So here my assumptions: * oVirt is a web application based on JBoss application server. * VDSM is an agent to run on every hypervisor (or also VM?) * nothing else needed? (despite jboss, java-jdk-1.6, python-2.7, maven-2.2) I tried following the install-from-source guides for oVirt and failed at a compilation error. # cd $OVIRT_ENGINE_SRCDIR # make [.....] [INFO] Compiling 186 source files to /opt/ovirt/src/ovirt-engine/backend/manager/modules/dal/target/classes [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD FAILURE [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Compilation failure /opt/ovirt/src/ovirt-engine/backend/manager/modules/dal/src/main/java/org/ovirt/engine/core/dal/dbbroker/PGHack.java:[9,7] error: PGHack is not abstract and does not override abstract method getParentLogger() in CommonDataSource [...] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=772453 Y. There are no remote branches nor tags that looked like "stable" that I could test on, too. So finally (the not favoured version), I tried putting a Fedora 16 netinstall into a KVM on my hypervisor-test-node and installed everything in there, again, following some guide from the upstream site. Since it did not compile anything, the install worked well, but I could not add my hypervisor node as a host, in fact, it complained about some tools not being able to be installed. What tools? VDSM? how am I supposed to "cleanly" install it if not as promoted on the install guide? :( In the end, I am having nothing working, feeling a little bit sad about the possibly wasted time, so I hope you guys can give me a hint on how to deal with VDSM (if that's what I am missing here) and how to deal with the compile error when installing from source.Hi Christian, I am not primarily an ovirt guy, so I hope I am not steering you wrong here, but since I was the one who made the suggestion that you try ovirt, I'll take a swag at it. oVirt requires that KVM be operational on the node, so you may be running up against that requirement if you aren't running nested virt. I have gotten a VM to work as a node, but I did have to make it nested, and my experience with nested KVM is that it still has some rough edges. I have cc'd the ovirt users list as I do not have the experience to help you debug the build failure.
