Re: [ovirt-users] Single server hosted engine... almost there

Hi, You need to make sure resolv.conf is correct (both on the host AND on the engine vm). So: dig hostname (without the @local-ip) As for the VM not coming up... I'm not sure how to delay "engine-setup" run. I presume you're running an engine appliance -- I ran my own CentOS install on the engine. The logs imply it's suggesting you can access the engine VM console, but maybe it's exiting quickly? -derek On Wed, December 7, 2016 3:52 pm, Mark Steckel wrote: > I tested dnsmasq from the host by > > dig hostname @local-ip > > Worked fine. > > The engine VM never comes up to the point where I can access it via the > console... > > > ----- Derek Atkins <derek(a)ihtfp.com&gt; wrote: >> Hi, >> >> Ensure dnsmasq is working and can be accessed by the engine VM? >> Log in to the engine VM and test from there? >> Maybe set up *real* DNS? >> >> -derek >> >> On Wed, December 7, 2016 3:41 pm, Mark Steckel wrote: >> > Hi Derek, >> > >> > ----- Derek Atkins <derek(a)ihtfp.com&gt; wrote: >> >> Hi Mark, >> >> >> >> The error is correct, hosted-engine-1.pcstrac.com is not a valid >> >> hostname: >> >> >> >> $ host hosted-engine-1.pcstrac.com >> >> $ >> >> >> >> I'm lost, tho -- was this an error that occurred on the host during >> >> hosted-engine --deploy, or was it an error that occurred in the >> hosted >> >> enging VM when running engine-setup? >> > >> > I believe when it occurred when the running the engine-setup. >> > >> > >> >> If the former, you need to ensure that you have a real DNS name for >> your >> >> ovirt engine.
