I've looked at your setup.log and you can safely ignore exceptions around dnf, they are logged only in DEBUG level and those exceptions are part of out detection if dnf is available. The actual problem is missing vdsm package. What OS are you using on the hosts? Looking at your output: > [root@cridev-kvm01 ~]# rpm -qa | grep ovirt > ovirt-release36-3.6.6-1.noarch > libgovirt-0.3.2-2.el6.x86_64 I guess that you want to use Centos/RHEL 6, right? Please be aware that EL6 is no longer supported as host OS (only engine can still run on EL6 in oVirt 3.6), so you have two options: 1. Install CentOS/RHEL 7 on your hosts 2. If you really need EL6 on hosts, you can enable oVirt 3.5 repo [1] and use older VDSM. 3.6 engine supports older VDSM, but you are limited to 3.5 cluster level compatibility (you cannot use any new 3.6 features) Generally I'd highly recommend you to use EL7 for both engine and hosts as it will make your life much easier when you upgrade to oVirt 4.0. [1] http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-3.5/rpm/el6/noarch/ovirt-release35-006-1.noarch.rpm Closing this as NOTABUG, because most probably you are trying to install 3.6 VDSM on EL6, which is no longer supported host OS version. Feel free to reopen if it's not the case. Although you may want to update the Quick Start guide as it only has host instructions for oVirt Node, Fedora 19, or CentOS 6.5 https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/quickstart/quickstart-guide/ (In reply to George Chlipala from comment #3) > Although you may want to update the Quick Start guide as it only has host > instructions for oVirt Node, Fedora 19, or CentOS 6.5 > > https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/quickstart/quickstart-guide/ Yes, unfortunately our upstream doc is often out-of-date :-( I suggest looking at release notes for each version which should provide crucial information. Anyway feel free to submit a patch to fix upstream doc. Thanks |
Created attachment 1168859 [details] Host deploy logfile Description of problem: Cannot install host from ovirt-engine web interface. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.6.6.2-1.el6 How reproducible: 100% - Have tried with two different systems and receive same error(s). Steps to Reproduce: 1. From "Hosts" tab within a cluster, click "New" 2. Set host information, i.e. IP address and root password 3. Click "OK" Have verified that I can SSH into the host(s) as root from the ovirt-engine system. Actual results: Installation fails. Expected results: Installation of host succeeds. Additional info: I have install the ovirt repo package [root@cridev-kvm01 ~]# rpm -qa | grep ovirt ovirt-release36-3.6.6-1.noarch libgovirt-0.3.2-2.el6.x86_64 Looked through the details of the logs and it seems that the install is failing to install the dnf and vdsm package, which are not available.
