Let me throw a couple of "Ifs" and see what others feel…?

  *   Could it be that VirtualBox AND Parallels cannot handle an oVirtEngine VM…?   In other words, oVirtEngine is "allergic" to both of these…?

Cannot speak for the mentioned products, but I´ve run engine in KVM many times without issues. Network configuration could be to blame in your case. I´ve set up a bridge interface for my VM´s so that they can access the same network as me

  *   Could it be that oVirtEngine cannot be implemented in a VM…?

No.

  *   Could it be that 4 or 6 Gb of RAM is to little for oVirtEngine…?

My engine VM only had 3GB. Sure, it wasn´t all that fast but it worked:)

     *   I saw some minimum specs for oVirt in the documentation pages in the web Albeit the "Minimum RAM" was described as 4 Gb., I believe it stated that it should be more. (refer to http://www.ovirt.org/Quick_Start_Guide#Prerequisites - "Prerequisites".

Of course, the more the better but you can get away with less.

     *   Could it be that that is the case in a Physical Machine rather than a VM I I can access all the resources and come closer to the "prerequisites" described before…?

Well, obviously.

  *   Could it be that I need to define a Virtual Machine's hard disk size of "X" amount or more…?

You might be on to something there. I created my virtual HD 256GB large, but thin provisioned so that it doesn´t take up that much until you actually store something in it. What I´m thinking about with your rather small 15GB HD is that it doesn´t leave much space for swapping. In your VM you said you put in 4GB of RAM. From that you should partition at least 4GB for swap, but to be completely safe you should double that up to 8GB. That would leave you with only 7GB left to install the system, all of the packages, database, etc, etc. It would be worthwhile to try again with a bigger disk. And for less unneeded clutter, try the minimal install instead of installing a full desktop. Leaves more space for what you´re really interested in.

     *   In my initial trials, I created a VBox VM with 8 Gb HD. and oVirtEngine would't install and Fedora 18 kept showing error messages something like "XYZ was without space" (can't remember the exact error text)
     *   I later created the Virtual HD with 15 Gb and oVirtEngine repository stuff installation was possible…!!!
  *   Could it be that the oVirtEngine "Adminnistrator Portal" needs to do something, maybe in the Postgress database or somewhere else, and is chocking for lack of HD space…?
     *   VirtualBox doesn't expand Virtual HDs automatically to well - like Parallel does.
     *   I haven't tried my oVirtEngine VM  I began under a Parallels VM to see if I get the same effect (is.e. omer oVirt "Portals" not opening) - but then all the host machines that I have at hand have 8 Gb Ram and can't be expanded any further to meet the "prerequisites defined at http://www.ovirt.org/Quick_Start_Guide#Prerequisites.

Any ideas.  In what environment have others implemented oVirtEngine successfully in the past…?

So far, If I can't show oVirt working at least in the management side, all healthcare partners and clients of mine will go with the tried and tested like Microsoft Hyper-V or VMWare. ReHat's version of oVirt it still to expensive and there's little if any RedHat support providers in Puerto Rico.  Hence, I'l at a crossroad here and getting this to work is imperative so I can convince people to move to Linux and many will then adopt the "commercial edition" for support; but only if they can ee that the thing works and can compete with the entrenched and competing "solutions".

As a sysadmin, your job is to find the tool that works best for you and use it. Just because it´s open source doesn´t automatically make it better if you don´t know how to use it properly. In those cases using open source products might even make it more expensive compared to a commercial product just because you spend too much time troubleshooting it instead of selling it and working with your customers.

On the other hand, if you know how a system works, you don´t have to pay a lot of money for stuff you don´t need. oVirt does almost everything that VMWare does, and in a lot of the cases even does them better; in a more thought through way, that is more cloud-oriented than any other product. And the stuff oVirt can´t do when compared it´s competitors, are in my experience, stuff that we don´t use or care about any way:)

How would I "run" the oVirtEngine in "Debug Mode"…?  Any parameter needs to

I hope version 3.3 overcomes many of these setup issues.  Pray to the
almighty.

