I've been doing lots of unsuccessful 3.5 hosted-engine installs in my lab, where it's easy for me to re-install the OS if I need to start over. Now I need to try an install in a remote datacenter where I won't be able to re-install the OS. So I was wondering if there is a way to 'reset' a failed install so that another install can be attempted...
My thoughts so far are:
- stop vdsm, supervdsm, and libvirt - use etckeeper to reset everything under /etc - delete old log files - delete hosted_engine storage domain on storage (if install got that far) - restart vdsm, supervdsm, and libvirt
What am I missing? Maybe some remnants in /var (hmm, probably the vdsm persistent config)? Anything else?
The VDSM log to be erased? Out of curiosity, do you want to automate this process? CC'ing Alon and Sandro who can probably give more meaningful advice than me. Cheers, Yair
