How To: Node Hosted-Engine with less then 16GB

Anything to do with ' jenkins' OVA did not work for = me, size mismatch, etc. Anytime I tried to deploy the Hosted-Engine via the Node TUI, I was not pro= mpted to adjust the amount of RAM the Hosted-Engine VM takes. (default 16G= B). After the deploy setup, the Hosted-Engine VM would not boot. When using a regular Ovirt host to deploy the Hosted-Engine, I was prompted= to adjust the RAM for the Hosted Engine! Solution : Install ovirt-engine RPMs on "host1". Install ovirt-hosted-engine-appliance RPM. Copy its OVA from /usr/share/ovi= rt-engine-appliance/ to your webserver Run hosted-engine -deploy from "host1". Adjust the RAM to 4096. Run the Hosted-Engine deploy from Node.

Hey Alain, a quite late reply, but still .. Thzat's annoying, can you tell what Node builld you used? We have seen this problem, and it shoul dhave been fixed lately.
Anytime I tried to deploy the Hosted-Engine via the Node TUI, I was not prompted to adjust the amount of RAM the Hosted-Engine VM takes. (default 16GB). After the deploy setup, the Hosted-Engine VM would not boot.
When using a regular Ovirt host to deploy the Hosted-Engine, I was prompted to adjust the RAM for the Hosted Engine!
Solution :
Install ovirt-engine RPMs on “host1”.
Install ovirt-hosted-engine-appliance RPM. Copy its OVA from /usr/share/ovirt-engine-appliance/ to your webserver
Run hosted-engine –deploy from “host1”. Adjust the RAM to 4096. Run the Hosted-Engine deploy from Node. Let it SCP the config from “host1”
Reboot Host1 as make it another Node.
Nice guide! - fabian -- Fabian Deutsch <fdeutsch@redhat.com> RHEV Hypervisor Red Hat
Thanks for the reply Fabien. I had to un-sub because I was getting too much mail. ovirt-node-iso-3.6-0.999.201511061021.el7.centos.iso ovirt-engine-appliance-20151104.0-1.el7.centos.ova (extracted from ovirt-hosted-engine-appliance RPM as described) I would love if the Node TUI could default to a HTTP hosted OVA instead of requiring me to extract, place it on a webserver. I tried both the TUI method, and dropping to root & running the command line node-hosted-engine setup. Always ended up with 16GB. =) cheers ________________________________________ From: Fabian Deutsch <fdeutsch@redhat.com> Sent: December 10, 2015 8:38 AM To: Alain Gilmor Cc: users@ovirt.org Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] How To: Node Hosted-Engine with less then 16GB On Thu, Dec 3, 2015 at 6:23 PM, Alain Gilmor <Alain.Gilmor@geemedia.com> wrote:

Ah yes, both builds were quite old. If you want to give it another try, I'd suggest you try out some builds which are not older than a week, they should be working much better.
I would love if the Node TUI could default to a HTTP hosted OVA instead of requiring me to extract, place it on a webserver.
You mean, it should default to the i.e. jenkins url? Our experience was that it was quite unreliable to pull ~3GB of data from the internet, thus we recommend to download the OVA and host it manually. - fabian