I saw alon merged a lot of patches yesterday, so definitely worth trying
if you can do a clean install with it (from nightly i guess)
its a brand new installer in 3.3.

merge - no... submitted.
but nothing related.

Subject: Re: [Users] Problem Creating "oVirt Engine"

Last week I dove deep into a fiends network and Active Directory
infrastructure trying to install oVirtEngine with default values.  I was
able to have AD DHCP recognize the VirtualBox oViertEngine VM and it took
the better part of three (3) hours to get the DHCP to recognize the
"Name"
of the computer; it would show the IP and MAC address, but with <empty>
name.  Finally I discovered that the name of the VM Fedora 18 "machine"
had
to be defines under "System Settings > Details >  Overview > Device Name;
t
had "localloop.localdomain" and chained to "ovirtenine" and reotedh P
showed
e Name of the  computer.  The DNS entry had to be made by hand since for
some reason the DHCP lease was not being copied to the DNS database.

Once both of these (DHCP and DNS where death with, oVirtEngine installed
as
documented - without errors and hangs.

Then I opened the Welcome to oVirt Engine / Management web page.  Upon
trying
to open any of the portals, I was asked to verify the "certificate";
which I
accepted.  I grid opening the User Portal and upon being presented the
Login
screen I entered "admin" as user, and "welcome" as the password (that's
what
I defined as password for the test VM I'm creating.)  I awaited several
minuted and nothing happened.  I shut down the oVirtEngine VM, and
increased
the VM RAM from 4 Gb to 6 Gb.  Rebooted and reconnected and was able to
enter the "Users Portal", albeit after waiting almost a minute.
Voila…!!!
It works…!!!

But then I realized it was a premature celebration.  When trying to enter
the
"Administration Portal", seeing the login screen, more than half an hour
passed and nothing happened; only a spinning cursor and hardly any disk
or
LAN activity in the oVirtEngine VM.

I copied all the entries in the engine.log related to today.  I'm
including
them as attachment so anyone can tell me why I can;t enter the
oVirtEngine
"Administrator Portal".  Neither can I get into the Reports Portal which
even shows a message with either a typo, of a british way of expressing
"legal" (it read "LeAgal" (the uppercase "A" is my way of showing the
typo).

Please let me know if you have any suggestions regarding logging into the
Administrator Portal.  Could it be that at least one node has to exist…?
In
the "engine.log" I can see several INFO and WAR messages, but the ERROR
ones
(which are very few) are to cryptic for me to make sense of them.

I saw the log, indeed looks strange.
In order to get all the data of the main screen (after login) several
queries are run to the engine in order to fetch the data
What I would suggest (unless someone else can see something I missed in
the log) is to consider to run ovirt-engine in such a way that debug
messages will be logged as well.

oVirt is beginning to come alive on my side; but not quite there yet.
Any
help appreciated..

In a conversation via IRC, someone suggested that I activate "dnsmask"
to
overcome what appears to be a DNS problem.  I'll try that other
possibility once I get home later today.

In the mean time, what do you mean by "fixing the hostname"…?  I opened
and
fixed the HOSTNAMES and changed it from "localhost-localdomain" to
"localhost.localdomain" and that made no difference.  Albeit, after
changing I didm;t restart, remove ovirtEngine ((using "engine-cleanup")
and reinstalled via "engine-setup".  Is that what you mean…?

In the mean time, the fact that even if I resolve the issue of
oVirtEngine
I will not be able to connect to the oVirt Nodes unless I have DNS
resolution, apparently means I should do something with resolving via
DNS
in my home LAN (i.e implement some sort of "DNS Cache" so I can resolve
my
home computers via DNS inside my LAN).

Any suggestions are MORE THAN WELCOME…!!!

