oVirt 3.6 and CentOS 7

Hi oVirt users, since a couple of days I'm struggling to install oVirt 3.6 on a CentOS 7 server. Here are the steps I have done to get oVirt 3.6 engine on the host. 1. Install minimal CentOS 2. update to latest version (yum update) 3. install oVirt 3.6 (yum install ovirt-engine) 4. start rpcbind (systemctl start rpcbind) 5. run engine-setup --== CONFIGURATION PREVIEW ==-- Application mode : both Default SAN wipe after delete : False Firewall manager : firewalld Update Firewall : True Host FQDN : hostname.localdomain Engine database secured connection : False Engine database host : localhost Engine database user name : engine Engine database name : engine Engine database port : 5432 Engine database host name validation : False Engine installation : True NFS setup : True PKI organization : Me NFS export ACL : 192.168.1.0/24(rw) NFS mount point : /home/iso Configure local Engine database : True Set application as default page : True Configure Apache SSL : True Configure VMConsole Proxy : True Engine Host FQDN : hostname.localdomain Configure WebSocket Proxy : True After the successful installation of the engine I logged into the admin portal to add the host to the data center. Here I entered in the following issue: Adding the host never was successful. I found out that the firewalld was always stopped and disabled during that process. A manual start of the firewalld was allowing me to continue. After that I was able to add the storage to the server. Now I thought I will be able to install a VM into the host but it looks like that something else is missing. I have no options in the drop-down boxes of cluster, templates and OS. Is anyone able to help me here? Please note that this is my first oVirt installation. Best regards and thx Christoph

Hello Christoph, i got the same problems. NFS Domain wanted to go up and the Host doesnt work to. I now used this tutorial and dont setup nfs domain while installation. I setup all nfs shares before and after all, like described in the howto, it works. http://taste-of-it.de/ovirt-all-in-one-installation-auf-centos-7/ Hope i could help.

Hi, thank you for the fast response. I tried it and now I'm able to create VMs in the local_datacenter. Currently I have a ISO_DOMAIN and a local storage for the VMs. I just tried to install a smal CentOS guest but I receive the following error while starting it: Error while executing action: Test_VM: General command validation failure. Any idea? Best regards Christoph

Hi Christoph, nice to read that it work now. My problem is actually that i couldnt install any vn when using the console while spice is not installed and the virt-viewer shows only bios version and no media. Perhaps some other can help...

Hey there, You should be able to find out more specific details about the error itself in /var/log/vdsm/vdsm.log. If you want to tail out the log, retry the creation, and send that excerpt to the list, I'd be happy to take a look. ns On Sun, Dec 13, 2015 at 8:16 AM, Taste-Of-IT <kontakt@taste-of-it.de> wrote:

Hi Nic, thank you very much for your offer. I have attached the vdsm.log of the last minutes. I also tried to start the VM during this time. Please note that I think the creating of the VM disk was successful as I can see that 20GB are allocated on the disk.
