self hosted setup with answer file
So i've been playing with standing up a self hosted instance of oVirt. I'm using an answer file that i generated first time I tried running it (so that I can provision w/ ansible) I've run into 2 problems. 1: i have to specify the jboss home manually from the cli (didn't see an answer equivalent), even though the ovirt jboss package is installed. 2: Generally speaking it seems to be ignoring several of the answer file config entries. My answers tell it to 'confirm settings' and it runs non-interactively. Plus all the local storage configs seem to be ignored. I'm running ovirt-engine-3.5.1.1-1.el7.centos.noarch Any suggestions? thanks
I'm starting to get more concerned. It seems almost every time i run it off the same answer file I get a different setup. On Sun, Feb 15, 2015 at 11:45 AM, Greg Swift <gregswift@gmail.com> wrote:

Are you referring to 'hosted-engine --deploy' on the host, to 'engine-setup' inside the VM, both? You need a different answer file for each, and the one generated for 'hosted-engine --deploy' is currently not enough for automatic unattended installation. For that, see [1].

In addition to the above, if you suspect a real bug, logs and answer files will help. Best, -- Didi

So I was installing the allinone plugin and then running engine-setup.

So the problem is that at this point I've killed the system that wasn't working and I think I found a solution. I wish i had thought to save off the logs, but at least in theory it seemed to be re-produceable. That being said the following changes to my original answer file (OP attachment) and I've got a working environment -OVESETUP_CONFIG/applicationMode=str:both +OVESETUP_CONFIG/applicationMode=str:virt -OVESETUP_CONFIG/storageIsLocal=bool:True +OVESETUP_CONFIG/storageIsLocal=bool:False -OVESETUP_SYSTEM/nfsConfigEnabled=bool:True +OVESETUP_SYSTEM/nfsConfigEnabled=bool:False -OVESETUP_CONFIG/isoDomainMountPoint=str:/var/lib/exports/iso -OVESETUP_CONFIG/isoDomainName=str:ISO_DOMAIN -OVESETUP_CONFIG/isoDomainACL=str:{{ ansible_fqdn }}(rw) +OVESETUP_CONFIG/isoDomainMountPoint=none:None +OVESETUP_CONFIG/isoDomainName=none:None +OVESETUP_CONFIG/isoDomainACL=none:None Some of that is just weird though... storageIsLocal=False? its completely local storage. But hey.. its working consistently now. greg

Seems weird indeed. Are you sure you start from a fresh clean OS installation? Is it possible that a report similar to yours made me write the last paragraph of [2]? Generally speaking, all-in-one is not supported on upgrades.
But hey.. its working consistently now.
Not sure I'd call this consistent, but ok... Anyway, your email finally pushed me to start documenting this [1]. If your initial report is indeed reproducible, please open a bug and attach relevant logs/conf/etc. Thanks! [1] http://www.ovirt.org/Engine_Setup [2] http://www.ovirt.org/Otopi Best, -- Didi
