Currently my state is that I am comming up with a kickstart which can be used by lmc (or imgfac) to generate an "image" 13:13:23 for now it's a plain qcow2 image, but the goal is to finally have an ova image. 13:13:38 There are three bigger parts I am looking at. 13:14:03 1. Build process: Make sure it works with lmc and imgfac (actively maintained) 13:14:36 2. Get a good platform ks -- I'm looking if I can leverage some Fedora kickstarts for other appliance like images to get a good package set. 13:14:47 3. Engine specific configuration / installation 13:14:58 I've started on 1. and 2. 13:15:08 I've got a kickstart which can be turned into an image. 13:15:30 The imgfac people where helpful and provided some deatils on how to directly created a OVA from the ks in one pass (previously two passes). 13:15:38 Tho I have not tested it yet. 13:15:56 My draft repo is here: 13:15:58 #link https://github.com/fabiand/ovirt-appliance/ 13:15:58 what's installed on the appliance, engine + node? 13:16:07 jboggs, only engine 13:16:27 The idea with that appliance is, that it is the "payload" for you feature :) 13:16:55 So basically you can take this oVirt Appliance (actually oVirt Engine Appliance) and provide it to Node, and node set's it up as a new VM. 13:16:56 ah ok yeah much easier to have it prebuilt in this case 13:17:00 yeah .. 13:18:21 jboggs, the good thing is also that you - or the hosted.engine plugin - doesn't need to exactly know what is needed for a correct Engine VM 13:18:25 basically it's split .. 13:18:53 Bottom line for now: 13:19:49 #item Status: Platform kickstart and lmc/imgfac can be used to build an image, Engine specific work is not started 13:20:07 jboggs, do you want to continue? 13:20:13 #item 1038616 [RFE] Support for hosted engine (jboggs@redhat.com) 13:20:22 #item wiki page: http://www.ovirt.org/Node_Hosted_Engine 13:21:02 Still need to revist again, there were some netowkring/setup issues when trying to complete the install, like the node had been fenced 13:21:28 Also when the node restarted, storage wasn't assembling correctly, due to vdsm configuration that we need to persist 13:21:55 and the vm network was unable to reach anything, likely just another persistance issue we need to capture 13:22:04 jboggs, where did the network not come up correctly? 13:22:13 jboggs, on the host or guest? 13:22:52 it's up but it's just not routing 13:23:10 on the host/node side? 13:23:24 engine vm 13:23:40 can reach the console via vnc but can't get to host/outside network 13:23:54 ah okay .. 13:24:11 jboggs, to start from the beginning 13:24:16 It sounds like you have a working plugin? 13:24:49 yes pending the remaining issues 13:25:03 was going to pickup again for F20 13:25:22 okay 13:25:34 And the plugin - adds a page to the TUI I guess, and pulls in some packages? 13:25:41 How is the setup triggered? 13:26:05 v2v is fun. 13:27:10 triggered via a setup page. Also due to the ssh disconnect, screen is pulled in so you can reconnect if you timeout 13:27:24 via console not an issue 13:30:12 jboggs, nice the solution with using screen 13:30:25 jboggs, does the engine-setup also create the OS inside the VM? 13:30:38 or does it just create the VM container (so basically just the machine, not the OS)? 13:30:53 * fabiand just tries to get the whole picture 13:31:20 It runs the scripts provided by ovirt-hosted-engine-setup 13:31:26 #item Patch for feature is in gerrit: http://gerrit.ovirt.org/26201 13:31:43 okay .. 13:31:47 which creates the vm, you install it, setup the repos, install engine, then it registers the node to engine 13:31:57 okay .. 13:32:04 then swaps it over to a HA service to monitor it 13:32:07 thanks, that is insightful .. 13:32:14 oh okay .. nifty :-P 13:32:39 not our scripts if you were thinking that lol 13:32:47 jboggs, or doron, do you know if ovirt-hosted-engine-setup also takes a link to an appliance to setup the VM? 13:32:53 instead of letting the user manually create it? 13:32:58 jboggs, ;) 13:33:27 jboggs, do you know who works on the hosted-engine-setup? 13:36:06 fabiand, http://www.ovirt.org/User:Scohen according to wiki 13:36:30 fabiand, also sbonazzo 13:36:37 jboggs, ack thanks 13:36:50 because we should make sure that engine-setup can consume an appliance 13:37:19 #item Status: Plugin is available some issue with the guest networking 13:39:54 didi: can you remind me wat hosted engine setup can use for an image? 13:40:22 iirc ovf. 13:41:36 fabiand: jboggs ^^^^^^ 13:42:02 doron, thanks 13:42:18 didi, yes, in general it's the question if "hes" can use an image 13:44:39 jboggs, okay - seems as if didi is busy :) 13:44:54 jboggs, thanks for this update 13:45:10 tried alot of times same problem 13:45:14 seems as if rbarry ain't around, I'll try to catch up with hime via email .. 13:45:35 the other two virtual machines are running 13:45:36 #action fabiand to follow up with rbarry on 3.5 feature 13:45:41 I create the third 13:45:49 I create the disk 13:45:56 I try to install 13:45:58 jboggs, could you drop an email to didi to see if hosted-engine-setup can take an image? 13:46:02 the disk disappears 13:46:05 sure 13:46:23 jboggs, and could you the update the plugin to also take the image url and pass this to the steup? 13:46:49 will do 13:46:52 Thanks 13:47:00 please help 13:47:19 #action jboggs to sync with didi on hosted-engine-setup and consuming appliance images 13:47:27 #topic Other Items 13:47:29 xevilstar, what's the problem? 13:48:11 I have installed two virtual machines whose are running 13:48:32 If there are no other items then I close this lengthy meeting :) 13:48:34 i install the third 13:48:43 add the disk to it with no error messages 13:48:45 Going once 13:48:57 the disc disappears 13:49:08 Anyone know how I can get around the 8TB limit in the creation of VD's via the web interface? 13:49:12 twice 13:49:22 when I launch run once 13:49:54 Thanks 13:49:56 #endmeeting
