Hi, I installed hosted engine and faced an issue with NFS during installation. First of all, I'm using GlusterFS on my storage and ovirt engine doesn't support GlusterFS yet, only NFS. But for NFS I can't use mountprotpo=tcp as hosted-engine --setup doesn't ask for NFS options. So I manually edited the following file: /usr/share/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/plugins/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/storage/storage.py and changed opts.append('vers=3'): if domain_type == 'nfs3': fstype = 'nfs' opts.append('vers=3,mountproto=tcp') My question is now: is it possible to ask for NFS options during setup or do you think this can lead into problems? NFS via TCP worked fine for me for one week until I rebooted the host today (did reboot tests last weeks, too which was fine) and can't start hosted engine anymore (see other mail thread), but I think the other issue is not NFS mountproto related.

Thanks a lot for the information. Btw, I can mount mit GlusterFS 3.4.2 NFS share now without specifying -o mountproto=tcp. Is upd now possible or is the protocol determined automatically now? I didn't test if hosted-engine-setup is able to mount GlusterFS NFS shares now without hacks, too - only discovered this new behavior on my hosts.

Slightly off-topic question: The storage options are stored in /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf, right? If I want to change the ip address of my storage I simply put engine into global maintenance mode, change IP in hosted-engine.conf and re-enable hsoted-engine vm again? Or are there more steps required? Regards, René > _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
