[Users] Unable to install oVirt Node 3.0.1: Exception: RunTimeError('Failed to partition/format')
Hi I am trying to install oVirt Node (ovirt-node-iso-3.0.1-1.0.2.vdsm.fc19.iso) on DELL R805 server, but every time install fails with Exception: RunTimeError('Failed to partition/format'). I also tried ovirt-node-iso-3.0.1-1.0.2.vdsm.el6.iso version and the same error occures. I tried different partition sizes and I always make sure that partitions dont exceed the total disk space. I browsed log fails and could not find anything relevant. I am really out of ideas... Any advise? Thanks Edgars
Hello! Had same problem on IBM xSeries 3650. Aparently was an RAID problem (Serve RID in my case). I had to wipe the disk, recreate the array an wait until it was OK and only after that I manage to install. On Mon, Oct 21, 2013 at 3:45 PM, Edgars M. <edgars.mazurs@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi, thanks for your replies.. As suggested by Gabi C, I destroyed RAID on my RAID controller, re-created it and after that it worked. Thanks again. On Mon, Oct 21, 2013 at 10:45 PM, Joey Boggs <jboggs@redhat.com> wrote:

Hey Edgars and Gabi, nice that both of you could solve this problem. Could you tell what kind of raid it was? Was it a "fake raid" or a real raid controller, and how did the raid setup look when it failed and how did it look afterwards? I'd like to capture these informations to nail down this problem a bit more. Thanks fabian
Thanks again.

Hello! It is a real RAID controller ServeRAID 8k that comes with IBM xSeries 3650. First I hit this problem, tryin' to upgrade from 3.2 - i.e ovirt-node-iso-2.6.1-20120228.fc18.iso<http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/3.2/iso/ovirt-node-iso-2.6.1-20120228.fc18.iso>- to 3.3 - ovirt-node-iso-3.0.1-1.0.2.vdsm.fc19.iso. <http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/3.3/iso/ovirt-node-iso-3.0.1-1.0.2.vdsm.fc19.iso>...in fact the message was "Error 'Failed to set install bootloader'" - see http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2013-September/016434.html --, message which appear in the last styage of upgrade ( 5 out of 5). Then I rebooted, enter the RAID setup, erase the array, reinitiliaze the disks, recrete the array with option full - this take some time to complete but when ready the array was available. I also tried to create the array with "Quick" option - this option immediately create the array and made it available to the OS but in the background RAID controller was still creating the array i.e. some disk operations and got same error. <http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/3.3/iso/ovirt-node-iso-3.0.1-1.0.2.vdsm.fc19.iso> On Tue, Oct 22, 2013 at 11:15 AM, Fabian Deutsch <fabiand@redhat.com> wrote:

Hi Fabian I am using DELL R805 server with PERC 6/i RAID controller and two SAS disks. PERC 6/i is real hardware RAID controller (although cheap one). First I created RAID1 and did fast initialisation. (PERC RAID controllers has this stupid requirement that you need to initialise RAID before you can use it). After this oVirt Node installation failed every time with "Failed to partition/format". Then I destroyed RAID1 and created it again, but this time I did full RAID initialisation (instead of fast). After that oVirt Node installation went smooth. The thing is that I never do full initialisation when I install any OS, because it is very slow process and can take hours and I never had any problems with fast initialisation before. But apparently there is some trick with oVirt Node.
From documentation:
"Fast initialization writes zeroes to the first 8 MB and to the last 8 MB of the virtual disk so that initialization occurs in 2–3 seconds. A progress bar displays next to the selected virtual disk as it initializes." Whereas: "A regular (meaning full) initialization permanently destroys any data that already exists." Hope that helps.
