Hi folks,
I'm a complete OVirt newbie trying to set up a self hosted, single server and looking for some pointers to get going... (While new to OVirt, I'm long time sysadmin so not totally clueless.)
Welcome :-)
The server I'm using has a 4-core CPU, 64 GB of ram, and a pair of 500 GB SSDs set up with RAID 1 and running CentOS 7.2. (I do not have physical access to the server but can get KVM access when required.)
The goal is to set up this server as a self hosted, single server OVirt platform. Nothing mission critical, just want to be able to spin up VMs when needed and destroy them afterwards.
Trying to use OVirt 4.0.4 (now 4.0.5).
I've read some docs for setting this up including those just below as well as a bunch of googling and reading through the list archive.
http://www.ovirt.org/documentation/how-to/hosted-engine/ http://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/heapplianceflow/ http://www.ovirt.org/blog/2016/08/up-and-running-with-ovirt-4-0-and-gluster-...
Every time I execute "hosted-engine --deploy" the process "hangs" when it migrates the public IP address to a virtual nic interface. And in this case, by "hang" I mean that I lose the connection to the server. I have no idea if the process finishes or errors out.
Can you share logs at this point? Including /var/log/vdsm/* and /var/log/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/* . If you have KVM access, you might manage to get them. Or copy after a reboot. Also please share your network configuration. Are you using NetworkManager (IIRC unsupported currently)? DHCP? Static IP conf?
So obviously I'm doing something wrong.
Or it might be a bug.
I suspect that I need to take care of some network requirement before starting. However, I can't find anything in the docs of how to prep the server network environment before running "hosted-engine --deploy".
Should probably also mention that some, if not all of the VMs will need a public IP address. The physical server has a /29 to get started.
I have never setup such a server but if you create the ovirtmgmt bridge first then the deploy will leave it alone and you won't lose network connectivity.
