Several mi= nutes after trying to test, I feel less excited because of many early issue= s. I hope you'll be able to help me. Here is my story. I've installed ovirt-engine on Fedora 16 VM(ESXi 4.1) and I have installed = an ovirt-node 2.3.0-1.0.fc16 from iso on a Dell Poweredge 2950 server. The ovirt-engine is running just fine. Problems come with the ovirt-node. First, during installation, language selection is broken : it does not work= . I have selected French keyboard, and layout remained QWERTY (French layou= t is AZERTY) Then, after installation, you login (with the broken layout it's boring to = enter 'admin') but as a VMWare user, you like the feeling that looks like V= MWare. Good point. Ok, now you can change the keyboard layout again..., let's do this. You do = it a first time : still not working (when you enter a hostname for example)= . Let's do it a second time : "Fuck!!!". Python has just output tons of nas= ty messages about recursion depth issues and you cannot see the menu anymor= e...So you reboot the host, take a coffee while it is testing its RAM, and = avoid going into the keyboard layout menu again because you fear for your l= oss time. You enable SSH, you register with ovirt-engine, fine, you should be able to= work now. Let's see what you can do with SSH from your workstation : "Fuck!!" (again), you now have to mirror the broken keyboard layout to type= it correctly. So nasty... Ok, you have the ncurse menu. And then, after several seconds, you loose SS= H connection. WTF ?! You cannot connect again. You have to go to the server= lab because you don't have IP KVM for remote display. Keep cool, maybe you'll be able to see what's going on from the ovirt-engin= e GUI. Nice, this guy has seen the node, so you approve it. Host is up. No,= wait for it... down after 30s. Engine cannot connect to node anymore. You still don't have remote display on your node. You loose. I will move to the node display tomorrow to see what's happening to it. I s= uppose I will need to give you tons of dump later. I know this is free software, but free software does not mean broken softwa= re. I'm a bit afraid with my first experience with this one. Do you know those issues ?! I have looked at bug tracker, there is no post = about all those problems. Will I get more chance by installing VDSM on raw Fedora or whatever than wi= th ovirt-node ? Guys, thanks for your time.

Hello,
I’m new to oVirt world and I was very excited before testing it. Several minutes after trying to test, I feel less excited because of many early issues. I hope you’ll be able to help me. Here is my story.
I’ve installed ovirt-engine on Fedora 16 VM(ESXi 4.1) and I have installed an ovirt-node 2.3.0-1.0.fc16 from iso on a Dell Poweredge 2950 server.
The ovirt-engine is running just fine.
Problems come with the ovirt-node.
First, during installation, language selection is broken : it does not work. I have selected French keyboard, and layout remained QWERTY (French layout is AZERTY)
Hmm... I'm not aware of these problems, but I'm pretty sure there are additional patches pending for the 2.4.0 release coming shortly. Fabian, can you check this? I only have US keyboard.
Then, after installation, you login (with the broken layout it’s boring to enter ‘admin’) but as a VMWare user, you like the feeling that looks like VMWare. Good point.
Ok, now you can change the keyboard layout again…, let’s do this. You do it a first time : still not working (when you enter a hostname for example). Let’s do it a second time : “Fuck!!!”. Python has just output tons of nasty messages about recursion depth issues and you cannot see the menu anymore…
Yes, I've seen this, but only after a lot of transitions. It's something we're looking to fix, but haven't gotten to it yet. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=831316
So you reboot the host, take a coffee while it is testing its RAM, and avoid going into the keyboard layout menu again because you fear for your loss time.
You enable SSH, you register with ovirt-engine, fine, you should be able to work now.
Let’s see what you can do with SSH from your workstation :
“Fuck!!” (again), you now have to mirror the broken keyboard layout to type it correctly. So nasty…
Ok, you have the ncurse menu. And then, after several seconds, you loose SSH connection. WTF ?! You cannot connect again. You have to go to the server lab because you don’t have IP KVM for remote display.
The logout is a security feature. It will log out sessions that are idle longer than a certain length of time. IIRC, this is set to 900 seconds. As for not being able to login again, there was a bug around this that should be fixed in 2.4.0.
Keep cool, maybe you’ll be able to see what’s going on from the ovirt-engine GUI. Nice, this guy has seen the node, so you approve it. Host is up. No, wait for it… down after 30s. Engine cannot connect to node anymore.
Need vdsm.log from node and engine.log from engine to figure this out.
You still don’t have remote display on your node. You loose.
I will move to the node display tomorrow to see what’s happening to it. I suppose I will need to give you tons of dump later.
I know this is free software, but free software does not mean broken software.
I’m a bit afraid with my first experience with this one.
Do you know those issues ?! I have looked at bug tracker, there is no post about all those problems.
Will I get more chance by installing VDSM on raw Fedora or whatever than with ovirt-node ?
Using VDSM on Fedora is another option. oVirt Node should be more stable than you're seeing though. Mike
Guys, thanks for your time.
Vince

Yes, the corresponding patches will land in 2.4.0 - they are already in master- but it was broken in 2.3.0. - fabian --=-YAyAhLQF1V7Hv0iaCrEU Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAABAgAGBQJP2DtXAAoJEC9+uOgSHVGUWoYP/1CYXUiMfoCnAmR4ep1UpjpI GXGeOpUfPwPK3LZvbx1jwgl+IMD5eTXD+8yl6a6vHUonsDCgoKaRDw+yrpbW4MRJ UuqmtNoscz84cQQZcntpXAbcZ8ymYz4h1+r8pUzO4Q1AfVGptQ99e6kZ2ea3VnQN AycBestxTNCHLRxVChg1/eoY8YQbDsHJeeK9tUtcxn/nIQn9Mvwfw2vyPuvpRRCN gLXLupdksjaUg1uNa07CBRBn/nI2clYFQlgEPDizGZVvVtrgbNobpUmLLO3xdrjX mdcveFzQR/6b1xpDAjCa46z9nCO3EWUa6cFi/poc/TBOlfcwMp6ZSAa/tJUvnYq+ NUhp7W0oQHx3QtQngX0bSnuQc7RDzoI/0iPI3Rw12QjcOB/0QOgJAi3zz5m0ImAx 9d9o3/PP9fGQt54AGEo6peq+7kXE2qAgPp7PfgXA0kkyd8KOeKP2FS6efN5nSh07 D9pop8CEKfZuodR+4hloor5zVUFP42+CM7FMUm1cgdQw7U+Dtlp+jA00ikOQIN9B 69f+5iU4qWGu4OboDUi3xSXM3Zx+Q7ABRrcg9FbALjRid9dCKnU54Tqkrohu7V+o S1bxZXi5YzjNjiKYpoysG52GLL8tuZ5YsMN2F3oqAyGaZcMtu9NIRvI2YUGWWLkQ OOOPbBIn3jHQyZDMWDg8 =G6++ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-YAyAhLQF1V7Hv0iaCrEU--
