Description Tahlia Richardson 2016-09-05 01:46:01 UTC
From a docs comment at https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-virtualization/4.0/paged/self-hosted-engine-guide/chapter-2-deploying-self-hosted-engine#comment-1093251

"I would add that if you use a different /tmp directory to ensure vdsm:kvm can use it. If you create one with root by default, they will not be able to and you will not get a warning, the installed will fail with a "can't sudo" error. To use the RHV-M Virtual Appliance for the Manager installation, ensure one directory is at least 60 GB. The hosted-engine script first checks if /var/tmp has enough space to extract the appliance files. If not, you can specificy a different directory. [Ensure this directory is accessible by the vdsm user and kvm group.]" 

This should be updated in the SHE deployment procedures for both RHEL hosts and RHVH, and anywhere else in the SHE Guide (or elsewhere) that it is applicable.

It looks like this request is the same as in bug 1370374, so I'm closing this one as a duplicate.