Just to add to your knowledge, I began doing the oVirtEngine

MacBookPro; both experience the same problems.

can you please open a bug on installer to clearly state this name

Arr.…

On June 4 2013 I sent the following message trying to overcome the
FQDN issue:

hi oVirt Community.

This will be my first posting for help to the oVirt community, so
please bear with me I'f I'm not to the etiquette standards you
might
have already.

I'm trying to test oVirt as a FOSS Virtualization solution for
small-
to medium-sized healthcare organizations implementing various
health
information technology solutions (HIT) that the new health care
reform is requiring.  As a Clinical informatist, I'm very
concerned
about health care costs, hence I'm pushing for open source to
take a
wider stance in U.S. health care to reduce costs where possible
and
divert moneys to patient care.  Now enough with my altruistic
desires, and let go into the deep.

I'm trying to create "virtual machines" (using VirtualBox,
Parallels
and/or VMWare Workstation); mainly one for "oVirt Engine"; ind
later
a the second one for "oVirt Nodes".  This way, these VM's files
can
be copier to any hardware and underlying OS, so at least the
"Virt
Engine" is easily installed and brought-up to facilitate managing
oVirt Nodes.  I considered creating ".iso" images of each
component
(Engine and Nodes) but I'm afraid this will hit the wall for
linux
novices when installing the ".iso" images in different hardware
platforms (with different processors, number of cores, RAM,
chipsets,
etc.)

I've begun with creating a VM for oVirt Engine under Parallels
(albeit I began with VirtualBox, but drivers "client additions"
aren't compatible with Fedora 18 - so I'll migrate this Parallels
VM
to VB once it is operational)  Fedora 18 installed without a
single
problem.  I then installed all "oVirt Engine" requirements by
performing the instructions published in
http://www.ovirt.org/Download - that is:

First:
sudo yum localinstall
http://ovirt.org/releases/ovirt-release-fedora.noarch.rpm

Second:
sudo yum install -y ovirt-engine

Third:  …I get stuck…!!!

When I am performing the third step, I hit the fan.  Each time I
perform the third step shown in the aforementioned web page
(i.e. sudo engine-setup), the "Welcome to oVirt Engine setup
utility"
appears and begins to run until I reach the point where I need to
define a "Fully Qualified Domain Name."

NOTE - A video of how to install oVirt in a single machine,
entitled
"Installing oVirt on a single machine" (at:
http://www.ovirt.org/Documentation) shows the process (with some
exemptions because it was recorded while oVirt v3.x was in beta),
but
I don't get what the video shows…!!!

This is what I do and before getting stuck in the "FQDN thing"
(no
pun intended…!!!).  As third-step, I enter:

sudo engine-setup

I follow the prompts that appear after the "Welcome to oVirt
Engine
setup utility" is shown in the terminal window until I get to the
prompt:

Host fully qualified domain name. Note: this name should be fully
resolvable  [localhost.localdomain] :

If I press "Enter", I get…:

The IP (127.0.0.1) which was resolved from the FQDN
localhost.localdomain is not configured on any non loopback
interface
on this host

I figured that in order to define a FQDNm I had to expose my
"oVirt
Engine" VN to the Internet.  Since I'm doing all from home (where
I'm
limited to a "Dynamic IP", albeit, which hardly-ever changes) I
went
to DynDns.org <http://DynDns.org> and created an entry so my
"FQDN
Text-URL" would resolve to the IP where I'm at.  I also modified
my
Domain's DNS and entered a "DNS Alias" named "dcmanagement",
defining
this "DNS alias" to resolve into my IP by going to DynDNS.org
<http://DynDNS.org> to get my "Public IP".  Hence, the alias
"dcmanagement1" resolves by going to
"healthcareinfopartners.dyndns.org
<http://healthcareinfopartners.dyndns.org>" and gets my Public
IP.

