Hello again,
Setting the folder permissions to vdsm:kvm (36:36) done the trick to make N=
FS work. I wasn't expecting this to work since it does not make sense to me=
, making a parallel with the iSCSI problem.
I'm starting to believe that's something just bad. Perhaps the Storage syst=
em is running with something broken or the host machine is just unstable.
I will consider this as solved, since further inside the oVirt Engine panel=
I was able to mount and use the same iSCSI sharing.
But let me ask for sincere answers here:
1. oVirt is feature complete comparing to RHEV?
2. Should I migrate from XenServer to oVirt? This is biased, I know, but I =
would like to hear opinions. The folks with @redhat.com email addresses wil=
l know how to advocate in favor of oVirt.
3. Some "journalists" says that oVirt is like Fedora in comparison to RHEL,=
is this really true? Or it's more aligned with a CentOS-like release? Beca=
use Fedora isn't really an Enterprise OS, and I was looking for an Enterpri=
se Hypervisor. I'm aware that oVirt is the upstream from RHEV.
4. There is any good SPICE client for macOS? Or should I just use the HTML5=
version instead?
Thanks,
V.

Indeed - may be two different issues. Let us know how the NFS works first, =
then let's try with iSCSI.

Hello oVirt folks.
I=92m a traitor of the Xen movement and was looking for some good alternati=
ves for XenServer hypervisors. I was aware of KVM for a long time but I was=
missing a more professional and appliance feeling of the product, and oVir=
t appears to deliver exactly what I=92m looking for.
Don=92t get me wrong, I=92m not saying that Xen is not good, I=92m looking =
for equal or better alternatives, but I=92m starting to get frustrated with=
oVirt.
Firstly I=92ve tried to install the oVirt Node on a VM in VMware Fusion on =
my notebook, it was a no go. For whatever reasons I don=92t know vdsmd.serv=
ice and libvirtd failed to start. I make sure that I was running with EPT s=
upport enabled to achieve nested virtualization, but as I said: it was a no=
go.
So I=92ve decommissioned a XenServer machine that was in production just to=
try oVirt. The hardware is not new, but=92s it=92s very capable: Dual Xeon=
E5506 with 48GB of system RAM, but I can=92t get the hosted engine to work=
, it always insults my hardware: --- Hosted Engine deployment failed: this =
system is not reliable, please check the issue,fix and redeploy.
It=92s definitely a problem on the storage subsystem, the error is just ran=
dom, at this moment I=92ve got:
[ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Misc configuration': [-32605] No respons=
e for JSON-RPC StorageDomain.detach request.
But on other tries it came up with something like this:
No response for JSON-RPC Volume.getSize request.
I was thinking that the problem was on the NFSv3 server on our FreeNAS box,=
so I=92ve changed to an iSCSI backend, but the problem continues.
Can't say anything about your issues without the logs but there's nothing w=
rong with FreeNAS (FreeBSD) NFS, I've been running oVirt with FreeBSD's NFS=
since oVirt 3.2 so...
Could you share your relevant exports configuration to make sure he's using=
something that you know works?
"You're holding it wrong":) Sorry, I know you're frustrated but
that's what=
I can add to the conversation.
/K
This happens at the very end of the ovirt-hosted-engine-setup command, whic=
h leads me to believe that=92s an oVirt issue. The OVA was already copied a=
nd deployed to the storage:

At this point I really don=92t know what I should try. And the log file is =
too verborragic (hoping this word exists) to look for errors.
Any guidance?
Thanks,
V.
