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.

Then create an instackenv.json.  In the example below pm_addr is the IP of my local RHV manager.

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
