I'm running into the exact same issue as described in this thread. The
HostedEngine VM (HE) loses connectivity during the deployment while on the
NAT'd network and the deployment fails. My HE VM is never migrated to
shared storage because that part of the process hasn't been reached, nor
have I been asked for the shared storage details, which are simple NFS
shares. I've tried the deployment from the CLI and through Cockpit, both
times using the Ansible deployment, and both times reaching the same
conclusion.
I did manage to connect to the Centos 7 host that is running the HE guest
with virt-manager and moved the NIC to the 'ovirtmgmt' vswitch using
macvtap, which allowed me to access HE from the outside world. One of the
big issues though is that the HE isn't on shared storage and I'm not sure
how to move it there. I'm running 2 Centos 7 hosts with different CPU
makes, AMD and Intel. So i have two separate single-host clusters but I'm
trying to at least have the HA setup for the HE, which I think is still
possible. I know that I won't be able to do a live migration, but that's
not a big deal. I'm afraid my failed deployment of HE is preventing this
and I'm at an impasse. I don't want to give up on oVirt but it's becoming
difficult to get my lab environment operational and I'm wasting a lot of
time troubleshooting.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
