Description of problem: While attempting to use Cinderlib, I was unable to install ceph-common on the host. The host is running an installation of oVirt Node. I was able to enable the feature, install the required packages on the Hosted Engine VM, and successfully create the connection to Ceph, but I was unable to start any VMs with an MBS disk due to the missing ceph-common package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.4.5.1 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a machine from the oVirt Node ISO 2. Add the CentOS-OpenStack-ussuri repo 3. Install os-brick and then attempt to install ceph-common Actual results: os-brick will install but ceph-common has a dependency on librbd1 that conflicts with a dependency of one of the oVirt packages. The version of librbd1 that is installed as part of the oVirt Node is version 1:12.2.7-9.el8, which is for Ceph Luminous which hit EOL 2020-03-01. Expected results: os-brick and ceph-common install successfully. Additional info: It would be nice if os-brick and ceph-common were automatically installed as part of the oVirt Node so the node is compatible with the feature when it is enabled, but I don't have high hopes for that since it is still a tech preview feature.

we only support ceph/cinderlib based on Openstack 16/Train. Can you please confirm that one works ok? adding the packages is a good idea. Eyal, can you please track that, we should try to eliminate additional installs, it's pretty stable now
OpenStack Train doesn't appear to include a specific version of Ceph. Even if it did, the version of librbd1 would still conflict. The OpenStack repo depends on CentOS's Storage Common repo. CentOS's Storage Common repo only includes Ceph for CentOS 8 going back to Nautilus (14.2) but the oVirt Node requires 12.2. I've looked on both Ceph's repos and CentOS's repos and I don't see a packaged version of Ceph 12.2 for CentOS 8. The only way I see to get this to work would be to compile Ceph 12.2 from source.
We should add the following packages - Engine: 1. python3-cinderlib 2. ceph-common Host deploy: 1. ceph-common 2. python3-os-brick The engine should support using Managed block domain by default which means we need to add the Cinderlib DB on engine setup by default as well. A separate bug will track enabling Managed Block Storage on the engine DB - bug 1957253
Verified. Verified that the following packages are installed by installing them and expecting to see that it is already installed. Engine: 1. python3-cinderlib 2. ceph-common Host deploy: 1. ceph-common 2. python3-os-brick Worked as expected.
