The oVirt Project is pleased to announce the availability of the Third Release Candidate of oVirt 3.6.2 for testing, as of January 20th, 2016

Tested successfully on CentOS 7.2 with SH Engine on NFS and verified correct auto-import of SH Domain. Hypervisor is a CentOS 7.2 VM inside Qemu/KVM in virt-manager (under my laptop that is Fedora 23). So it is a nested virtualization environment.

Some NOTES 1) appliance I see that the appliance rpm pulled in was ovirt-engine-appliance-3.6-20151216.1.el7.centos.noarch

I presumed it was not populated with correct rpms. So in "hosted-engine --deploy" setup I used the appliance, but answered

Automatically execute engine-setup on the engine appliance on first boot (Yes, No)[Yes]? No

I then connect to the appliance OS and configure 3.6-pre repo and run

yum update

Strange that this pulled in the package

ovirt-release36-003-1.noarch

and so the repo file was overwritten and was again 3.6 only and not 3.6-pre. I re-modified /etc/yum.repos.d/ovirt-3.6.repo re-adding the pre.

and finally engine-setup

and successfully completed the final part on host.

2) localtime on Engine was not asked but was set to UTC. So [root@shengine ~]# ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Rome /etc/localtime

shutdown engine OS and after some minutes the VM came back online.

You are right here: we are not copying the host timezone to the appliance: we can do it via cloud-init. Good catch!

OK, thanks. BTW: I see that engine VM is run with option -rtc base=2016-01-25T13:51:16,driftfix=slew -global kvm-pit.lost_tick_policy=discard -no-hpet On hypervisor, a VM configured with Europe/Rome timezone, the related process is this: [root@ovc72 ~]# ps -ef|grep qemu qemu 2995 1 12 14:51 ? 00:07:49 /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name HostedEngine ... So what is the command run on host to set base= one hour before?

...

5) The only "problem" (?) I see is this message that I don't understand. On hypervisors

We will let you edit some of the engine VM parameters from the engine itself. All the modification will be saved as OVF file on a special volume called OVF_STORE; when needed ovirt-ha-agent tries to get the up-to-date engine VM configuration from there and if there is any issue it falls back to the initial vm.conf from the setup time. The issue is that by default OVF_STORE gets populated only after 1 hour and so if you wait less than 1 hour you'll get that message since the OVF_STORE is still not there.

I confirm tat now (after also a full restart of engine and hos) I get no more warnings: It seems that after complete reboot of environment is not there anymore: [root@ovc72 ~]# systemctl status ovirt-ha-agent -l ● ovirt-ha-agent.service - oVirt Hosted Engine High Availability Monitoring Agent Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/ovirt-ha-agent.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (running) since Mon 2016-01-25 14:46:45 CET; 7min ago Main PID: 1735 (ovirt-ha-agent) CGroup: /system.slice/ovirt-ha-agent.service └─1735 /usr/bin/python /usr/share/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/ovirt-ha-agent --no-daemon Jan 25 14:53:58 ovc72.localdomain.local ovirt-ha-agent[1735]: INFO:ovirt_hosted_engine_ha.lib.image.Image:Preparing images Jan 25 14:53:58 ovc72.localdomain.local ovirt-ha-agent[1735]: INFO:ovirt_hosted_engine_ha.agent.hosted_engine.HostedEngine:Reloading vm.conf from the shared storage domain Jan 25 14:53:58 ovc72.localdomain.local ovirt-ha-agent[1735]: INFO:ovirt_hosted_engine_ha.agent.hosted_engine.HostedEngine.config:Trying to get a fresher copy of vm configuration from the OVF_STORE Jan 25 14:53:58 ovc72.localdomain.local ovirt-ha-agent[1735]: INFO:ovirt_hosted_engine_ha.lib.ovf.ovf_store.OVFStore:Found OVF_STORE: imgUUID:d5324492-0255-4393-88e4-941bca6de718, volUUID:ae3a5170-5dac-4f21-96bc-b8e26f1c64ba Jan 25 14:53:58 ovc72.localdomain.local ovirt-ha-agent[1735]: INFO:ovirt_hosted_engine_ha.lib.ovf.ovf_store.OVFStore:Found OVF_STORE: imgUUID:7bb1f41c-39df-4f8b-bff5-6c21ada248c8, volUUID:bd1871eb-7fe2-4c45-9982-dc3ddd14b48c Jan 25 14:53:58 ovc72.localdomain.local ovirt-ha-agent[1735]: INFO:ovirt_hosted_engine_ha.lib.ovf.ovf_store.OVFStore:Extracting Engine VM OVF from the OVF_STORE Jan 25 14:53:58 ovc72.localdomain.local ovirt-ha-agent[1735]: INFO:ovirt_hosted_engine_ha.lib.ovf.ovf_store.OVFStore:OVF_STORE volume path: /rhev/data-center/mnt/ovc72.localdomain.local:_SHE__DOMAIN/60f4ec00-b5fd-410d-982d-c78da8366bd5/images/7bb1f41c-39df-4f8b-bff5-6c21ada248c8/bd1871eb-7fe2-4c45-9982-dc3ddd14b48c Jan 25 14:53:58 ovc72.localdomain.local ovirt-ha-agent[1735]: INFO:ovirt_hosted_engine_ha.agent.hosted_engine.HostedEngine.config:Found an OVF for HE VM, trying to convert Jan 25 14:53:58 ovc72.localdomain.local ovirt-ha-agent[1735]: INFO:ovirt_hosted_engine_ha.agent.hosted_engine.HostedEngine.config:Got vm.conf from OVF_STORE Jan 25 14:53:58 ovc72.localdomain.local ovirt-ha-agent[1735]: INFO:ovirt_hosted_engine_ha.agent.hosted_engine.HostedEngine:Current state EngineUp (score: 3400) Gianluca
