[Users] Recommended OS for stability and centralized NFS storage?

[Sven Kieske]

Hi,

i just want to add some additional info which I didn't saw
mentioned anywhere.

When you install from the ovirt.org repo
you need some additional packages from EPEL.

So, after installing EPEL, use this ovirt.org repo:

yum install
http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/3.3/rpm/EL/6/noarch/ovirt-release-el6-8-1.noarch.rpm
(if you want 3.3)

now, install the following EPEL packages:

yum install novnc python-ply python-kitchen python-daemon

now _deactivate_ epel! Why? Well EPEL holds also ovirt-packages, which
have different versions then the ones provided via ovirt.org repo, you
don't want to mix them:

sed -i 's/enabled=1/enabled=0/' /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo


now, install ovirt-engine:

yum install ovirt-engine

tested and works with CentOS 6.4 x64 and oVirt 3.3

HTH

Sven

PS: On a personal note: 3.2 is still more stable than 3.3, but ymmv
for nodes I would stick with CentOS minimal + VDSM from ovirt.org repo
