ebian as a server and some experience
with CentOS, I have not so far=
found any information regarding how to
build a basic server ready fo=
r installing oVirt packages, for example
configuring static IP addre=
sses, hostname, hosts file, maybe NFS
shares ? or iSCSI shares ?=
http://www.ovirt.org/Download#Install_oVirt
Step =
6 says "Follow the on screen prompts to configure and install the
en=
gine ", however knowing what to supply for the prompts and what to
h=
ave already configured on your server would be very helpful.

tp://www.ovirt.org/Hosted_Engine_Howto
"During the deployment you'll=
be asked for input on host name, storage
path and other relevant in=
formation ", it is how to set up the
environment for answering these=
questions that I would like assistance
with (e.g. a HowTo ?)=
I have once before installed the "ovirt-engine-setup-plug=
in-allinone"
in a VMware Workstation VM, but not without many challe=
nges.
I would now like to install the "ovirt-hosted-engine-=
ha"
The second prompt said "Please specify the full shared st=
orage
connection path to use (example: host:/path):", however it doe=
s not
say that it will create this or whether you need to have this =
created
earlier ?=C2=A0 At this time I don't have a static IP address =
nor the
hosts file containing the host name, this is just a newly bui=
lt CentOS
server with minimum GUI, updates applied and no other chan=
ges.=C2=A0 So is
there any documentation which would explain what othe=
r changes are
needed and how to do this?

Two packages, ovirt-hosted-engine-setup and ovi=
rt-hosted-engine-ha
provide the setup and services necessary to deplo=
y a
self-hosted-engine oVirt environment. For more on the oVirt
S=
elf-Hosted Engine, see the oVirt Installation Guide.=20

The Hosted Engine feature relies on NFS storage to house the
m=
anagement VM.
