Problem:
I am running Foreman 2.3.1 and oVirt 4.3.10.
When running hammer to create a VM on oVirt using an oVirt image, hammer creates the VM on the same volume as the oVirt image. In the Foreman UI I can change the VM volume before submitting the create VM request but I cannot do so using hammer. Using hammer all oVirt VMs are created on the same volume as the oVirt image. I do not have this issue on VMs created by hammer on VMware. In VMware I can add the volume to use in the “Compute Profile”. I cannot find a “Compute Profile” that works in oVirt to change the volume.
The following hammer command creates the VM on the volume where the oVirt image is stored. In this case the “Compute Profile” does not have a volume set. Foreman uses the volume from the oVirt image.
hammer host create --name “test” --compute-attributes “cores=1, socket=1, memory=4294967296, cluster=CLUSTER1, start=1” --hostgroup “CentOS_7_oVirt” --image “centos7-image” --interface “compute_network=CLUSTER1, managed=1, primary=1, provision=1, type=interface” --ip “192.168.1.1” --location “Default Location” --operatingsystem “CentOS_7_oVirt” --organization “Default Organization” --provision-method “image”
I tried adding a volume to the “Compute Profile” as bootable. I thought the OS would be installed on this volume but hammer failed with the following error.
Could not create the host:
Failed to create a compute CLUSER1_Compute_Resource (oVirt) instance testvm: Fault reason is “Operation Failed”. Fault detail is “[Cannot add Virtual Disk. Disk Disk1 in VM testvm is already marked as boot.]”. HTTP response code is 409.
In the following URL the interesting part to me was the user was able to specify the “bootable=true” on one of the volumes. I tried that too using hammer and got the same already marked as boot error. The user is running an older version of Foreman and oVirt.
Hammer CLI, oVirt and templates
I have not been able to find a solution. Are there any suggestions? Thanks.
