[ANN] oVirt 3.6.2 Third Release Candidate is now available for testing
The oVirt Project is pleased to announce the availability of the Third Release Candidate of oVirt 3.6.2 for testing, as of January 20th, 2016 This release is available now for Fedora 22, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7, CentOS Linux 6.7 (or similar) and Red Hat Enterprise Linux >= 7.2, CentOS Linux >= 7.2 (or similar). This release supports Hypervisor Hosts running Red Hat Enterprise Linux >= 7.2, CentOS Linux >= 7.2 (or similar) and Fedora 22. Highly experimental support for Debian 8.2 Jessie has been added too. This release candidate includes updated packages for: - ovirt-engine - ovirt-engine-reports - ovirt-hosted-engine-setup - vdsm This release of oVirt 3.6.2 includes numerous bug fixes. See the release notes [1] for an initial list of the new features and bugs fixed. Please refer to release notes [1] for Installation / Upgrade instructions. A new oVirt Live ISO is also already available [2]. Please note that mirrors[3] may need usually one day before being synchronized. * Read more about the oVirt 3.6.2 release highlights: http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_3.6.2_Release_Notes * Get more oVirt Project updates on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ovirt * Read more about oVirt Project community events: http://www.ovirt.org/Upcoming_events [1] http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_3.6.2_Release_Notes [2] http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-3.6-pre/iso/ [3] http://www.ovirt.org/Repository_mirrors#Current_mirrors -- Sandro Bonazzola Better technology.

Tested successfully on CentOS 7.2 with SH Engine on NFS and verified correct auto-import of SH Domain. Hypervisor is a CentOS 7.2 VM inside Qemu/KVM in virt-manager (under my laptop that is Fedora 23). So it is a nested virtualization environment. Some NOTES 1) appliance I see that the appliance rpm pulled in was ovirt-engine-appliance-3.6-20151216.1.el7.centos.noarch I presumed it was not populated with correct rpms. So in "hosted-engine --deploy" setup I used the appliance, but answered Automatically execute engine-setup on the engine appliance on first boot (Yes, No)[Yes]? No I then connect to the appliance OS and configure 3.6-pre repo and run yum update Strange that this pulled in the package ovirt-release36-003-1.noarch and so the repo file was overwritten and was again 3.6 only and not 3.6-pre. I re-modified /etc/yum.repos.d/ovirt-3.6.repo re-adding the pre. and finally engine-setup and successfully completed the final part on host. 2) localtime on Engine was not asked but was set to UTC. So [root@shengine ~]# ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Rome /etc/localtime shutdown engine OS and after some minutes the VM came back online. 3) As this is a nested environment with NFS domain provided by the only host itself, In /usr/lib/systemd/system/ovirt-ha-broker.service Agdded in section [Unit] After=nfs-server.service So that I can manage shutdown/restart of host for complete maintenance operations 4) After adding first data domain, the hosted_storage storage domain came up automatically without any problem. Able to see engine vm in web admin portal and its disk and access its console (used vnc) Also able to add ISO Domain. (both data and iso are NFS on the host itself) 5) The only "problem" (?)

You are right here: we are not copying the host timezone to the appliance: we can do it via cloud-init. Good catch!

We will let you edit some of the engine VM parameters from the engine itself. All the modification will be saved as OVF file on a special volume called OVF_STORE; when needed ovirt-ha-agent tries to get the up-to-date engine VM configuration from there and if there is any issue it falls back to the initial vm.conf from the setup time. The issue is that by default OVF_STORE gets populated only after 1 hour and so if you wait less than 1 hour you'll get that message since the OVF_STORE is still not there.
6) ISO upload from engine by default doesn't work because its own host doesn't allow it [root@shengine ~]# ovirt-iso-uploader -i ISO_DOMAIN upload /root/CentOS-7-x86_64-NetInstall-1511.iso Please provide the REST API password for the admin@internal oVirt Engine user (CTRL+D to abort): Uploading, please wait...

OK, thanks. BTW: I see that engine VM is run with option -rtc base=2016-01-25T13:51:16,driftfix=slew -global kvm-pit.lost_tick_policy=discard -no-hpet On hypervisor, a VM configured with Europe/Rome timezone, the related process is this: [root@ovc72 ~]# ps -ef|grep qemu qemu 2995 1 12 14:51 ? 00:07:49 /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name HostedEngine ... So what is the command run on host to set base= one hour before?
