Hello oVirt folks.
I’m a traitor of the Xen movement and was looking for some good alternatives
for XenServer hypervisors. I was aware of KVM for a long time but I was missing
a more professional and appliance feeling of the product, and oVirt appears to
deliver exactly what I’m looking for.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that Xen is not good, I’m looking for equal
or better alternatives, but I’m starting to get frustrated with oVirt.
Firstly I’ve tried to install the oVirt Node on a VM in VMware Fusion on my
notebook, it was a no go. For whatever reasons I don’t know vdsmd.service and
libvirtd failed to start. I make sure that I was running with EPT support
enabled to achieve nested virtualization, but as I said: it was a no go.
So I’ve decommissioned a XenServer machine that was in production just to try
oVirt. The hardware is not new, but’s it’s very capable: Dual Xeon E5506 with
48GB of system RAM, but I can’t get the hosted engine to work, it always
insults my hardware: --- Hosted Engine deployment failed: this system is not
reliable, please check the issue,fix and redeploy.
It’s definitely a problem on the storage subsystem, the error is just random,
at this moment I’ve got:
[ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Misc configuration': [-32605] No response
for JSON-RPC StorageDomain.detach request.
But on other tries it came up with something like this:
No response for JSON-RPC Volume.getSize request.
I was thinking that the problem was on the NFSv3 server on our FreeNAS box, so
I’ve changed to an iSCSI backend, but the problem continues. This happens at
the very end of the ovirt-hosted-engine-setup command, which leads me to
believe that’s an oVirt issue. The OVA was already copied and deployed to the
storage:

Log file is located at
/var/log/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-20170623023424-o9rbt0.log
At this point I really don’t know what I should try. And the log file is too
verborragic (hoping this word exists) to look for errors.
Any guidance?
Thanks,
V.
