Getting Started
The staging-ovirt driver allows OpenStack to easily use ovirt/RHV virtual machines as overcloud nodes. For those of us running virtualized OpenStack labs, it’s a huge step forward – as we either were previously having to hack our way around pxe_ssh or vmbc. Neither was a great solution.
In order to use the staging-ovirt driver , I first I needed to configure the undercloud to use the staging-ovirt driver. See undercloud.conf below.
| [DEFAULT] | |
| local_ip = 10.1.98.2/24 | |
| undercloud_public_vip = 10.1.98.3 | |
| undercloud_admin_vip = 10.1.98.4 | |
| local_interface = eth1 | |
| masquerade_network = 10.1.98.0/24 | |
| dhcp_start = 10.1.98.100 | |
| dhcp_end = 10.1.98.120 | |
| network_cidr = 10.1.98.0/24 | |
| network_gateway = 10.1.98.2 | |
| inspection_iprange = 10.1.98.130,10.1.98.150 | |
| inspection_runbench = false | |
| undercloud_debug = false | |
| store_events = false | |
| enabled_hardware_types = staging-ovirt | |
| inspection_enable_uefi = false |
Then create an instackenv.json. In the example below pm_addr is the IP of my local RHV manager.
| "arch": "x86_64", | |
| "cpu": "1", | |
| "disk": "10", | |
| "mac": [ | |
| "00:1a:4a:16:01:5a" | |
| ], | |
| "memory": "1024", | |
| "name": "ospd13-ctrl01", | |
| "pm_addr": "10.1.99.10", | |
| "pm_password": "redhat", | |
| "pm_type": "staging-ovirt", | |
| "pm_user": "admin@internal", | |
| "pm_vm_name": "ospd13-ctrl01", | |
| "capabilities": "profile:control,boot_option:local" |
You should then be able to import your nodes.

Troubleshooting
Note that I ran into an error importing my nodes. Error shown below.

Help was found here.
Apparently I was missing a package. I needed to yum install the package shown below and restart ironic-conductor
[simterm]
# sudo yum -y install python-ovirt-engine-sdk4.x86_64
# sudo systemctl restart openstack-ironic-conductor.service
