oVirt 4.2.x Install HE (Hosted Engine) (4 Hosts) (2 SAN-HA) – Setup Equipment & Wiring

This outlines the Setup of Equipment & Wiring of the oVirt 4.2.x Install HE (Hosted Engine) (4 Hosts) (2 SAN-HA)

This outline is specific to the hardware mentioned at the beginning of the example, but it should apply to most installs with some adjustment.

1. On your switch, label the following:
   1. outline a group of 5 ports for VLAN1
   2. outline a group of 5 posts for vLAN2
   3. remaining ports will be considered the LAN
2. On each of the 4 host servers, connect cat6 cables as:looking at back of server hardwarePORT2 | PORT4
   ——————–
   PORT1 | PORT3
   • PORT 1 to LAN on Switch
   • PORT 2 to LAN on Switch
   • PORT 3 to VLAN1 on Switch
   • PORT 4 to vLAN2 on Switch
   • MGMT PORT to LAN on Switch
3. On each of the 2 SAN devices, connect cat6 cables as
   • PORT 1 to LAN on Switch
   • PORT 2 to VLAN1 on Switch
   • PORT 3 to VLAN2 on Switch
   • PORT4 to other SAN device as heartbeat connection for HA

Configure Switch

Connect to your smart switch a configure the following:

1. Setup VLAN1 as using VLAN ID 2
2. Setup VLAN2 as using VLAN ID 3
3. Edit your ports and make sure Jumbo Frames are enabled on all of your VLAN1 and VLAN2 ports. (Some switches do this automatically)
4. Save your changes to flash if required (Some Switches)

Configure SAN (HA) High Availability

Login to your SAN device and configure the following. The following will be specific to Synology but should be similar in other installs:

1. Use Synology Assistant software to locate your brand new devices by Serial#
2. Navigate to http://x.x.x.x to do the install on the FIRST Synology
