Hey there! I like your video a lot, it is very informative and shows what needs to be done to get it up and running. As an "old man" as I am, I already have glasses, but sometimes I found it hard to read the little tiny characters in your terminal windows. It would be great if you could increase their size significantly, so I would be able to actually see what you are doing and do no longer have to guess. Keep on coming! I will check by from time to time.
Hay Craig, First I enjoyed your video and let me tell you that was a lot of stuffs on the plate and never worry if some went astray, secondly I suffered a lot as you with iLO4 and icedTea on a linux machine...however if you get the firmware upgraded on your server chasis through the iLO-easily done- it gives you the nice HTML5 option that solved the buggy pain in the neck java issue :) Cheers
Hello, I do not understand what is o be written on 9:52 Search Domains? what on minute 20:15 on Engine VM FQDN? I have very shallow idea on networking. Thanks in advance.
I'm wondering if the "Insufficient space" error you were getting when adding the iSCSI to the engine setup was because the ZVOL was thin provisioned on FreeNas...
Hi, this was a informative video. I have been experimenting and learning about RHV & RHHI 4.3. I wish your section on configuring the network/ethernets within node installation was more visible. Even with making this youtube video full screen, I was unable to view your entries for this section. Also in this video you referenced VLAN settings: I wish you delved more on this. Maybe you can make a video on your network setup to aid understanding the steps you are performing here
HI...The walk through is really good but the problem is, at high resolution the characters are too small and not visible even on laptop...If you can you plz repost the videos...
Interesting - I just failed to install the oVirt "distro" on my Dell lab machine - seems like it's based on centos 7, which doesn't see my network cards, so I've given up and installed Ubuntu server, and am going to use Terraform with a KVM provider. oVirt looks great, so if I get time I'll install it on top of the Ubuntu server. Trouble is, I loathe the management required to run Java apps - I much prefer the Go "single binary" thing, so I was sad to see the oVirt dependencies on the "oVirt on Ubuntu page". Your Java/iLO problem is exactly what I hate about Java - and everybody always points at the other guy "it's his fault". oVirt looks fantastic - especially in your use-case; for giving a UI to users. I guess Terraform is a completely different approach. Very nice video, BTW.
2 things, if you don't mind: 1. Don't use the NG ISO, install CentOS 7.x latest and then add the oVirt REPO and continue from there. 2. for the Hosted Engine datastore, don't use iSCSI, use NFS, it would save you some time and headache if you want to re-install the system but keep the old configuration of the Hosted Engine.
Hey Hetz, thanks for the comment, always looking to learn :) Have you had a better experience with that method? I previously used the Cent7 method, though granted that was in the 3.x series and didnt have such good results. I found it was really powerful to use that if you wanted to customise the hypervisor (maybe you want to run ceph on there too or have some weird drivers for odd hardware), but otherwise my experience has been better using the NG iso. Like most things it probably depends on your use case and how you want to manage your env. I have drank enough of the cool-aid to be comfortable with an opinionated build, but I am also really curious what the pros/cons are for you? wrt hosted-engine on NFS vs iscsi, why is that? Easier to make portable/snapshot/clone?
Thanks for watching! I've never really gotten around to running proxmox but wanted to try it for a while. I can definitely see the appeal of it, tell me if I am wrong but it seems to be a more standalone experience but with quite a few of the management benefits on top like scheduled backups and such.
@@eti8532 You can cluster proxmox with integrated ceph storage and get HA and live migration etc. It's rock solid, but doesn't have the full feature set that ovirt has eg, vm affinity, proper terraform/ansible support etc. Much simpler to set up though as there's no management vm.

Hi, I tried to install Ovirt 4.4.0, but I got this error. I am using bonding mode 4, but I think that ins't the problem. Any idea please? Congratulations by the video. [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Unable to start service libvirtd: Job for libvirtd.service failed because the control process exited with error code.

I'm having problems installing 4.4 too. One thing I had to do just to try to install is add manual entry for the FQDN Engine on /etc/hosts (since I don't have an dns for it), but got error while the installing process, I have learned that I have to add a FQDN for the host as well, will try that and try installing again. One more thing, that is really annoying, everytime it fails to install (for whatever reason) I had to reinstall centos 8.1 (hypervisor OS I'm using), because trying to uninstall / remove ovirt didn't work.
I was lost as to how you were accessing your machine until i googled what ilo was... I thought you were installing this on an existing vm with some other kind of setup that i wasn't privy to... lol I shouldn't watch videos like this when I'm half asleep...
It's real nice when Jon Richardson teaches you about oVirt!
And he's not being miserable either

OTOH, I could just buy a more modern server, and run oVirt. Hmmm.

I installed the virt and proxmox here at home on a weaker machine and I liked the proxmox more, lightweight, it doesn't need a heavy vm to manage.
Thanks for watching! I've never really gotten around to running proxmox but wanted to try it for a while. I can definitely see the appeal of it, tell me if I am wrong but it seems to be a more standalone experience but with quite a few of the management benefits on top like scheduled backups and such.

Why not use NFS for your hosted engine? Its easier IMO. Especially if you ever want to start over and keep your config...
Nice gem about that iLO console issue! +1 karma :)
Thanks for watching, glad it was useful :)
@@eti8532 Yeah... you have really good content there! :) Have a nice day/night.. :)
Thank you :) you too!
Why not just use the html5 console??? Works great for me on iLO4 firmware 2.77 and no Java required.
@@mikecone5355 Do you mean web page itself or built-in terminal?

I've found that if you put a '100.00' as a disk size then it works :) Or any other number with a decimal point.
