[ovirt-users] R: Re: Failed to deploy ovirt engine with "hosted-engine --deploy"

Hi all, I confirm that: 1) the machine type pc-i440fx-rhel7.2.0 is enough to solve the problem 2) the OVEHOSTED_VM/emulatedMachine variable in answers file is NOT enough (the engine vm hangs again as soon as it gets rebooted, after the successful initial setup), but the VDSM hook in https://gist.github.com/RabidCicada/40655db1582ca5d07c9bbf2c429cdd01 solves the problem (for further vms too, arguably) Many thanks.

It seems that the problem is generally known and has been solved upstream in kernel 4.16: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1636217 Any ETA on backports in RHEL7? ;-) (Note: should I open a Bugzilla on kernel package for this?) I seems that Hyper-V would experience the same troubles and I think that making nested-inside-Windows-host work should be deemed fairly important for demo/trial/lab uses... :-) In the meanwhile, workarounds have been published for the new Ansible-based setup flow: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/UDVRS5I64WLF... on the other side, I can confirm that with the legacy setup flow (with option --noansible) adding the following to the answer file avoids the problem (did not test whether newer types like pc-i440fx-rhel7.2.0 solve it too): OVEHOSTED_VM/emulatedMschine=str:rhel6.0.0 Many thanks.

L0 is vmware esxi 5.5. I know for sue that a nested kvm env over vmware esxi is still problematic; kvm over kvm works fine instead. regards, Bong SF _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org<mailto:users@ovirt.org> To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@ovirt.org<mailto:users-leave@ovirt.org> Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/site/privacy-policy/ oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/YQZHWNK2CPS... </mailto:users-leave@ovirt.org></mailto:users@ovirt.org></bongsf@gmail.com<mailto:bongsf@gmail.com></stirabos@redhat.com> </giuseppe.ragusa(a)hotmail.com&gt;
