Re: [ovirt-users] oVirt Gluster Hyperconverged problem
Hello Hanson, Below is the procedure to replace the host with same FQDN where existing host OS has to be re-installed. If the ovirt version you are running is 4.0, steps 14 and 15 are not required. You could reinstall the host from UI with HostedEngine->Deploy option. * 1. Move host (host3) to maintenance in UI 2. Re-install OS, subscribe to channels & install required packages, prepare bricks (if needed) 3. Check gluster peer status from working node to obtain UUID of host being replaced 4. Create brick directories by running the command “mkdir /rhgs/brick{1..3} 5. Put /etc/fstab entries in the new node by copying it from other nodes. 6. Run mount -a so that bricks are mounted. 7. Edit gluster UUID in /var/lib/glusterd/glusterd.info 8. Copy peer info from a working peer to /var/lib/glusterd/peers (without the peer info of node being replaced, here host3) 9. Create and remove a tmp dir at all volume mount points 10. Run the command “setfattr -n trusted.non-existent-key -v abc ” to set extended attributes and remove the extended attribute by running the command “ setfattr -x trusted.non-existent-key ” at all mount points. 11. Restart glusterd 12. Ensure heal is in progress and complete 13. Edit the host, and fetch fingerprint in Advanced details - as fingerprint is changed due to reinstallation 14. Run “hosted-engine --deploy --config-append=answers.conf” on host3 (Should be seen as additional host setup, provide the host number as known by other hosts) 15. hosted-engine deploy fails as the host being installed cannot be added to the engine with hostname already known error. Reinstalling from the UI and aborting HE setup seems to fix this. ovirt-ha-agent and ovirt-ha-broker services had to be started manually 1. Go to UI and click on reinstall button to reinstall the host. Reinstalling host might fail due not able to configure management network. 2. Go to Network Interfaces tab and click on “Setup Host Networks” and assign the networks ovirtmgmt and glusternw to the correct nics. 3. Wait for sometime for the Node to come up and start ovirt-ha-agent and ovirt-ha-broker services. * Thanks kasturi.

Re: [ovirt-users] oVirt + Gluster Hyperconverged
Hi Fernando, Not anything spectacular that I have seen, but I'm using 16GB minimum each node. Probably want to setup your hosted-engine as 2cpu, 4096mb ram. I believe that's the min reqs.
