oVirt users list,
Long story short, I've been spending weeks on this project for my home lab
with no success.
I would like to successfully install two nodes that host a highly
available engine with an iSCSI storage back-end.
I have read through most, if not all, of the guides on
ovirt.org with no
substantial help.
Successfully, I have done the following:
Install oVirt Engine on a bare metal system, added a node, and started
exploring - not desired.
Install oVirt Node 4.0.6 on a bare metal system - fails if partitions are
not done automatically.
Install oVirt Node 4.1.2 on a bare metal system - fails if partitions are
not done automatically.
Can you please elaborate about the failure you see here and how are you
trying to manually partition the host?
My process after installing a Node:
Run a yum update - just to be sure, but I am using latest iso images from
downloads section.
Edit /etc/hosts for local name resolution - the goal is to host DNS as a
virtual machine, eventually.
On 4.1 if I install ovirt-engine-appliance from yum, it does simplify one
step in the hosted engine setup. If I do this on 4.0 it discards the image
and uses the default.
Being this a new install, please use 4.1. oVirt 4.0 is not supported
anymore.
On 4.1 the hosted engine setup fails immediately unless I run the
hosted
engine cleanup from the shell.
Can you please provide hosted engine setup logs or better a full sos
report? (sosreport -a)
If I do this, I can typically get to the point of installing.
When I do get to the installation phase, I get to a point just after
extracting the OVA that I get a message on the shell saying something about
the watchdog running the whole time and then the node reboots.
I found one email thread that sounded like my issue and suggested the
following commands:
vdsm-tool configure --force
systemctl restart libvirtd
systemctl restart vdsmd
Unfortunately, these commands did not help my situation like the other
individual.
What log file would everyone like to see first? Given that I still
consider myself relatively new to Linux, please identify the path for the
log file requested.
See above
Also, because I plan on performing a clean install for this thread using
my process from above (I'm not expecting my outcome to be any different),
are there any tips and tricks that might result in a success?
I'd like to understand the issues you faced before suggesting to restart
from scratch.
Adding some people who may help as well.
Thank you for any and all help,
Brendan