NOTE - To test this setup, I do "ping" to either
"healthcareinfopartners.dyndns.org
<http://healthcareinfopartners.dyndns.org>" or
"dcmanagement1.healthcareinfopartners.dyndns.org
<http://dcmanagement1.healthcareinfopartners.dyndns.org>" and I
get
my Dynamic Public IP back.  Once the "Text URL" issue was
returning
my IP (as FQDN expect) I repeated the:

sudo engine-setup

Upon reaching:

Host fully qualified domain name. Note: this name should be fully
resolvable  [localhost.localdomain] :

I entered "dcmanagement1.healthcareinfopartners.com
<http://dcmanagement1.healthcareinfopartners.com>" and got my
Public
IP back with the following message:

The IP (70.45.xxx.xx) which was resolved from the FQDN
dcmanagement1.healthcareinfopartners.com
<http://dcmanagement1.healthcareinfopartners.com> is not
configured
on any non loopback interface on this host

Now, here's the question.  What does anyone suggest I do to
overcome
the FQDN setting and continue the installation process…?

<mailto:richiepiovanetti at healthcareinfopartners.com>

Looking at your evaluation of my ERROR_LOG, and HOSTNAME  (your
first
and second comments) you reassured my suspicion; to go to
"HOSTNAME"
and change "localhost-localdomain" to "localhost.localdomain".

When I go to your "third" comment is where all hell breaks loose.
You
say "/to make ovirt-engine work, you must have resolvable host via
dns
and resolved to non loopback address, so localhost will not work
for
you/".  That line appears to take me back to where I started a
month
and half ago (see copy of my original pos for help); "localhost"
and
"localdomain" seem to be biting me in the ass.

I was told that by adding an entry to the HOST file i'd overcome
the
need for a DNS.  Not exactly the same as what you suggest and/or
mean…?

Since I'm doing this work at home I have a Dynamic IP.  I opened
an
account on DynDNS.or so I could resolve DNSs to my "Dynamic IP";
which
changes every time the power goes out and back (i.e. about once a
month in Puerto Rico where I'm at, and were used to that as trees
and
tropical foliage can't be prevented from causing blackouts by
tripping
on power lines).

If I PING (from the "Terminal") healthcareinfopartners.dyndns.org<http://healthcareinfopartners.dyndns.org>
<http://healthcareinfopartners.dyndns.org/> I get my "Public IP at
The
Time" (i.e. my "Assigned Dynamic IP").

In my Godaddy.com<http://Godaddy.com> <http://godaddy.com/> DNS setting I have a CName
entry for:

* Host: dcmanagement1
* Points To: healthcareinfopartners.dyndns.org<http://healthcareinfopartners.dyndns.org>
<http://healthcareinfopartners.dyndns.org/>

<Screen Shot 2013-07-31 at 6.19.54 PM.png>

What should I use as FQDN then (which is resolved by GoDaddy's
DNS):

* healthcareinfopartners.dyndns.org<http://healthcareinfopartners.dyndns.org>
<http://healthcareinfopartners.dyndns.org/>
* dcmanagement1.healthcareinfopartners.dyndns.org<http://dcmanagement1.healthcareinfopartners.dyndns.org>
<http://dcmanagement1.healthcareinfopartners.dyndns.org/>
* something else…?

The problem I see with this is that the "oVirtEngine" VM will not
have
a valid Internet IP since it sits behind a router that is doing
NAT.
I could set a rule (ex. por forwarding, port triggering or a
static
route) in my router that states that if port X is being accessed
from
"the outside" (i.e. Internet) to route to my "oVirtEngine VM IP";
which is getting it's own IP from the router's DHCP.

What do you think now that you have a little more information
about
my
setup…?

