Warning!
I have been experiencing a number of warnings due to key retrieval failures. For example, oVirts! Simplest method to remedy the problem is browse their yum repo for a public folder and identify the key file(s) and import using rpm.
# rpm --import http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/keys/RPM-GPG-ovirt
oVirt Deploy
Time to deploy oVirt and oVirt Engine Appliance on the first Compute host. The minimum requirements for the appliance are 2 CPU cores and 4 GB RAM and recommended requirements are 4 CPU cores and 16 GB RAM as described at http://wiki.ovirt.org/documentation/quickstart/quickstart-guide/. I will be using 4 CPU cores and 8 GB RAM.
If using SSH and not using screen or tmux the deployment will complain and advise to use screen. I prefer tmux and it can be installed using yum install tmux.
# tmux
# hosted-engine --deploy
After responding to a number of questions, a summary will be displayed before installation and configuration. My summary is shown below, but it fails to reflect several options. I, typically, accepted the defaults but the notable exceptions are NFSv4 for the storage connection, storage location nasv.mydomain.net:/mnt/r10vol/eng, iptables which disables firewalld, spice (qxl) for remote management of the appliance, and static IP address of 192.168.101.21 for the appliance.

If you receive an error that NetworkManager is running. You failed to remove NetworkManager as referenced in article 7. Alternatively, you can stop and mask the NetworkManager service to meet the installation requirements.
# systemctl stop NetworkManager
# systemctl mask NetworkManager
After deploy completes, you will be back at a prompt, however, the oVirt Engine Appliance is busy in the background including rebooting. Use the hosted-engine --vm-status to review.
[root@node1 ~]# hosted-engine --vm-status

Once it is up, do not be alarmed if it takes five to ten minutes to respond with a prompt for credentials. It will be a matter seconds once it up and running completely.
Connect using your browser, select "Administration Portal, then authenticate using "admin" and the password you set during the installation. You should be rewarded with this page displaying:
Adding 2nd Compute Host
Adding an additional Compute host is pretty simple, however, there are a couple gotchas.
First, you may remember seeing the following if not using an external DNS host but /etc/hosts from the deployment of the first Compute host.
Add lines for the appliance itself and for this host to /etc/hosts on the engine VM?
Note: ensuring that this host could resolve the engine VM hostname is still up to you.
What is not clearly stated is that you must, also, add to the appliance's /etc/hosts any additional Compute hosts you add. If you do not, you will be presented with this error when executing hosted-engine --deploy.
[ ERROR ] Cannot automatically add the host to cluster Default: Cannot add Host. Connecting to host via SSH has failed, verify that the host is reachable (IP address, routable address etc.) You may refer to the engine.log file for further details.
Pretty damn ambiguous, but connecting via SSH to the appliance and updating /etc/hosts resolves the error in our scenario.
[root@eng ~]# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
192.168.101.11 node1.mydomain.net
192.168.101.12 node2.mydomain.net
192.168.101.21 eng.mydomain.net
Also, you will be prompted for a configuration file.
[WARNING] A configuration file must be supplied to deploy Hosted Engine on an additional host. The answer file may be fetched from an active HE host using scp. If you do not want to download it automatically you can abort the setup answering no to the following question. Do you want to scp the answer file from another HE host? (Yes, No)[Yes]:
When prompted for the host name or IP address, use the first Compute host's not the oVirt Engine Appliance.
Now execute the commands below to install, execute, and complete the installation.
[root@node2 ~]# yum install -y http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release36.rpm
[root@node2 ~]# yum install -y ovirt-hosted-engine-setup

NFS Testing
If you ran into problems with storage during the initial deploy, test your storage connectivity. oVirt's website provides a brief and excellent guide found here:
The basic process is to su to user vdsm, mount the NFS export, then create a file to verify access and ownership. The deploy script creates user vdsm and group kvm with uid and gid of 36.
[root@node1 ~]# mkdir /tmp/tmpmnt
[root@node1 ~]# su - vdsm -s /bin/bash
Last login: Tue Mar 22 23:36:03 PDT 2016 on pts/2

oVirt Removal
references:
- https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/how-to/hosted-engine/
- http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2014-May/024423.html
In the process of designing the cluster and authoring this document, it was invaluable to be able to remove oVirt and take, yet, another run at the installation. Depending on how far you get into the installation, resuming the deployment may not be plausible. Below is an example of the cleanup process.
# hosted-engine --set-maintenance --mode=global
# hosted-engine --vm-poweroff
Copy the bash script below then vi ovirtcleanup.sh, insert, and paste.
#!/bin/bash
echo "stopping services"
service vdsmd stop 2>/dev/null
service supervdsmd stop 2>/dev/null
initctl stop libvirtd 2>/dev/null
echo "removing packages"
yum remove \*ovirt\* \*vdsm\* \*libvirt\*
rm -fR /etc/*ovirt* /etc/*vdsm* /etc/*libvirt* /etc/pki/vdsm
FILES=" /etc/init/libvirtd.conf"
FILES+=" /etc/libvirt/nwfilter/vdsm-no-mac-spoofing.xml"
FILES+=" /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/answers.conf"
FILES+=" etc/vdsm/vdsm.conf"
FILES+=" etc/pki/vdsm/*/*.pem"
FILES+=" etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem"
FILES+=" etc/pki/libvirt/*.pem"
FILES+=" etc/pki/libvirt/private/*.pem"
for f in $FILES
do
[ ! -e $f ] && echo "? $f already missing" && continue
echo "- removing $f"
rm -f $f && continue
echo "! error removing $f"
exit 1
done
DIRS="/etc/ovirt-hosted-engine /var/lib/libvirt/ /var/lib/vdsm/ /var/lib/ovirt-hosted-engine-* /var/log/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/ /var/cache/libvirt/"
for d in $DIRS
do
[ ! -d $f ] && echo "? $d already missing" && continue
echo "- removing $d"
rm -fR $d && continue
echo "! error removing $d"
exit 1
done
Set the file to be executable via chmod 700 ovirtcleanup.sh then ./ovirtcleanup.sh. The result is the removal of packages and cleanup of local file system.
The last step is to clean up the NFS Data storage. In my case, I connect to FreeNAS via SSH and execute rm -fr /mnt/r10vol/data/*.
admin@local password reset
SSH to the oVirt Engine and execute:
ovirt-aaa-jdbc-tool user password-reset admin --password-valid-to="2025-08-15 10:30:00Z"
Promiscuous
If a virtual machines requires running interfaces in promiscuous mode, review the link below.
