[Users] engine-setup fails on CentOS 6.4 because of postgresql
by Nux! 18 Sep '13

18 Sep '13

Hello, Installed ovirt engine from the official repos, but engine-setup fails because of the database. Logs here: http://paste.fedoraproject.org/35360/77293137/ http://paste.fedoraproject.org/35361/76773031/ I'm not really any good with postgresql, what is the problem? Thanks, Lucian -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology! Nux! www.nux.ro

[Users] oVirt Hosted Engine Pre-reqs (sanlock >= 2.8)
by Andrew Lau 18 Sep '13

18 Sep '13

Hi, I noticed the hosted engine package was released as a beta package, too keen for my own good I tried to get it installed on a dev box. One of the pre-requirements is sanlock 2.8 and sanlock-python 2.8 but EL6 does not have these, Fedora 19 does have sanlock 2.8. I'm not sure if this needs to be reported. P.S. Great work on getting this amazing feature ready before release. Andrew .

Hi, I have couple of RHEV hosts (ovpxen,RHV2, RHV10 etc) and i'm trying to connect from one of the client machine (C1). All the RHEV host have libvirt modified by vdsm. It looks like the below ## beginning of configuration section by vdsm-4.10.2 listen_addr="0.0.0.0" unix_sock_group="kvm" unix_sock_rw_perms="0770" auth_unix_rw="sasl" host_uuid="036118ab-705f-4aeb-9a13-013dc8af6b41" keepalive_interval=-1 log_outputs="1:file:/var/log/libvirtd.log" log_filters="3:virobject 3:virfile 2:virnetlink 3:cgroup 3:event 3:json 1:libvirt 1:util 1:qemu" ca_file="/etc/pki/vdsm/certs/cacert.pem" cert_file="/etc/pki/vdsm/certs/vdsmcert.pem" key_file="/etc/pki/vdsm/keys/vdsmkey.pem" ## end of configuration section by vdsm-4.10.2 # ls bkp-2013-08-16_110734_cacert.pem cacert.pem vdsmcert.pem bkp-2013-08-16_110734_vdsmcert.pem engine_web_ca.pem [root@ovpxen certs]# pwd /etc/pki/vdsm/certs [root@ovpxen certs]# certtool -i --infile engine_web_ca.pem | head X.509 Certificate Information: Version: 3 Serial Number (hex): 09 Issuer: C=US,O=HP,CN=CA-IWFVM00772.hpswlabs.adapps.hp.com.64431 Validity: Not Before: Wed Jan 23 13:24:14 UTC 2013 Not After: Sun Jan 22 07:54:14 UTC 2023 Subject: C=US,O=HP,CN=CA-IWFVM00772.hpswlabs.adapps.hp.com.64431 Subject Public Key Algorithm: RSA Modulus (bits 1024): certtool -i --infile cacert.pem | head X.509 Certificate Information: Version: 3 Serial Number (hex): 09 Issuer: C=US,O=HP,CN=CA-IWFVM00772.hpswlabs.adapps.hp.com.64431 Validity: Not Before: Wed Jan 23 13:24:14 UTC 2013 Not After: Sun Jan 22 07:54:14 UTC 2023 Subject: C=US,O=HP,CN=CA-IWFVM00772.hpswlabs.adapps.hp.com.64431 Subject Public Key Algorithm: RSA Modulus (bits 1024): [root@ovpxen certs]# certtool -i --infile vdsmcert.pem | head X.509 Certificate Information: Version: 3 Serial Number (hex): 0c Issuer: C=US,O=HP,CN=CA-IWFVM00772.hpswlabs.adapps.hp.com.64431 Validity: Not Before: Thu Aug 15 11:09:22 UTC 2013 Not After: Wed Aug 15 05:39:22 UTC 2018 Subject: O=HP,CN=16.184.46.53 Subject Public Key Algorithm: RSA Modulus (bits 2048): Now from the client C1 which cert should i place in /etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem so that i can access from the client using the URI qemu+tls://ovpxen.ind.hp.com/system. Please note the host IWFVM00772.hpswlabs.adapps.hp.com is ovirt managed host. It is not the client. My problem here is i can't change the hypervisor hosts as there are too many of them and it is configured by vdsm . What certs should i take from host so that i can use it in the client so that i can connect to multiple hosts from the client using virsh or virt-manager . I need tls as remote protocol as i'm trying to automate commands. Regards, Navin

[Users] Compliance problem with ovirt 3.3 on Fedora 19
by Thomas Suckow 17 Sep '13

17 Sep '13

I attempted to setup and all-in-one solution on Fedora 19. I ran through the install which made a default data center and cluster. I created a host with 127.0.0.1 and then attempted to add the bridge that the test day documentation states does not get handled properly. After many reboots and disabling NetworkManager.service and enabling network.service as well as manually editing the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* files I had a network connection and reduced the "errors" that seem to be keeping my host in the Nonfunctional state to: Host Localhost does not comply with the cluster Default emulated machines. The Hosts emulated machines are <UNKNOWN> and the cluster is [rhel6.4.0, pc-1.0]} Recommendations of something I may be doing wrong? Has running 3.3 on F19 been a bad choice on my part? Bug?
