So you want to be a sysadmin? Official IRC Channel - #reddit-sysadmin on Official Discord -. To be clear, is this in terms of configuration, or stability? One is acceptable, the other.

I'd have to say both and on the second one, with a caveat. The caveat is their, in my opinion, documentation is absolute shit and as with a product as robust, feature filled, and high visibility (eg: hosting business critical machines) then docs should be apart of the software offering. 90% of what I find online is outlined more like a development spec. They dont explain or justify some of their decisions or make it very clear in the docs (like how the nodes cant be less than CentOS/RHEL 7 now although its noted its just a brief cursory note). Most of it reads like a developer made a quick passthrough to document the feature but not actually explain it or go in to detail on its configuration options or suggested config.

They dont give you the weight or understanding of the many different setups that you can do so you're left to just kind of figure it out. Further to that I've opted to setup the hosted-engine (where the engine control logic VM resides on the nodes) and there is no documentation to cover what you should do in a failure scenario (like if your network stack gets disrupted in anyway). From what I've gathered you just step back and let all of the HA stuff do its work automajically and when done (1-2 hours later) start to clean up the pieces yourself. Overall I'd say its very very stable but their documentation needs to be better.

They dont advise you to try to 'do' anything when the hosted engine starts having 'problems' (as defined as liveliness checks are failing and engine is unavailable due to packet loss to the VM for whatever reason) but without actually telling you to NOT do anything, the engineers in some of us will try to figure out whats going on. When your engine is hosted though, it because a bit of a pain in the ass to try to debug anything so all you really can do is let it rock. I love the offering but it seems very abstracted away and that its only open sourced so that the community can be the test dummies for RedHat to repackage it as RHEV - which makes sense from a product perspective.
