[ovirt-users] oVirt 3.5 -> 3.6 engine upgrade failure

[Phil Daws]

Hello,

I have been having an issue with noVNC where it would not connect too the console of my machines.

So, I though I would take the plunge and upgrade the engine which is standalone on a VM Workstation 10 guest running CentOS 6.

The steps I followed were:

# yum install http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release36.rpm
# yum update "ovirt-engine-setup*"
# engine-setup

followed the prompts until completion:

[ INFO  ] Starting engine service
[ INFO  ] Restarting httpd
[ INFO  ] Stage: Clean up
          Log file is located at /var/log/ovirt-engine/setup/ovirt-engine-setup-20151105171406-g6bzdc.log
[ INFO  ] Generating answer file '/var/lib/ovirt-engine/setup/answers/20151105172125-setup.conf'
[ INFO  ] Stage: Pre-termination
[ INFO  ] Stage: Termination
[ INFO  ] Execution of setup completed successfully

I then went to the shown URL https://engine-manager.mydomain.com:443/ovirt-engine

and was greated with a 404 file not found error :(  On checking /var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log its reporting:

2015-11-05 17:21:44,025 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.Backend] (ServerService Thread Pool -- 41) [] Error during initialization: java.lang.RuntimeException: osinfo properties syntax error: /etc/ovirt-engine/osinfo.conf.d/10-osinfo.properties: 7, 32: error: Encountered " <OS_UNIQUE_NAME> "numberOsCpus "" at line 7, column 33.
Was expecting one of:
    "ram" ...
    "disksize" ...
    "numberOfCpus" ...

        at org.ovirt.engine.core.utils.osinfo.OsInfoPreferencesLoader.init(OsInfoPreferencesLoader.java:37) [utils.jar:]

It very much looks like the engine is not supported on a VM guest :(

All help appreciated please! :)

Thanks, Phil
