in the native list?
Hi Yedidyah,
Keep in mind it appears that your instructions are assuming some level of in
depth knowledge of *some* database not described in that thread.
In other words, for someone not extremely familiar with the oVirt
database
location and tables, would not have a clue as to what you're talking about
in this email.
I'm guessing this database is located locally on my ovirt-engine,
but I
wouldn't know where to start in how to get into it without causing major
problems (ie, do I need to turn off the engine first?) and it would help if
there were a detailed example with sql commands to make the necessary
modifications to the dB to add a fence agent completely.
This wasn't my email, it was Eli Mesika's. I just remembered that he sent it so it
was easy to find.
I agree that the instructions are not complete.
The database was created during setup - you were asked about that and probably accepted
the defaults,
which create a local database called 'engine'. You can connect to it by doing:
su - postgres
psql engine
Obviously, do not change anything before you understand what you are doing and have some
good backup.
You can read, and usually update, without taking the engine down.
There is quite a lot of material on the ovirt wiki - please search and read a bit - e.g.
for 'ovirt database'.
Do not hesitate to ask (on-list) again if you have questions.
You can also ask on irc for faster help.
Best regards,

Hi again Didi,
Thanks for your help, I'll do some digging.
Also, the below line made me chuckle.
Last time I was on IRC, there were crickets for an entire 8 hour day, not a
single response, just a lot of signin/off. ;)
