Hi.
I am trying to do some lab.
I have one Unix server, on which I installed oVirt package. I have already access to
console.
I would like to create some virtual servers, but to do so, I need to have datacenter up. I
checked in docummentation, that to have it running, I need to have:
- cluster - which I already made
- host - here I have problem, because I am trying to add the same host on which ovirt is
running, but I get error without any notification
- storage domain - which I guess is created automatically during ovirt installation.
Any ideas :) ?

New subject: is it possible to add host on which ovirt is installed ?
Hi.
I am confused now.
removed all previous configuration and follwed instruction:
https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/gluster-hyperconverged/chap-Single_no...
Than I read:
Deploying on oVirt Node based Hosts
oVirt Node contains all the required packages to set up the hyperconverged environment.
Refer to oVirt Nodes for instructions on installing oVirt Node on the host. You can
proceed to setting up the hyperconverged environment if you have an oVirt Node based
host.
What I found, is that oVirt Node is a separate installation for separate machine.
So now I am confused :(
What exacly steps I need to perform, to have GUI in which I can create virtual machines,
having only one server available :) ?
Thanks in advance.

Normally in oVirt you are going to have a central manager, the engine, plus
N virtualization hosts running VMs storage on external storage.
Using it with a single host with no external storage is a kind of
degenerate case.
I'd still suggest the single node hyper-converged hosted-engine deployment
that's is designed exactly for your use case.
You are going to install oVirt node on your bare metal machine: oVirt node
is a kind of minimal Centos based OS deployment for oVirt purposes.
hosted-engine deployment will create a first VM there based on a ready to
use appliance and oVirt engine will be executed there.
The storage will be exposed by the host itself via gluster.
The easiest deployment path is:
1. install oVirt node on your bare metal server from an ISO:
https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.3/iso/ovirt-node-ng-installer/4.3...
2. connect to its cockpit UI: on https://host_address:9090/
3. run single host hyper-converged depoyment from hosted-engine tab from
there
