Complete CentOS 7 environment
We are upgrading hardware and I'm upgrading/rebuilding our Ovirt infrastructure. Are CentOS 7 host nodes supported? And can the engine be installed on CentOS 7? (3.5 repo isn't working for me) Thanks, Usman

Thanks for the info Robert. I'm setting up nodes with CentOS 7 and Engine is the only thing on 6.6 In your opinion, do you think it will be easy enough to rebuild the engine on a CentOS 7 machine when support is available?

simple backup on 6 and restore on a clean 7 should work.

Indeed, although: 1. I didn't yet try that myself (yet?) 2. The opposite direction (7->6) might fail, due to postgresql in 7 dumping data that the version in 6 fails to parse/accept.

It's likely that 3.5.1 will work, but contrary to nodes, there is not a big difference between them for the engine.

Thanks for the info guys. CentOS 6 engine seems stable enough and its working great with 6 hypervisors. CentOS 7 hypervisors hosts are however a different story. Is nic teaming not supported? Also kdump service commands keep failing in ovirt logs after a clean install? This frustrating enough to make me use 6. Lastly, Id like to mention that the Ovirt Node 3.5 install iso seems broken on HP DL360. It goes through the install process fine until the very end where it complains about not being able to write the boot loader. Nodes setup using a minimal install of 6.6 work like a charm and overall I'm loving 3.5 Thanks guys!

Also please include there details - logs if possible, exact hardware (server model, disk/storage subsystem components etc). Also installation logs of centos 6 on the same boxes will help I guess. Thanks! -- Didi

Not sure I understand this. If you try to deploy a CentOS 7 host with kdump intergration enabled, does host deploy fail (while with exact same configuration it works on CentOS 6.6)? If so, could you please post /var/log/ovirt-engine/host-deploy/XXX.log (XXX contains name of the host and timestamp)? Thanks Martin

Usman, could you please describe what kind of teaming did you try to perform? Did you bond interfaces using the host setup networks dialog in the GUI? What did the failure look like? As others have requested, relevant engine and vdsm logs would be appreciated on top of the answers :)

No, we currently have no support of teaming, I'm afraid. We hope to be able to implement it only on vdsm level, without a need for any API change. However, fancier team options may need an extended API relative to what we have for bonding devices. I must admit that supporting team has lurked out there for a while, but no explicit request for it was expressed. I you would like to see it in oVirt, please file an RFE and fight for its inclusion in an upcoming version. An for improved chances, post a vdsm networking configurator that implements "bond" as a teaming device. Dan.
