ovirt-ansible-hosted-engine-setup

Ansible role for deploying oVirt Hosted-Engine

Requirements

Ansible version 2.6 or higher
Python SDK version 4.2 or higher
Python netaddr library on the ansible controller node

Dependencies

No.

Prerequisites

A fully qualified domain name prepared for your Engine and the host. Forward and reverse lookup records must both be set in the DNS.
/var/tmp has at least 5 GB of free space.
Unless you are using Gluster, you must have prepared storage for your Hosted-Engine environment (choose one):
- Prepare NFS Storage
- Prepare ISCSI Storage

Install additional oVirt ansible roles:

$ ansible-galaxy install oVirt.repositories # case-sensitive

$ ansible-galaxy install oVirt.engine-setup # case-sensitive

Role variables

he_data_center	Default	name of the datacenter with hosted-engine hosts

NFS / Gluster Variables

Name	Default value	Description
he_mount_options	''	NFS mount options
he_storage_domain_path	null	shared folder path on NFS server
he_nfs_version	auto	NFS version. available options: auto, v4, v3

ISCSI Variables

Name	Default value	Description

he_discard	false	Discard the whole disk space when removed. more info here

Static IP configuration Variables

DHCP configuration is used on the engine VM by default. However, if you would like to use static ip instead, define the following variables:

Name	Default value	Description
he_vm_ip_addr	null	engine VM ip address
he_vm_ip_prefix	null	engine VM ip prefix
he_dns_addr	null	engine VM DNS server
he_default_gateway	null	engine VM default gateway
he_vm_etc_hosts	false	Add engine VM ip and fqdn to /etc/hosts on the host

Example Playbook

This is a simple example for deploying Hosted-Engine with NFS storage domain.

This role can be used to deploy on localhost (the ansible controller one) or on a remote host (please correctly set he_ansible_host_name). All the playbooks can be found inside the examples/ folder.

Note:

Unlike standard roles that are called once in a playbook, we call this role 5 times. The reason for that is due to the fact that Ansible allows executing a role only for one host. Thus, because we need to execute tasks on both host and engine hosts we had to call the role more than one time.

# As an example this file is keep in plaintext, if you want to
# encrypt this file, please execute following command:
#
# $ ansible-vault encrypt passwords.yml
#
# It will ask you for a password, which you must then pass to
# ansible interactively when executing the playbook.
#
# $ ansible-playbook myplaybook.yml --ask-vault-pass
