Several minutes after trying to test, I feel less excited because of many early issues. I hope you’ll be able to help me. Here is my story.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I’ve installed ovirt-engine on Fedora 16 VM(ESXi 4.1) and I have installed an ovirt-node 2.3.0-1.0.fc16 from iso on a Dell Poweredge 2950 server.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>The ovirt-engine is running just fine.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Problems come with the ovirt-node.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>First, during installation, language selection is broken : it does not work. I have selected French keyboard, and layout remained QWERTY (French layout is AZERTY)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Then, after installation, you login (with the broken layout it’s boring to enter ‘admin’) but as a VMWare user, you like the feeling that looks like VMWare. Good point.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Ok, now you can change the keyboard layout again…, let’s do this. You do it a first time : still not working (when you enter a hostname for example). Let’s do it a second time : “Fuck!!!”. Python has just output tons of nasty messages about recursion depth issues and you cannot see the menu anymore…So you reboot the host, take a coffee while it is testing its RAM, and avoid going into the keyboard layout menu again because you fear for your loss time.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>You enable SSH, you register with ovirt-engine, fine, you should be able to work now.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Let’s see what you can do with SSH from your workstation :<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>“Fuck!!” (again), you now have to mirror the broken keyboard layout to type it correctly. So nasty…<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Ok, you have the ncurse menu. And then, after several seconds, you loose SSH connection. WTF ?! You cannot connect again. You have to go to the server lab because you don’t have IP KVM for remote display.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Keep cool, maybe you’ll be able to see what’s going on from the ovirt-engine GUI. Nice, this guy has seen the node, so you approve it. Host is up. No, wait for it… down after 30s. Engine cannot connect to node anymore.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>You still don’t have remote display on your node. You loose.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I will move to the node display tomorrow to see what’s happening to it. I suppose I will need to give you tons of dump later.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I know this is free software, but free software does not mean broken software.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I’m a bit afraid with my first experience with this one.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Do you know those issues ?! I have looked at bug tracker, there is no post about all those problems.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Will I get more chance by installing VDSM on raw Fedora or whatever than with ovirt-node ?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Guys, thanks for your time.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Vince<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><br />--
