Although, I've been reviewing and pla= ying with oVirt for the past 3 years. My name is Robert Langley and I work = for a local Government in Southern California. My agency (with me as the pr= imary/lead IT person) has been using VMWare vSphere to host our server envi= ronment for 6 years. I have a few different reasons I want to jump the VMWa= re ship and I've been pleased with the progression oVirt has been making. I= do not care to jump from VMWare to Microsoft's Hyper-V, so this had lead m= e to look into Xen for a while, then dropped anchor with oVirt. I'm determi= ned to see this implementation through. I have moved over from the test (workstation class) environment, where I wa= s really just getting familiar with the commands and UI, and now I am worki= ng on implementation with server class hardware. I have the engine up and running. I'll get into more specifics below. I'm running into an issue where I have not been able to add my Gluster host= s or add the Storage Domain (I had tried adding the storage domain first). For my new oVirt and GlusterFS hosts I have the following: * I want to first mention that I do have a DNS server for the separat= ed/private networks and those are configured and working properly (forward = & reverse). Dell PE R830 and I would like this to be a failover server housed in a sepa= rate building where we have an Emergency Operations Center and Datacenter (= server room). - Has bonded gigabit (2 port) network that is connected to our main n= etwork & internet, configured to be used for ovirtmgnt. Name =3D gsaov08.en= t... o As far as all the various names, oVirt Hosted Engine Deployment com= plained that the Main network name was seen on more than one interface, or = something to that effect. o I did originally have DNS for the separated/private networks config= ured for forwarding DNS from our main network DNS servers. Which has been r= emoved and the Hosted Engine Deployment stopped complaining at that point. = I was going to use the forwarding DNS for another private network I use for= some management traffic, but that is not as important or an absolute need = either. - Has 2nd bonded gigabit (4 port) network (separate/private) for engi= ne storage. Name =3D gsaov08e.engine.local - Has 3rd bonded 10G (2 port) network (separate/private) for VM Guest= storage. Name =3D gsaov08s.stor.local - Will have a 4th network (separate/private) configured for security = related devices that are managed by a couple of our VM guests. As far as storage in this same server. - I have split up the local storage to be hosted by GlusterFS and thi= s host is a peer with the other two dedicated GlusterFS storage servers. Th= at is for the failover piece. o Engine volume (currently being used for the Hosted Engine) and setu= p as a replica 3 with the two dedicated GlusterFS storage servers. o VM Guest "Data" volume. The volume is created, configured and start= ed. Setup as a replica 3 with the two dedicated GlusterFS storage servers. So far, this is the only host I have hosting the engine. Now, onto the othe= r host I am about to run Hosted-Engine -Deploy on. Dell PE R730 - It has the same network setup as the R830. Storage is a bit = different. I would like to run another VM Guest GlusterFS volume from here,= along with 2 other hosts I have. They are currently serving as the vSphere= ESX hosts and have the same total size of storage to create another replic= a 3. The Dedicated GlusterFS Hosts are custom AMD Opteron G2 builds with ASUS se= rver motherboards. Strictly designed to be dedicated storage servers. - I'm using the onboard NICs to connect to my management network only= for the purpose of getting updates. So, internet is served to these hosts = via a NAT router. Since I figured they don't otherwise need access to our m= ain network. The primary names =3D gsa-stor1 & gsa-stor2 - They both have a bonded (4 port) gigabit network for the Engine sto= rage network. Names =3D gsa-stor1e.engine.local & gsa-stor2e.engine.local - They both have a bonded (2 port) 10G network for the VM Guest stora= ge network. Names =3D gsa-stor2s.stor.local & gsa-stor2s.stor.local As far as storage in these servers. - It is the same as the R830, as these servers are the peers to the R= 830. First, I added an ISO Storage Domain (NFS). That was successful. Next, I wa= s trying to add the GlusterFS VM Guest Data Storage Domain. I receive an Op= eration Canceled: Error while executing action AddGlusterFsStorageDomain: E= rror creating a storage domain. When I try to add the Gluster hosts as hosts in the oVirt Manager, I get a = message stating that SSH has failed, verify that the host is reachable (IP = address, routable address etc.) You may refer to the engine.log file for fu= rther details. I can otherwise communicate with the hosts and the engine.log does not appe= ar to have specifics to this particular failure. But, there are other clues= that I don't understand. So, I can follow up with the engine log. It conta= ins "WARN" entries. They seem to be because I do not have the hosts, for th= e engine volume, added to the cluster. Oh, one thing I should mention, I did select the option to enable the Glust= er service in the default cluster. So, both virt and Gluster are enabled. A= fter I did so, I wasn't so sure that was a good thing or not. It seems that= documentation is outdated on whether that is now supported. I noticed from= screenshots that the selection used to be radio buttons and now they are c= heck boxes. I did read the release notes for 4.0.1, which seem to talk as t= hough support for both in a cluster has been added. Thank you for any help that can be extended.
