Hello,

I'm trying to install oVirt 3.1, using an external postgres db running on RHEL6 
(postgresql-server-8.4.12-1.el6_2.x86_64). I'm getting the following error 
during engine-setup:

   Error: uuid-ossp extension is not loaded into the DB.
   Verify with the DB admin that uuid-ossp extension is loaded into newly 
created databases and rerun the setup.

The database log indicates:

   ERROR:  function uuid_generate_v1() does not exist at character 8
   HINT:  No function matches the given name and argument types. You might need 
to add explicit type casts.
   STATEMENT:  SELECT uuid_generate_v1();

I did some searching, and it appeared that I might need to add some 
postgres-contrib functions:

   psql -U postgres -d engine -f /usr/share/pgsql/contrib/uuid-ossp.sql

Unfortunately, it appears that the install script wants to create a temporary 
database and expects these functions to exist on its newly-created temp DB, not 
an already-existing database.

Indeed this step is required for postgresql 8.4.x (you have to install this script).
I did not encounter an issue with this script.
I ran

psql -U postgres -d engine -f /usr/share/pgsql/contrib/uuid-ossp.sql

And the script execution went smoothly (this scripts runs instructions of create or replace function so it is re-entrant).
Can you please elaborate more on the error you're getting?





Has anyone else been bitten by this? Or have any ideas how to address this?

Thanks,
Ian
