Hi all, I'm experiencing some difficulties using oVirt 3.6 latest snapshot.
I'm trying to trick the self-hosted-engine setup to create a custom engine vm with 3 nics (with fixed MACs/UUIDs).
The GlusterFS volume (3.7.5 hyperconverged, replica 3, for the engine vm) and the network bridges (ovirtmgmt and other two bridges, called nfs and lan, for the engine vm) have been preconfigured on the initial fully-patched CentOS 7.1 host (plus other two identical hosts which are awaiting to be added).
I'm stuck at a point with the engine vm successfully starting but with only one nic present (connected to the ovirtmgmt bridge).
I'm trying to obtain the modified engine vm by means of a trick which used to work in a previous (aborted because of lacking GlusterFS-by-libgfapi support) oVirt 3.5 test setup (about a year ago, maybe more): I'm substituting the standard /usr/share/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/templates/vm.conf.in with the following:

There seem to be no errors in the logs.
I've tried reading some (limited) Python setup code but I've not found any obvious reason why the trick should not work anymore.
I know that 3.6 has different network configuration/management and this could be the hot point.
Does anyone have any further suggestion or clue (code/logs to read)?
The VM creation path is now a bit different cause we use just vdscli library instead of vdsClient. Please take a a look at mixins.py

Hi Simone, it seems that I spoke too soon :( A separate network issue (already reported to the list) prevented me from successfully closing up the setup in its final phase (registering the host inside the Engine), so all seemed well while being stuck there :) Now that I've solved that (for which I'm informing the list asap in a separate message) and the setup ended successfully, it seems that the last step of the HE setup (shutdown the Engine vm to place it under HA agent control) starts/creates a "different vm" and my virtual hardware customizations seem to be gone (only one NIC present, connected to ovirtmgmt). My wild guess: maybe I need BOTH the mixins.py AND the vm.conf.in customizations? ;) It seems (from /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf) that the Engine vm definition is now in /var/run/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/vm.conf Many thanks for your assistance (and obviously I just sent a related wishlist item on the HE setup ;) Regards, Giuseppe

There seem to be no errors in the logs.
I've tried reading some (limited) Python setup code but I've not
found any obvious reason why the trick should not work anymore.
I know that 3.6 has different network configuration/management and
Does anyone have any further suggestion or clue (code/logs to read)?
The VM creation path is now a bit different cause we use just vdscli
Please take a a look at mixins.py
Many thanks for your very valuable hint:
I've restored the original /usr/share/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/templates/vm.conf.in and I've managed to obtain the 3-nics-customized vm by modifying /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_setup/mixins.py like

Hi Simone, it seems that I spoke too soon :(
A separate network issue (already reported to the list) prevented me from successfully closing up the setup in its final phase (registering the host inside the Engine), so all seemed well while being stuck there :)
Now that I've solved that (for which I'm informing the list asap in a separate message) and the setup ended successfully, it seems that the last step of the HE setup (shutdown the Engine vm to place it under HA agent control) starts/creates a "different vm" and my virtual hardware customizations seem to be gone (only one NIC present, connected to ovirtmgmt).
My wild guess: maybe I need BOTH the mixins.py AND the vm.conf.in customizations? ;)
Yes, you are right: the final configuration is still generated from the template so you need to fix both.
It seems (from /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf) that the Engine vm definition is now in /var/run/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/vm.conf
the vm configuration is now read from the shared domain converting back from the OVF_STORE, the idea is to let you edit it from the engine without the need to write it on each host. /var/run/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/vm.conf is just a temporary copy. As you are probably still not able to import the hosted-engine storage domain in the engine due to a well know bug, your system will fallback to the initial vm.conf configuration still on the shared storage and you can manually fix it: Please follow this procedure substituting '192.168.1.115:_Virtual_ext35u36' with the mount point of hosted-engine storage domain on your system: mntpoint=/rhev/data-center/mnt/192.168.1.115:_Virtual_ext35u36 dir=`mktemp -d` && cd $dir sdUUID_line=$(grep sdUUID /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf) sdUUID=${sdUUID_line:7:36} conf_volume_UUID_line=$(grep conf_volume_UUID /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf) conf_volume_UUID=${conf_volume_UUID_line:17:36} conf_image_UUID_line=$(grep conf_image_UUID /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf) conf_image_UUID=${conf_image_UUID_line:16:36} dd if=$mntpoint/$sdUUID/images/$conf_image_UUID/$conf_volume_UUID 2>/dev/null| tar -xvf - # directly edit vm.conf as you need tar -cO * | dd of=$mntpoint/$sdUUID/images/$conf_image_UUID/$conf_volume_UUID When your engine will import the hosted-engine storage domain it will generate an OVF_STORE with the configuration of the engine VM, you will be able to edit some parameters from the engine and the agent will read the VM configuration from there.
Many thanks for your assistance (and obviously I just sent a related wishlist item on the HE setup ;)

Obviously this is a horrible ad-hoc hack that I'm not able to
generalize/clean-up now: doing so would involve (apart from a deeper understanding of the whole setup code/workflow) some well-thought-out design decisions and, given the effective deprecation of the aforementioned easy-to-modify vm.conf.in template substituted by hardwired Python program logic, it seems that such a functionality is not very high on the development priority list atm ;)
Many thanks again!
