Description Artyom 2016-01-17 10:17:45 UTC
Description of problem:
I believe we need to disable cloud-init service after we finish deployment via appliance, because it take additional 2 minutes on boot of OS(cloud-init trying to find configuration and failed after timeout)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-1.3.2.2-2.el7ev.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Deploy hosted-engine via appliance
2. Wait for start of HE vm after deployment
3.

Actual results:
Start of vm takes too much time(because cloud-init timeout)

Expected results:
Start of vm not take too much time

I believe running:
systemctl mask cloud-final.service
and
systemctl mask cloud-config.service

Should do the trick.

Is this a bug or a RFE?

Comment 2 Artyom 2016-01-17 11:53:54 UTC
I think it more like RFE, but if we want to reduce down time of the engine, it necessary to disable cloud-init service on start up.

I fully agree - I think it's an important one to implement (and hopefully as easy as I've described above).

(BTW, perhaps there's a way to shorten the timeout for cloud-init - see bug 1039388 )

Comment 4 Artyom 2016-01-17 13:54:41 UTC
Yes, looks like fix for the bug 1039388, can help us, but I also see, that bug exist from 6.5 and it still has status new(

Doing it via cloud-init itself is pretty easy but of-course it will be effective only if the user will decide to use cloud-init.
If not it will be up to him to stop it since it's enabled by default on the appliance.

Comment 6 Sandro Bonazzola 2016-01-19 21:01:33 UTC
Impacting downtime and boot performances, I think this should be addressed in 3.6.

Checked on ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-1.3.3.3-1.el7ev.noarch
I can see that cloud-init still enabled on startup(see screenshot).
I do not really sure that mask help to avoid cloud-init startup, why just do not send:
systemctl disable cloud-init

Comment 8 Red Hat Bugzilla Rules Engine 2016-02-17 13:31:26 UTC
Target release should be placed once a package build is known to fix a issue. Since this bug is not modified, the target version has been reset. Please use target milestone to plan a fix for a oVirt release.

mask is stronger than disable; was your appliance el7 or el6 based?

Comment 11 Artyom 2016-02-22 11:28:03 UTC
I believe you right.
OS on appliance RHEL6.7.