HOSTS
# This is a sample HOSTS file prepared by Richie Piovanetti to
install
oVirt's "oVirtEngine"
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names.
# Each entry should be kept on an individual line.
# The IP address should be placed in the first column followed
by
the
corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at
least
one space.
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on
individual lines
# or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
# For example:
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com<http://rhino.acme.com> <http://rhino.acme.com/> # source
server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com<http://x.acme.com> <http://x.acme.com/> # x client host

127.0.0.1localhost.localdomain localhost
::1localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
10.211.55.7ovirt.localdomain.local localhost
# The line above begins with the IP of the local machine (host)
where
oVirtEngine resides

HOSTNAME
localhost-localdomain

Should be localhost or localhost.localdomain, but not the above.
Also, to make ovirt-engine work, you must have resolvable host
via
dns and resolved to non loopback address, so localhost will not
work
for you.

Subject: Re: [Users] Problem Creating "oVirt Engine"

Let me star by Saying, I;m using Fedora 18 Desktop; whack I've
removed
most
of the unnecessary stuff (games, libreOffice, mail server, and
other
"utilities") to strip it down.  Then I run YUM to "-update"
whatever is
left
in Fedora 18 Desktop.

When setting up the oVirt Engine, if I accept the
recommendations, the
"engine-setup" process hangs "try to restart the HTTPd"; gives
and
[ERROR}
and aborts the rest of the process.  I've included terminal
dumps
and logs
(i.e. "as attachments") in prior email everyone you to see…!!!
If
I DO
NOT
accept the recommendations related to the HTTPd, then the
setup
process
RUNS
AS EXPECTED and gives me port 8700 for the main page, and 8701
for all
oVirtEngine "portals".  I've looked at the engine-etup log and
if
aborts
when the python script is trying to restart HHTPd. Look at the
following:
2013_07_25_10_55_PM_TerminalOutput - Terminal output dump IF I
ACCEPT the
defaults
engine-setup_2013_07_25_22_35_14 - engine-setup "log" IF I
ACCEPT
the
defaults

I would like to know why httpd is not started at your machine.
Can you please send /var/log/httpd/error_log,
/var/log/httpd/ssl_error_log

2013_07_25_11_30_PM_TerminalOutput - Terminal output dump if I
DO
NOT
accept
the defaults
engine-setup_2013_07_25_23_27_15 - engine-setup "log" if I DO
NOT
accept
the
defaults

I've never reached a point where I've been asked to "accept of
reject a
"Certificate"; I've just been able to open the "oVirt Engine
Welcome
Screen"
(through port 8700 - ex. at http://ovirt.localhost.local:8700
<http://ovirt.localhost.local:8700/>")

I've had my concerns as to the following:
What about removing all HTTP (apache, tomcat, etc.) fro
fedora,
hence
stripping fedora even more, prior to running "engine-setup".
There must be an error trapping failure to restart HTTPd in
"engine-setup"
that needs to be attended.
…

Subject: Re: [Users] Problem Creating "oVirt Engine"

Herein the terminal output after removing oVirtEngine and
reinstalling;
BU
this time NOT overriding the https configuration.

Why not follow the recommendation?

Again, I was able to open the oVirt Engine "Welcome to Open
Virtualization
Manager" screen in Firefox using
"ovirt.localdomain.local:8700"
as URL,
but
can't enter any of the portals (requiring access to port
8701)

What do you get? what error in browser? you should accept the
certificate
before you are permitted by the browser to access this site.

Did what you said; removed existing installation and

oVirtEngine.  Below is the output in the terminal:

I DID NOT change the defaults of the installation defaults
related to
"overriding current https configuration", and as weeks
before,
the
installation hangs with an error when restarting the "httpd

I
include the terminal output and engine-setup log file for
you
to see.

I'll redo the removal and installation, this time process
but
next time
"NOT overriding https configuration".  Wait for a follow up
email with
these results.

Herein a collection of some of the logs in the path
specified.
Regarding
the
"engine.log" I'm including the one with the oldest date
in
the
filename.

Can you please remove installation using:
# engine-cleanup

Then reinstall:
# engine-setup

Please select integration with apache, and configure SSL.

After doing so, try to login using
http://localhost/webadmin,
if not
working please send the engine.log.

Thanks!
