[ovirt-users] Ovirt engine-setup fails, "Cannot get JAVA_HOME"

[Carter Kindley]

Hey folks,

Icedtea-7 allows engine-setup to complete - almost... 

The setup now fails on cleanup: "[ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Closing up': Command '/usr/bin/systemctl' failed to execute". The log files indicate that systemctl is attempting to start a unit file (presumably ovirt-engine.service) which does not exist. I'm happy to write my own, but it would be awesome to see what is used as best practice from the oVirt community. 

Thanks so much for the responses already. I appreciate it!

Probably added by Alon.

Seems simplest to me.

That's Alon, iiuc...

Alon - any problem using the binary build?
