[Users] Trouble making ovirt-node image

Hello: I am trying to implement Ovirt in a testing datacenter. I have installed Ovirt-Engine from rpm on Fedora 16 and all is Ok. I can access the web management without problem. My problem is with Ovirt-Node. I followed the guide in: http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Node_Building. I used the same Fedora 16 installation for building the node iso. I followed all steps, but the iso creation failed. The docs dont say, but I had to install at least the ovirt-node-tools, I don't know if also I have to install ovirt-node rpm from $BASEDIR/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch The output of make ovirt-node-image.iso is in pastebin: http://pastebin.com/2U6NezuE There is not yet a prebuilt image of Ovirt available? Thanks! Any help is appreciated

Thanks! Any help is appreciated
Also, you can install VDSM on a fedora 16 machine rather than use the node flavor: http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Installing_VDSM_from_rpm

Thanks, it worked I could generate the iso image, but now I can't install Ovirt to the hardisk neither access to the configuration to specify things such ip, password, etc. Boot option "Install" only boots Ovirt on live cd image mode (No hardisk installation). Also I don't know the default user and password, or the method to specify this parameters at the image creation time. Thanks for any clarification and sorry for my poor english.

It sounds like something isn't working quite right in the iso. What is the last commit in the git repo? git log -1 Where did you check the repo out from? Thanks Mike

Ok, that's the right stuff. I know we've seen this in some cases a long time ago, but not recently. can you try this? 1. generate a hashed password using # openssl passwd 2. Boot the image and in the boot menu (or in the pxe config if your using pxe), add rootpw=hashed_password_from_step_1 3. When it boots to a getty login prompt, login as root with the password you supplied to openssl 4. check /var/log/ovirt.log and /tmp/ovirt.log for any errors In addition, what type of hardware are you using? Real hardware? virtual machine? What type of storage is on you host? What state is it in? Is it clean? is there something already installed? How are you installing? cd? USB stick? pxe? Mike
Thanks
Mike
Thanks

Hmm, nothing jumps out at me, although the restorecon messages are concerning. Joey can you take a look and see why the install TUI isn't loading? Federico, I don't have anything at the moment posted, but I'll build an image with the latest commits (I pushed a couple things today) and post it. Mike

can you try this?
1. generate a hashed password using # openssl passwd 2. Boot the image and in the boot menu (or in the pxe config if your using pxe), add rootpw=hashed_password_from_step_1 3. When it boots to a getty login prompt, login as root with the password you supplied to openssl Ok, generated and logged in 4. check /var/log/ovirt.log and /tmp/ovirt.log for any errors http://pastebin.com/MM1BpXb3 In addition, what type of hardware are you using?

Hi all: The iso provided by Mike, booted up ok, TUI loads, but installation fails ("oVirt Node Hypervisor Installation Failed"). Error logs are displayed (/var/log/ovirt.log, /tmp/ovirt.log and /var/log/messages) but I don't know how export this logs out from installation for debugging. I tried passing the root password as kernel parameter in order to login in the live system and obtain the logs, but the system asks for a new root password, I change the pass but this didn't work. These are the most significatives log lines (manually copied): cp: cannot stat '/boot/efi/* ': no such file or directory unmount: /liveos/grub/efi: not found ERROR GRUB setup failed ERROR Grub2 installation Failed Thanks Federico

