Description Jon Benedict 2016-11-10 17:03:50 UTC 
Description of problem:
When deploying RHV in self-hosted engine config, the documented requirements for storage are at least 60GiB for /var in order for the the RHV-M appliance. Regardless of how much disk space is allotted to a host, Anaconda gives that space to "/" and effectively starves "/var". Either RHVH needs a different layout to account for this automatically OR there needs to be a checkbox in RHVH Anaconda for hosted engine deployments

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ISO image for RHVH - RHVH-4.0-20161018.0-RHVH-x86_64-dvd1.iso

How reproducible:
consistently every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. deploy RHVH from ISO (DVD, USB, etc)
2. accept default layout
3. allow RHVH to finish
4. launch hosted engine configuration
5. hosted engine deployment fails because RHV-M appliance doesn't have the space it needs to expand

Actual results:
hosted engine fails because the disk layout is incorrect/incompatible with documented requirements

Expected results:
RHVH deployment is deployed per documented requirements such that customers are not frustrated

Additional info:
Comment 1 Fabian Deutsch 2016-12-06 09:30:28 UTC 
/var has a default size of 15GB.
With the fix of bug 347340, the space requirements in the HE case should be much lower and the 15GB should be sufficient.

Ying, could QE verify that the default partitioning of the most recent RHVH is correct to be used for HE?
Comment 3 Yihui Zhao 2016-12-06 11:18:21 UTC 
I tested HostedEngine deploy via cockpit successfully.And /var has a default size of 15GB.

Version: redhat-virtualization-host-4.0-20161130.0.x86_64.

Thanks,
Yihui
