Fresh install of 4.2 self hosted engine.
Right after install, I tried to add local storage. I tried to put the
hosted engine VM into maint mode, but it forever just sat there in the
going into maint state, and never actually went into maint state.
The default Datacenter was in uninitialized state.
So I tried adding an NFS storage domain, which initialized the datacenter.
Now when I try and put the hosted engine VM into maint mode I get: Cannot
switch the hosts to maintenance mode. There are no available hosts capable
of running the engine VM.
What am I doing wrong?
You need to add a second host allowing the hosted engine to migrate in
order to move the host to maintenance.
This is bad terminology on oVirt's part. I was wanting to add local SATA
disk as I have a 1 node environment with no shared storage. To accomplish
what I really wanted to do, I had to change the datacenter storage type to
local storage, the a local file system option appeared in the create new
storage domain diaglog.
oVirt/RHEV team really needs a good documentation writer, as this storage
option isn't even documented in the storage section of the administration
guide.
oVirt is a community project. I'd be happy if you could send a patch to
improve the documentation around this!
Installing my first 4.2 system, and it's obvious the documentation writer
hasn't sat down and down and done a clean install. Lots of stuff missing.
Same as above - would be great to get constructive feedback and if
possible, fixes.

I've never looked at Proxmox, but it's taking the hobbyist and small
environment virtualization world by storm, especially after Xen's latest
licensing changes. oVirt should have this. But it's way too complicated
and way too fragile and way under documented.
