I have previously had rela= tively good success with the all-in-one plugin on oVirt 3.6, but it is time= to move to newer things and I am trying to get oVirt 4.1 installed on a cl= ean platform. I am unfortunately finding this very difficult and I hope someone here can = help guide me in the right direction :o) My intention is to use oVirt Node as the base OS on the server, install Hos= ted Engine on it and also have the storage domains hosted on it too. What I have achieved so far is... 1. Installed oVirt Node 4.1.2, generally using the default configuration 2. Changed the performance profile to "virtual-host" inside the web inte= rface as per documentation suggestion 3. Created a new volume group, pool for thin volumes, and finally an XFS= -formatted volume that mounts on /srv which will be used for the storage do= main(s) 4. From the console on the node, I have created /srv/ovirt/data and /srv= /ovirt/iso directories with ownership vdsm:kvm and access rights 0755, whic= h I have then added to /etc/exports with the following configuration: rw,sy= nc,no_subtree_check,all_squash,anonuid=3D36,anongid=3D36 5. When I install Hosted Engine from the Node web interface, I select NF= S4 for the storage and provide the correct host:/path. Other than that, an= d setting up static network details and email details, I follow the default= prompts of the Hosted Engine setup. 6. The Hosted Engine setup seems to run through to completion, and I get= a successfully installed message at the end 7. I open up the firewall on port 2049 for tcp and udp; this is done **a= fter** the engine setup is complete since the setup procedure alters the fi= rewall configuration and my modifications otherwise get lost. I have confi= rmed that it is possible to mount these nfs shares both on the node itself = and on the engine vm (once it is running). 8. I can log into the Hosted Engine web interface. This is now where I run into problems. The first problem is that no storage domains are registed, nor can I add an= y. I get warnings like "The hosted engine storage domain doesn't exist. I= t will be imported automatically upon data center activation, which require= s adding an initial storage domain to the data center". However attempting= to do so gives errors like: "VDSM server.domain command CreateStoragePoolV= DS failed: Cannot acquire host id: (u'fcdee6d8-c6fc-45fb-a60c-1df4b298f75a'= , SanlockException(22, 'Sanlock lockspace add failure', 'Invalid argument')= )". During Hosted Engine setup it seems that the /srv/ovirt/data storage d= omain is created, but I cannot import it. I also tried to create a new sto= rage domain at /srv/ovirt/iso and met with similar results: it creates it, = but won't attach to it. The next problem is that I can't restart the server from the Node web inter= face. Clicking on the "Restart" Power Options button simply causes the who= le system to hang. It appears to shut down the Engine VM ok, it also termi= nates all ssh connections, but after that the console screen on the server = just goes black and sits there. You can still ping the server from the net= work but can't do anything or see anything. Fortunately the Dell server ha= s a remote console feature that enables me to manually restart the server, = but this is not ideal at all. This problem only occurs once the Hosted Eng= ine is installed; before this is done, the "Restart" button works perfectly= . The final problem is that once the server has restarted, it takes about 10 = minutes before the Node starts the Hosted Engine. Is this correct? I woul= d have thought that once the Node is up, its first responsibility would be = to get the Hosted Engine up, but you can see from the dmesg output that on = average 530 seconds elapses before kvm is started. Is there anything I can= do to speed this up? Any help would be gratefully received. Or if anyone knows of a "oVirt for = Dummies" (TM) style step-by-step installation guide that installed Node, Ho= sted Engine and the storage domains all on one machine, I would love to see= that!! Many thanks in advance!
