Well, it (the install process)requires some polishing. Any reason not to use 4.3.10 ? This is the only supported version for migration to 4.4
Can you share what were the errors ? Best Regards,Strahil Nikolov On Sat, Oct 30, 2021 at 20:25, Henning Sprang<henning.spr...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi Strahil, Thanks for your reply! Since we are using 4.3.9 from the installation ISO, issues regarding CentOS 8 rolling releases do not apply here.We will do that upgrade sooner or later, but then i would try to do local yum repository mirrors that are always snapshots. More or less how you suggest… So my success rate of 4 in 10 attempts has nothing to do with changing package or Ovirt versions. It happens when applying exactly the same procedure, scripts, installation media, on the exact same machine. So the input is always the same, but the result is at least 2 different error states in 6 cases, and only 4 times a working system. I would like to understand if that is normal and everybody needs their handful of attempts to deploy the engine until it succeeds or if this is a sign that we still do something wrong that we need to track down and fix.

Once this happens and your build succeeds, you will lock your repos and deploy from them again.Once you test each 'batch' of repos and confirm they work for you -> you will create a new set of repos ... oVirt is dynamic project with new features constantly comming up (and sometimes go away). Another approach is to use the ovirt Node image which is based on CentOS Stream and is validated in the dev infrastructure .

This means, we want to build a new 1 or 3 node Ovirt system each day up until 3 times a day. In my tests so far, the failure rate of the Ovirt engine deployment (via the included scripts as well as the web UI) turns out to be pretty high - it's between 40-60%, meaning until we have a running system, we would have to try the installation and/or final engine deployment about 2-4 times until we are successful. So far I could not identify clear error messages that let me tell how to fix the problem. Before going into details of the errors I would like to ask if people deeper into Ovirt would consider this a somewhat normal success rate, or if this indicates we are doing something generally wrong and we should definitely spend a few more hours or maybe days into finding sources of problems. More info about the system and errors * OVirt 4.3.9 (because the prototype was made and verified with that version - would be interesting to know, too, if it's strongly considered to upgrade for more stable installation/deployment) * The errors that appear are changing between the deployment process seeming not to be able to transfer the "LocalHostedEngine" VM to the glusterFS storage to become a "HostedEngine", and the other seems to be when the engine is already up and running, but never being really connected to the Ovirt system, continuously restarting, and also showing XFS filesystem errors in it's dmesg output. Any hints on our chances on getting this solved or requests for more information about the error are welcome - thanks in advance.
