[ovirt-users] Frustration and Contradictory Guidance?

[Eriks Goodwin]

Hi all, 

I have been working on building a new oVirt 3.6 deployment for more than two weeks now and a multitude of things are frustrating my attempts... Would someone please point me to the "right" HOWTO article for deploying a production-grade oVirt 3.6.x system with HA hosted engine? 

I spent almost two weeks just trying to get the networking straight--only to have VDSM overwrite all my hard work and totally break my networking (I was using a bonded set of NICs with bridges and VLANs for ovirt-management, ovirt-storage, and local-lan.). 

Once I abandoned VLANs and installed a third physical NIC, I was able to install the first node and the hosted engine-- but after I got things "working" now I receive constantly cycling email messages for ovirt-hosted-engine state transition: ReinitializeFSM-EngineStarting, EngineStarting-EngineUp, and StartState-ReinitializeFSM 

When I try to follow the instructions to add engines for HA, the system keep faulting that it is unable to find the answer file it needs on node 2. 

And now that I finally figured out that I needed to add "another" storage domain for the datacenter to initialize, the addition of new hosted-engine deployments is blocked by the presence of the attached storage domain. 

So, all of that said.... is there a HOWTO written specifically for CentOS 7 that does not want me to kill Network Manager and switch from FirewallD back to iptables--and does not assume I want to use glusterfs? 

I have two sets of HP Proliant servers I want to use for this: 4 DL380 G6s and 4 DL380G5s, plus one G5 which is my initial NFS3 share 

For such an AWESOME project, I find it really disappointing that the documentation is so poor/outdated. :-( 

Thanks, 
Eriks
