Error: Adding new Host to ovirt-engine

Hi,
Can't add new host to ovirt engine, because the following error:

> By the way, if anyone else would like to work on NVMe/TCP support, for NVMe/TCP target you can either use Lightbits (talk to me offline for details) or use the upstream Linux NVMe/TCP target. Lightbits is a clustered storage system while upstream is a single target, but the client side should be close enough for vdsm/ovirt purposes.
I played with NVMe/TCP a little bit, using qemu to create a virtual
NVMe disk, and export
it using the kernel on one VM, and consume it on another VM.
https://futurewei-cloud.github.io/ARM-Datacenter/qemu/nvme-of-tcp-vms/
One question about device naming - do we always get the same name of the
device in all hosts?
To support VM migration, every device must have unique name in the cluster.
With multipath we always have unique name, since we disable "friendly names",
so we always have:
/dev/mapper/{wwid}
With rbd we also do not use /dev/rbdN but a unique path:
/dev/rbd/poolname/volume-vol-id
How do we ensure cluster-unique device path? If os_brick does not handle it, we
can to do in ovirt, for example:
/run/vdsm/mangedvolumes/{uuid} -> /dev/nvme7n42
but I think this should be handled in cinderlib, since openstack have
the same problem
with migration.

[Call to Action] oVirt 4.5 localization updated in zanata
by Sandro Bonazzola
Hi, https://zanata.ovirt.org/ has been updated with new text to be translated.
If you want to help with this, please follow
https://ovirt.org/develop/localization.html
The ovirt-web-ui and ovirt-engine-ui-extensions projects lack Italian,
Czech and Turkish translation.
The oVirt engine project needs some touch on all the translations but
especially on Italian, Czech, Russian and Turkish

hosted engine deployment (v4.4.10) - TASK Check engine VM health - fatal FAILED
by Charles Stellen
Dear Ovirt Hackers,
(CZ: pokud to pomuze - muzeme i cesky)
we are dealing with hosted engine deployment issue on a fresh AMD EPYC servers:
and we are ready to donate hardware to Ovirt community after we pass this issue ( :-) )
0/ base infra:
- 3 identical physical servers (produced in 2021-4Q)
- fresh, clean and recent version of centos 8 stream installed (@^minimal-environment)
- servers are interconnected with cisco switch, each other are network visible,
all with nice internet access (NAT)
1/ storage:
- all 3 servers/nodes host nice and clean glusterfs (v9.5) and volume "vol-images01" is ready for VM images
- ovirt hosted engine deployment procedure:
- easily accept mentioned glusterfs storage domain
- mount it during "hosted-engine --deploy" with no issue
- all permissions are set correctly at all glustrfs nodes ("chown vdsm.kvm vol-images01")
- no issue with storage domain at all
2/ ovirt - hosted engine deployment:
- all 3 servers successfully deployed recent ovirt version with standart procedure
(on top of minimal install of centos 8 stream):
dnf -y install ovirt-host
virt-host-validate: PASS ALL
- at first server we continue with:
dnf -y install ovirt-engine-appliance
hosted-engine --deploy (pure commandline - so no cockpit is used)
DEPLOYMENT ISSUE:
- during "hosted-engine --deploy" procedure - hosted engine becomes temporairly accessible at:https://server01:6900/ovirt-engine/
- with request to manualy set "ovirtmgmt" virtual nic
- Hosts > server01 > Network Interfaces > [SETUP HOST NETWORKS]
"ovirtmgmt" dropped to eno1 - [OK]
- than All pass fine - and host "server01" becomes Active
- back to commandline to Continue with deployment "Pause execution until /tmp/ansible.jksf4_n2_he_setup_lock is removed"
by removing the lock file
- deployment than pass all steps_until_ "[ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Check engine VM health]"
ISSUE DETAILS: new VM becomes not accessible in the final stage - as it should be reachable at its final IP:
[ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Fail if Engine IP is different from engine's he_fqdn resolved IP]
[ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Engine VM IP address is while the engine's he_fqdn ovirt-engine.mgmt.pss.local resolves to 10.210.1.101. If you are using DHCP, check your DHCP reservation configuration"}
- problem is, that even if we go with "Static" IP (provided during answering procedure) or with "DHCP" way (with properly set DHCP and DNS server responding with correct IP for both
WE STUCK THERE
WE TRYIED:
- no success to connect to terminal/vnc of running VM "HostedEngine" to figure out the internal network issue
any suggestion howto "connect" into newly deployed UP and RUNNING HostedEngine VM? to figure out eventually manualy fix the internal network issue?
Thank You all for your help
Charles Stellen
PS: we are advanced in Ovirt deployment (from version 4.0), also we are advanced in GNU/Linux KVM based virtualisation for 10+ years,
so any suggests or any details requested - WE ARE READY to provide
online debuging or direct access to servers is not a problem
PPS: after we pass this deployment - and after decomissioning procedure - we are ready to provide older HW to Ovirt community
