Hello everybody, I would like to install oVirt Node on a IBM Machine, but after the installation it can not boot. I get the message: "/boot/efi/..." file not found I try many different things like turn of uefi options in bios etc. but with no effect. Now I figure out that when I install full CentOS 7.3 from live DVD it just boot normal. Is there any workaround to get this to work? Regards Jonathan

I have seen this problem before. For some reason, oVirt Node 4.1.x does not always install everything right for efi. In my limited experience, it fails to do it correctly 4 out of 5 times. The mystery to me is why it gets it right sometimes. I solve the problem by manually copying the missing file into my efi boot partition. On 10/24/2017 12:46 PM, Eduardo Mayoral wrote:

Thank you, for your commands! I have now also install CentOS minimal, this works. I only though that oVirt Node have some optimizations, but maybe not. @Eduardo Mayoral, can I ask you that you are able with this servers, to use the power management? As I understand, they support ipmilan, but I don't know how... Regards Jonathan Am 24.10.2017 um 23:41 schrieb Sean McMurray:

Yes, I use power management with ipmilan, no issues. I do have license on the IMM for remote console, but that is not a requirement, AFAIK. I remember I first tried to use for oVirt a dedicated login on the IMM with just "Remote Server Power/Restart Access" and I could not get to work, so I just granted "Supervisor" to the dedicated login. Other than that, no problem. Eduardo Mayoral Jimeno (emayoral@arsys.es) Administrador de sistemas. Departamento de Plataformas.

Hi, We did have some problems in the past with efi, but they should be fixed by now. Did you use the ISO for installation ? What error are you seeing - which file is missing there ? Thanks, Yuval. On Thu, Oct 26, 2017 at 11:03 PM, Jonathan Baecker <jonbae77@gmail.com> wrote:

We have an outstanding problem with 7.4 images on EFI, since platform moved "grub2-efi" to "grub2-efi-x86_64". There's a patch pending here: https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/83008/ Hopefully merged soon. In the meantime, using Anaconda from CentOS 7.3 via kickstart (with the latest Node image) would work, but this isn't very convenient. Otherwise, you can drop to a shell and manually copy /run/sysroot/.../grubx64.efi to /boot/efi, but this isn't very nice. On Tue, Oct 31, 2017 at 4:46 AM, Yuval Turgeman <yuvalt@redhat.com> wrote:

Hello, i'm installing successfully on Lenovo Flex System x240 M5 Compute Node via PXE and boot through legacy mode. I did the required setup on Foreman by creating new Provisioning Templates (kickstart and PXELinux configs based on https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.1/htm... with few changes) I haven't been able to start the setup when UEFI mode is enabled, but is a problem connected first to grub2-uefi (discovery works only on Legacy mode, no deployment requires workaround: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1487107 ) and then maybe to pxe firmware that loops on downloading the same /grub/grub.cfg-01-MACADDRESS. But this shouldn't be related to oVirt images. Anyway setup done in legacy mode can't be booted via UEFI, because as far as i can see no /boot/efi partition is created by autopart. In case of start via cd iso image and using kickstart containing autopart --type=thinp, will autopart understand that efi partition is required and then setup everything needed?

I installed from a USB stick... I try it now again on a second machine and the exact message is: *Failed to open \EFI\centos\grubx64.efi - Not Found** **Fail to load image \EFI\centos\grubx64.efi - Not Found** **start... image() returned Not Found* What Brian Barry recommend didn't work for me to. I booted again from the stick and choice Troubleshooting, there I can select "1", this should mount my installation to a folder, but the starting process ended up in a loop, where error comes up saying something about error on line 9.

I installed from a USB stick... I try it now again on a second machine and the exact message is:<br> <br> <blockquote><b>Failed to open \EFI\centos\grubx64.efi - Not Found</b><b><br> </b><b>Fail to load image \EFI\centos\grubx64.efi - Not Found</b><b><br> </b><b>start... image() returned Not Found</b><br> <br> </blockquote> What Brian Barry recommend didn't work for me to. I booted again from the stick and choice Troubleshooting, there I can select "1", this should mount my installation to a folder, but the starting process ended up in a loop, where error comes up saying something about error on line 9. After a second round I lost my patience and I install again the normal centos minimal. <br> <br> Is there any performance benefit with installing from oVirt Node?<br> <br> Regards<br> Jonathan<br> <br> <br> Am 31.10.2017 um 09:46 schrieb Yuval Turgeman:<br> </div> <blockquote type="cite" cite="mid:CAGDbUeefFdFPGD_KkRiYSqLSR9D43GUVW0jwy7udAy420XOYgA@mail.gmail.com"> <div dir="ltr">Hi, <div><br> <div>We did have some problems in the past with efi, but they should be fixed by now.</div> <div>Did you use the ISO for installation ?
