10:36 a.m.
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?

What gives you that
idea?
Im running centos64 with ovirt3.3 from the official repo. resource.ovirt.org or
resources.ovirt.org. yum install the correct repo rpm.
Any suggestions?
Hope this gets you started again. Sorry the brevity

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...
I would also follow the CentOS how to http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/oVirt

From my notes:
Install Centos-6.4 minimal
yum update
yum install
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
EPEL for python pkg oVirt
yum install http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/ovirt-release-el.noarch.rpm
OVIRT repo
yum install http://elrepo.org/elrepo-release-6-5.el6.elrepo.noarch.rpm
KERNEL-ML/LT mainline and longterm kernels for centos
for example yum install kernel-ml-3.8.10-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
--enablerepo=elrepo-kernel
Following only when using engine-setup
yum install ovirt-engine-setup
yum install ovirt-engine-setup-plugin-allinone
I would also follow the CentOS how to http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/oVirt
Follow
the notes from:
http://www.ovirt.org/Download
specifically about rhel/centos, is about the same as 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...
(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