Hi all:
The iso provided by Mike, booted up ok, TUI loads, but installation fails ("oVirt Node Hypervisor Installation Failed"). Error logs are displayed (/var/log/ovirt.log, /tmp/ovirt.log and /var/log/messages) but I don't know how export this logs out from installation for debugging. I tried passing the root password as kernel parameter in order to login in the live system and obtain the logs, but the system asks for a new root password, I change the pass but this didn't work.
The process for setting the password again is kinda confusing and I always seem to mess it up. You need to enter the old password twice, then the new password twice. Now, to try to understand the error that you're facing. First thing, let me point you to slides that I recently presented at the oVirt Workshop[1]. I'm assuming you started with Slide 12 after you booted the image. You the progressed until slide 15, but you got an error instead of success in the bottom-right slide? If that's the case, then you should see a list of log files to look at. On that screen, hit F2 and you should get dropped to a shell where you can do pretty much anything. To get your log files off, you need to setup networking and a root password. Run the following commands and follow the onscreen menus to setup networking and authentication. Make sure to allow ssh password authentication in the ovirt-config-password script. 1. # /usr/libexec/ovirt-config-networking 2. # /usr/libexec/ovirt-config-password After this is done, you should have networking and can scp the files out from another machine. On a side note, if you can get on IRC (#ovirt on OFTC), it might be easier for us to debug it only together in real time rather than back and forth on email. Feel free to ping me directly. Mike (mburns on irc) [1] http://www.ovirt.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/ovirt-node.pdf
These are the most significatives log lines (manually copied):
cp: cannot stat '/boot/efi/* ': no such file or directory unmount: /liveos/grub/efi: not found
ERROR GRUB setup failed ERROR Grub2 installation Failed
I haven't hit these errors at all.

On a side note, if you can get on IRC (#ovirt on OFTC), it might be easier for us to debug it only together in real time rather than back and forth on email. Feel free to ping me directly.

Hi all:
The iso provided by Mike, booted up ok, TUI loads, but installation fails ("oVirt Node Hypervisor Installation Failed"). Error logs are displayed (/var/log/ovirt.log, /tmp/ovirt.log and /var/log/messages) but I don't know how export this logs out from installation for debugging. I tried passing the root password as kernel parameter in order to login in the live system and obtain the logs, but the system asks for a new root password, I change the pass but this didn't work. The process for setting the password again is kinda confusing and I always seem to mess it up. You need to enter the old password twice,

Now, to try to understand the error that you're facing. First thing, let me point you to slides that I recently presented at the oVirt Workshop[1].
I'm assuming you started with Slide 12 after you booted the image. You the progressed until slide 15, but you got an error instead of success in the bottom-right slide? Yes If that's the case, then you should see a list of log files to look at. On that screen, hit F2 and you should get dropped to a shell where you can do pretty much anything. To get your log files off, you need to setup networking and a root password. Run the following commands and follow the onscreen menus to setup networking and authentication. Make sure to allow ssh password authentication in the ovirt-config-password script.
1. # /usr/libexec/ovirt-config-networking 2. # /usr/libexec/ovirt-config-password

Can you try running: /sbin/grub2-install /dev/mapper/3600508e000000000c759bf82c5f06d0d --boot-directory=/liveos --force It should give us some output as to why the grub install is failing.

As long as vmlinuz0, initrd0.img and grub2/grub.cfg exist in /liveos it should boot now can you look and then give it a try?

Now, to try to understand the error that you're facing. First thing, let me point you to slides that I recently presented at the oVirt Workshop[1].
I'm assuming you started with Slide 12 after you booted the image. You the progressed until slide 15, but you got an error instead of success in the bottom-right slide? Yes If that's the case, then you should see a list of log files to look at. On that screen, hit F2 and you should get dropped to a shell where you can do pretty much anything. To get your log files off, you need to setup networking and a root password. Run the following commands and follow the onscreen menus to setup networking and authentication. Make sure to allow ssh password authentication in the ovirt-config-password script.
1. # /usr/libexec/ovirt-config-networking 2. # /usr/libexec/ovirt-config-password
After this is done, you should have networking and can scp the files out from another machine. Ok, I was able to access to live system. I didn't know the F2 "trick" These are the logs:

It seems as grub don't want install in mbr. I rebooted the system after run grub2-setup but this didn't boot. I checked the system with super-grub2 disk, it detected a grub installation and displayed a grub2 menu with the line "(hd1,gpt3)/grub2/core.img" but when I selected it drop me to a grub2 shell. Also I tried to boot the iso from a virtual machine, and it boots without problem. Tui shows, installs sucessfully, and booted without problem. Obviously mi problem is hardware related. I think would be important debug this problem not only to solve mi issue but also to contribute to the oVirt node hardware compatibility Regards Federico

