Node Stateful

Running VMs on the ovirt-appliance host

The current procedure is:

  1. Install ovirt-appliance, ovirt-node and ovirt-node-selinux rpms
  2. ovirt-install-node stateful
  3. create-ovirt-appliance
  4. virsh start ovirt-appliance

When the appliance comes up, it will contact the host and will assign it a keytab. However, since libvirt doesn't pick up the keytab until it is restarted (and you can't restart libvirtd while the appliance is running) you need to:

  1. On appliance: shutdown -h now
  2. virsh destroy ovirt-appliance
  3. service libvirtd restart
  4. virsh start ovirt-appliance

Now when the appliance is up again, it can contact the physical host and create VMs on it since libvirt has the correct keytab loaded.
