Hi all - trying to evaluate ovirt and having real problems with getting a self
contained install running.
I've followed the Quickstart guide at:
http://www.ovirt.org/Download
word for word using a fresh CentOS 6.4 install with all updates applied on a
Intel based PC with 8GB Ram and two nics.
It seems to all go well but when I get into the web interface, none of the
storage is initially visible, neither the ISO_DOMAIN nor the local storage.
Oddly if I refresh the browser (firefox & chrome) while on the storage page
the ISO_DOMAIN appears but can't be attached to a datacenter - "None
Available"
If I go into the host page the host is there but not finished configuring. The
network setup is unfinished, the management interface is not attached to a
NIC. If I attach it to the active nic (NIC 0) it throws an exception on Save.
I can attach it to nic 1 but its not actually hooked up to anything.
I have successfully installed and run proxmox on this pc, so don;t think
there are hardware problems.
On a related note - I've also been trying to test ovirt at home, which means
running it on KVM (setup with virt-manager). CentOS installs fine but on
reboot just goes to a black screen with the hour glass. If anyone has
suggestions on how to get past that it would help my test config a lot :) Host
machine is Kubuntu 13.10.
Thanks,

i don't remember them of the top of my head, but you can run the
engine-log-collector and it will collec them for you.

I ran that, large number of logs collected - any ones in particualr you
want to see?

oh, was nested virt enabled? this is an all in one deployment, right? it
needs VT extensions to work.
you pasted the errors of the sos.log, not the content of the zip

I've been testing in a mix of environments between home and work :) My
oriignaltest was with real hardware but thats not available right now.
This latest was on XenServer, so I don't think kvm can run nested on that.
I was just trying the management interface out - I presumed the storage etc
could be setup without a hostnode attached.
I'd do nested virt at home, CentOS installs via virt-manager fine, but just
displays a black screen on startup.

you can install the engine as a VM, but the download describes deploying
the all-in-one plugin - that deployes engine+vdsm(host) on same box.

that's a centos/ubuntu issue - sorry i can't help with that.
if you want to easily play with it for a demo, may i suggest you try to
boot from the live-usb?

Yah, the plug was disabled as no kvm available. I thought the
all-in-one was optional for that guide?

The all-in-one is optional in the sense that you need to run
sudo yum install -y ovirt-engine-setup-plugin-allinone
only if you want an all-in-one setup (aka one engine that is also the
hypervisor)
Normally when you deploy a host there is the reboot of the host itself
at the end of the stage
In case of all-in-one this would be a problem.of course
So the engine-setup after you install all-in-one plugin would take
care itself to make as normally the engine configuration and setup,
but also the deploy part of itself as a host, without reboot (there
was a bug in the past hitting me on this... ;-)

actually, in 3.3 there is no longer a reboot at host install.
still, the AIO automatically defines the DC as local-host type, auto
configures the host and a data storage domain, etc.
