  • RHEL 6.3 RHEV-M installation failure...

    Posted on

    I had a RHEL 6.3 server (DL380G5) with kernel 2.6.32-279.14.1.el6.x86_64 installed.  I am registered to the Red Hat repos and I added the rhev repo and installed rhev by doing 'yum install rhevm'.   Installation completed with no errors but when I try to configure it, I get errors:

    In order to proceed the installer must stop the ovirt-engine service
    Would you like to stop the ovirt-engine service? (yes|no):
    Would you like to stop the ovirt-engine service? (yes|no): yes
    Stopping ovirt-engine service... RHEV Manager uses httpd to proxy requests to the application server.
    It looks like the httpd installed locally is being actively used.
    The installer can override current configuration .
    Alternatively you can use JBoss directly (on ports higher than 1024)
    Do you wish to override current httpd configuration and restart the service? ['yes'| 'no']  [yes] : no
    HTTP Port  [8700] :
    HTTPS Port  [8701] :
    Host fully qualified domain name. Note: this name should be fully resolvable  [xxxx.xxxx.xxx.xxxx] :
    Enter a password for an internal RHEV Manager administrator user (admin@internal) :
    Confirm password :
    Organization Name for the Certificate  [xxx.xxx.xxx] :
    The default storage type you will be using  ['NFS'| 'FC'| 'ISCSI'| 'POSIXFS']  [NFS] :
    Enter DB type for installation ['remote'| 'local']  [local] :
    Enter a password for a local RHEV Manager DB admin user (engine) :
    Confirm password :
    Configure NFS share on this server to be used as an ISO Domain? ['yes'| 'no']  [yes] : no
    Firewall ports need to be opened.
    The installer can configure iptables automatically overriding the current configuration. The old configuration will be backed up.
    Alternately you can configure the firewall later using an example iptables file found under /etc/ovirt-engine/iptables.example
    Configure iptables ? ['yes'| 'no']: yes

    RHEV Manager will be installed using the following configuration:
    =================================================================
    override-httpd-config:         no
    http-port:                     8700

    rhevm-cleanup returns errors as well:

    The log shows the same set of errors on both setup and cleanup:
