Let me clarify (again?): All-in-one, meaning - both (standalone) engine and actual VM processes (vdsm/libvirtd/etc. and your VM's qemu processes) on the same machine - is not supported since 4.0 and is not tested routinely and systematically. The fact that it does usually work, and the fact that people sometimes report successes with this, is very nice to know, but does not change the situation :-) If all you have is a single physical machine that you want to use for oVirt, you have, basically, two options: 1. Use HCI (meaning, hosted-engine + gluster). That's, I guess, what most people do, at least in production. When it works (usually, and we definitely aim for always!), it's the easiest way to install and get things going, but is more complex under the hood and harder to understand/debug if you do not know quite well how things work internally. 2. Use some other virtualization method - I think most people use plain virt-manager - to create separate VMs, and imitate multiple-machines setup using these VMs. E.g. one machine for the (standalone) engine, another for storage (e.g. nfs/iscsi/gluster), a few more as hosts (with nested-kvm), etc. Latter, (2.), is what we use in CI - see projects lago and ovirt-system-tests if interested. Re the imageio upload issue: If it's indeed a result of using all-in-one, then please wait until Michael's bug is fixed, or see the other thread, or see above for using not-all-in-one :-) (But feel free to keep debugging this with Michael's help if both of you feel like it!).

Thanks. I was able to get a VM going. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get a 2nd ISO recognized to setup a different VM.

Second question: I left, and came back a while later, and have noticed that when I go to Storage -> Data Centers, that the Data Center I created (named 'Office') keeps going from Unresponsive to Activated. It keeps going back and forth, and I'm not sure why. That seems like an issue. Third Question: When I go to Compute -> Hosts, and go into the host, under Action Items, I see: "A new version is available. Upgrade." with a link. Yet from the console, when I run `yum update`, nothing is available to update. I already clicked on that Upgrade link once, and allowed the whole host to reboot... and that Action Item is still there. That also seems weird. I would also feel a lot more comfortable about clicking on "Upgrade" if I had more details - what is it upgrading "from" and what is it upgrading "to"?

I see you are using 4.4 standalone; by standalone do you mean all-in-one? or separate engine and hosts? In 4.4 the change in imageio means it's not compatible with all-in-one anymore, i'll be raising a bug request to support this later today (but officially all-in-one support ended in 4.0 so i don't know if the bug will be actioned).

[ovirt-users] Re: Actual oVirt install questions
I'm not sure if I'm actually importing the CA certificate into Firefox properly. This Red Hat solution suggests that Firefox should prompt me to install the cert when I download it: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/95103 Instead, it is just downloading and displaying the certificate in plaintext. Perhaps this is because I'm on a newer version of Firefox? Anyway, it doesn't appear that I'm able to attach a CD / ISO to the VM even from the console, which I was hoping would be an option. So at this point, my install is kind of useless. :) Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email. ‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐ On Friday, August 21, 2020 8:19 PM, David White via Users wrote: > > Please see my reply from a few minutes ago to the thread > > "[ovirt-users] ovirt-imageio : can't upload / download". > > Thank you. > I read through the "ovirt-imageio: can't upload / download" thread, and your > brief glossary was very helpful.

Please see my reply from a few minutes ago to the thread
"[ovirt-users] ovirt-imageio : can't upload / download".
engine-setup sets up an engine, after it's installed, inside some machine.
ovirt-hosted-engine-setup (or the cockpit UI) sets up a hosted-engine.
It creates a VM and sets up the engine inside it (also using
engine-setup in the process, non-interactively).

There is also "HCI", which cockpit also allows you to setup - storage
is gluster, setup on the same host(s).

If you do this mainly for learning, then I suggest that you first play
with a standalone engine. Install and setup an engine somewhere (can
be a physical machine or a VM managed e.g. by virt-manager), Add a
host (can be another VM, using nested-kvm), add storage (can be nfs or
iscsi on another VM), create VMs etc., get a feeling for it. Then, try
hosted-engine - using CLI or cockpit - can also be in a VM (again,
nested-kvm).
If it's for production, or in preparation for production, and you do
not have time to play with all the options, spend some time reading
and designing what you intend to do, then do this first on a test
setup (made of VMs) and then on the actual production machines.

This does setup also storage.
If you meant to say that CLI does not allow setting HCI, then, sadly,
I do not know this well, never tried it myself :-(, but in principle
should be doable - search for "gdeploy".

See also the reply of Parth Dhanjal.
If still not clear/solved, please provide more details - the exact
question, your answer, relevant snippet from the logs.
You can of course replace real names with some placeholders if you do
not want to reveal them.
Good luck and best regards,

[ovirt-users] Re: Actual oVirt install questions
Hey!
Have you added the hostname to the known_hosts file or setup passwordless
ssh for the single node?
Ansible requires a passwordless ssh to ensure root access to automate the
installation process.
If yes, then probably this issue is fixed in the next build of
cockpit-ovirt.
Can you try to upgrade and check again?
