Re: [Users] AllInOne installation issue
I ran into this the other night, and just went ahead and did a separate management server. With the work around mentioned earlier, having a hosts file entry for something like vmhost pointing to the resolvable IP of the server, made the install complete successfully. Maybe an option during the install process to add an entry to the hosts file?

Re: [Users] iSCSI multipath with EqualLogic SAN
We have 2 Equallogic PS4100s. And someone more knowledgeable may prove me wrong here but, Multipathd is not my most favorite thing to configure, but you can configure your nodes to use the other paths using the command line on the Centos nodes. Yeah Dell will tell you that they want you to use their software (like the mem plugin in Vmware) but the Linux OS will see the other paths and treat it like any other SAN, you are just going to have to configure them to use them. The link sent earlier in the thread is the official guide to doing that. https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/pdf/DM_Multipath/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-6-DM_Multipath-en-US.pdf Here is another Doc I used that is for Rhel5 but I beleive the multipath commands are the same: http://www.equallogic.com/WorkArea/downloadasset.aspx?id=8727 On Thu, Feb 21, 2013 at 1:09 PM, Jonathan Horne wrote: > Ive discussed this at length with dell's EQ support team, and on a regular > system that's connected in to an equallogic san, all the iscsi ports would > be on the same subnet.

Re: [Users] NFS Advanced Parameters Greyed out on Existing Storage Domains
Thank you for the speedy clarification.

[Users] NFS Advanced Parameters Greyed out on Existing Storage Domains
So I have read this BZ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=855729 and these related ovirt BZs http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/8110/ http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/8797/ http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/8798/ So forgive me but I am a little confused. I have some existing NFS Storage domains that I was not paying attention and attached without doing any advanced parameters in RHEV 3.1 Now the NFS Advanced Parameters box is greyed out. So now that I have attached these domains I cannot change the advanced nfs option such as change it to Nfs4 from 3 or rsize and wsize?
