Good afternoon. I am trying to get started with a proof of concept setup of Oracle Linux KVM and Virtualization Manager as a possible alternative to VMware vSphere. I have two Dell VRTX M640 servers with a minimal installation of Oracle Linux 8.10. Then I followed these instructions for Self-Hosted Engine Deployment: https://docs.oracle.com/en/virtualization/oracle-linux-virtualization-manager/getstart/getstarted-hosted-engine-deploy.html#hosted-engine-deploy
I have tried both from the CLI and from cockpit, both fail. Cockpit does not provide any useful error. This is what's in the log after CLI setup:
[ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Notify the user about a failure]
[ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "There was a failure deploying the engine on the local engine VM. The system may not be provisioned according to the playbook results: please check the logs for the issue, fix accordingly or re-deploy from scratch.\n"}
[ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Closing up': Failed executing ansible-playbook
[ ERROR ] Hosted Engine deployment failed: please check the logs for the issue, fix accordingly or re-deploy from scratch.
Log file is located at /var/log/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-20240723143807-j0bo7v.log
[ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Misc configuration': Command '/usr/bin/ovirt-aaa-jdbc-
tool' failed to execute
It seems to indicate a problem with database authentication, but I don't know what the meaning of this error is or what would be causing it. I said no to the keycloak question. Any help is much appreciated.
Also, an unrelated question. I saw from the above documentation that it supports iSCSI, fiber channel, NFS, and GlusterFS. On a production setup I would be using iSCSI or NFS, but this proof of concept setup has integrated shared storage on a Dell PERC8 controller that both blade servers can access as a local disk. In VMware ESXi I simply format it as VMFS on the first host and then mount it on the rest. How would I configure it to use that local device for shared storage? I can format it to whatever filesystem is needed.
Thanks