Sorry to jump in so late, but what it looks like to be is that the problem is GPT. Maybe your system or the node software doesn't handle GPT? By default Fedora 16 uses GPT on installs. Gary Scarborough gscarborough@gmail.com

I should have also posted that there is a kernal flag nogpt to stop using it be default. On Wed, Dec 7, 2011 at 11:45 AM, Gary Scarborough <gscarborough@gmail.com>wrote:

Nothing jumps out at me either, I built one myself just now and it boots up just fine. Is it possible to attach that machine to a serial console and get output? Does the iso Mike linked to work for you?
Hi all:
The iso provided by Mike, booted up ok, TUI loads, but installation fails ("oVirt Node Hypervisor Installation Failed"). Error logs are displayed (/var/log/ovirt.log, /tmp/ovirt.log and /var/log/messages) but I don't know how export this logs out from installation for debugging. I tried passing the root password as kernel parameter in order to login in the live system and obtain the logs, but the system asks for a new root password, I change the pass but this didn't work.
The process for setting the password again is kinda confusing and I always seem to mess it up. You need to enter the old password twice, then the new password twice.
Yes, I entered the old password and the new password twice, but password was not changed.

The iso provided by Mike, booted up ok, TUI loads, but installati= on fails ("oVirt Node Hypervisor Installation Failed"). Error logs are=20 displayed (/var/log/ovirt.log, /tmp/ovirt.log and /var/log/messages) but I=20 don't know how export this logs out from installation for debugging. I=20
passing the root password as kernel parameter in order to login=20 in the live system and obtain the logs, but the system asks for a new ro= ot password, I change the pass but this didn't work.
The process for setting the password again is kinda confusing and = I always seem to mess it up. You need to enter the old password twi= ce, then the new password twice.
Yes, I entered the old password and the new password twice, but=20

Now, to try to understand the error that you're facing. First thi=
ng,
let me point you to slides that I recently presented at the oVirt Workshop[1].
I'm assuming you started with Slide 12 after you booted the=20 image. You the progressed until slide 15, but you got an error instead of=20 success in the bottom-right slide?
Yes
If that's the case, then you should see a list of log files to=20
look at.
On that screen, hit F2 and you should get dropped to a shell=20 where you can do pretty much anything. To get your log files off, you need = to setup networking and a root password. Run the following commands = and follow the onscreen menus to setup networking and authentication.=20 Make sure to allow ssh password authentication in the=20 ovirt-config-password script.
1. # /usr/libexec/ovirt-config-networking 2. # /usr/libexec/ovirt-config-password
After this is done, you should have networking and can scp the=20 files out from another machine.
Ok, I was able to access to live system. I didn't know the F2 "tric= k" These are the logs:
/var/log/messages: http://pastebin.com/gU1uRVxm /var/log/ovirt.log: http://pastebin.com/Qn2gn6AR /tmp/ovirt.log: http://pastebin.com/H47QdvSH
it seems that the problem is related to hard disk
On a side note, if you can get on IRC (#ovirt on OFTC), it might b= e easier for us to debug it only together in real time rather than b= ack and forth on email. Feel free to ping me directly.
Mike (mburns on irc)
Ok, I will try to contact you on IRC, but I have to admin I am no=20 fluent in english
Altough also I post to the list to share the information if=20 somebody has the same problem
[1] http://www.ovirt.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/ovirt-node.pdf
These are the most significatives log lines (manually copied):
cp: cannot stat '/boot/efi/* ': no such file or directory unmount: /liveos/grub/efi: not found
ERROR GRUB setup failed ERROR Grub2 installation Failed
I haven't hit these errors at all.
Thanks
Federico

Can you try running:
/sbin/grub2-install /dev/mapper/3600508e000000000c759bf82c5f06d0d --boot-directory=3D/liveos --force
It should give us some output as to why the grub install is failing.
# /sbin/grub2-install /dev/mapper/3600508e000000000c759bf82c5f06d0d --boot-directory=3D/liveos --force
/sbin/grub2-setup: warn: This GPT partition label has no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible!. /sbin/grub2-setup: warn: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged.. Installation finished. No error reported.
