vagrant-ovirt-self-hosted-engine

This Vagrantfile and Ansible Playbook provides a way to easily setup an all-in-one lab environment for oVirt.

Requirements

• KVM+QEMU with nested virtualization enabled
• vagrant-libvirt

Usage

Create the virtual machine.

$ vagrant up

After the Playbook is completed setting up the environment, log into the virtual machine to finish the installation.

$ vagrant ssh
$ sudo hosted-engine --deploy

Use the default values for almost everything. Set a lower maximum RAM allocation, static IP addressing, and specify the NFS export mount via the Vagrant virtual machine's IP address. For more information on settings and how to get started, refer to the Root Pages' Virtualization guide for oVirt.

oVirt 4.2:

          Please specify the memory size of the VM in MB (Defaults to maximum available): []: <LOWER_AMOUNT_OF_RAM_THAN_MAX>

          How should the engine VM network be configured (DHCP, Static)[DHCP]? Static
          Please enter the IP address to be used for the engine VM [192.168.121.2]: 192.168.121.201
[ INFO  ] The engine VM will be configured to use 192.168.121.201/24
          Please provide a comma-separated list (max 3) of IP addresses of domain name servers for the engine VM
          Engine VM DNS (leave it empty to skip) [127.0.0.1]: <VAGRANT_VM_IP>
          Add lines for the appliance itself and for this host to /etc/hosts on the engine VM?
          Note: ensuring that this host could resolve the engine VM hostname is still up to you
          (Yes, No)[No] Yes

          Please provide the FQDN for the engine you would like to use.
          This needs to match the FQDN that you will use for the engine installation within the VM.
          Note: This will be the FQDN of the VM you are now going to create,
          it should not point to the base host or to any other existing machine.
          Engine FQDN:  []: engine.example.com

          Please specify the storage you would like to use (glusterfs, iscsi, fc, nfs)[nfs]: nfs
          Please specify the nfs version you would like to use (auto, v3, v4, v4_1)[auto]: auto
          Please specify the full shared storage connection path to use (example: host:/path): <VAGRANT_VM_IP>:/exports/data

Variables

• ovirt_version_major = The major version of oVirt. This should be left at 4.
• ovirt_version_minor = The minor version of oVirt to install.
• enable_branch_development = Install the latest development/snapshot packages corresponding to the version defined above.
• enable_branch_master = Install the latest packages for the next upcoming minor version of oVirt. This will ignore the previous ovirt_version_* settings.
• nfs_export_dir = The directory to create a network share for and to mount an additional volume to.
• hostname_vagrant = The hostname for the Vagrant virtual machine.
• hostname_ovirt_engine = The hostname to use for the oVirt Engine that will be nested virtualized inside the Vagrant virtual machine. This fully qualified domain name (FQDN) should not already be in use by any other nodes.
• storage_file_system = The file system to use for the volume that will be created and mounted to the nfs_export_dir.
