Description Simone Tiraboschi 2016-05-18 07:25:52 UTC
Description of problem:
In the normal flow, host-deploy will disable NetworkManager if active.
When host-deploy runs, the management bridge has already been created and the engine VM is already running so, disabling NetworkManager on the fly can be risky for the engine VM networking.
To avoid that, ovirt-hosted-engine-setup will check NetworkManager status and eventually ask the user to stop, this behavior is not configurable.
Making it configurable (default enforcing) can enable other scenarios.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.3.6.1

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. activate NetworkManager
2. run hosted-engine --deploy


Actual results:
It checks for NM status and asks to disable it before proceeding.

Expected results:
The check on NetworkManager can be optionally skipped via answerfile, in that case hosted-engine-setup will also instruct host-deploy to do the same.

Additional info:
oVirt Next Generation Node uses NetworkManager

          It has been detected that this program is executed through an SSH connection without using screen.
          Continuing with the installation may lead to broken installation if the network connection fails.
          It is highly recommended to abort the installation and run it inside a screen session using command "screen".
          Do you want to continue anyway? (Yes, No)[No]: yes

I've received the "[ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Programs detection': hosted-engine cannot be deployed while NetworkManager is running, please stop and disable it before proceeding" and setting this bug status to verified, as it works as required.

After I've disabled the NetworkManager, deployment was executed without any issues.
