[Users] Recommended OS for stability and centralized NFS storage?
I've had some challenges getting oVirt running without errors on CentOS 6.4 64-bit, and some NIC-driver-loading problems with the Fedora build of the oVirt node (ovirt-node-iso-3.0.1-1.0.2.vdsm.fc19 vs. igb driver + Intel I340-T4). I'm trying to find the right balance of stability and hardware support. I mentioned NFS in the title because I don't need GlusterFS features. The CentOS-compatible repository at ovirt.org looks like it's stopped at oVirt 3.0.x, while Fedora and RHEL are supported for 3.3. In my initial engine and node builds, I tried mixing FC, RH and Cent repositories, but that seems like a clearly bad idea, and I'm starting over. I could probably get CentOS + oVirt 3.0.x running, but I would lose several months of oVirt revisions/features/bug-fixes. RHEL seems logical, but I don't have the budget for licenses. Any suggestions? DS aka platformagnostic

Any suggestions?

Hi Joop, Thanks for the quick reply. Do you use the EL6 or the FC18 (or FC19) packages with your CentOS-oVirt system(s)?

I think you can just use the EL release for CentOS http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/3.3/rpm/EL/6/noarch/ovirt-release-el6-8-... I would also follow the CentOS how to http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/oVirt Thank you, Christian Hernandez 1225 Los Angeles Street Glendale, CA 91204 Phone: 877-782-2737 ext. 4566 Fax: 818-265-3152 christianh@4over.com <mailto:christianh@4over.com> www.4over.com <http://www.4over.com> On Mon, Oct 14, 2013 at 11:03 AM, David Sloane <dsloane@sitespect.com>wrote:

Follow the notes from: http://www.ovirt.org/Download specifically about rhel/centos, is about the same as the above :-) Regards, Joop

maybe wikify the above? It is in the wiki. Only problem is some people used a other method and I only showed that following the instructions at the Download page works for me. Its a little more detailed and slightly adapted to our env but in essence its: install Centos (either minimal or full) install epel repo install ovirt repo install ovirt-engine-setup run engine-setup

Hi, i just want to add some additional info which I didn't saw mentioned anywhere. When you install from the ovirt.org repo you need some additional packages from EPEL. So, after installing EPEL, use this ovirt.org repo: yum install http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/3.3/rpm/EL/6/noarch/ovirt-release-el6-8-... (if you want 3.3) now, install the following EPEL packages: yum install novnc python-ply python-kitchen python-daemon now _deactivate_ epel! Why? Well EPEL holds also ovirt-packages, which have different versions then the ones provided via ovirt.org repo, you don't want to mix them: sed -i 's/enabled=1/enabled=0/' /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo now, install ovirt-engine: yum install ovirt-engine tested and works with CentOS 6.4 x64 and oVirt 3.3 HTH Sven PS: On a personal note: 3.2 is still more stable than 3.3, but ymmv for nodes I would stick with CentOS minimal + VDSM from ovirt.org repo
