Hello,
I'm trying to deploy a hosted engine on one of my test setups.
No matter how I tried to deploy the hosted engine, either via command line
or via "Hosted Engine" deployment from the cockpit web console, I always
fails with the same error message. [1]
Manually trying to download RPMs via dnf from the host, work just fine.
Firewall log files are clean.
Any idea what's going on?

H,

Please let me know if you need additional log files.
(/var/log/messages seems rather empty)
Ok, it's failing in the task "Install oVirt Engine package", which
tries to install/upgrade the package 'ovirt-engine' on the engine VM.
Can you try to do this manually and see if it works?
At this stage, the engine VM is on libvirt's default network
(private), you can find the temporary address by searching the log for
local_vm_ip, which is 192.168.1.173, in your log.
Good luck and best regards,

You are correct.
$ dnf install -y ovirt-engine
Problem: package ovirt-engine-4.4.0.3-1.el8.noarch requires
apache-commons-jxpath, but none of the providers can be installed
- conflicting requests
- package apache-commons-jxpath-1.3-29.module_el8.0.0+30+832da3a1.noarch
is excluded
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or
'--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

You are correct.
$ dnf install -y ovirt-engine
Problem: package ovirt-engine-4.4.0.3-1.el8.noarch requires
apache-commons-jxpath, but none of the providers can be installed
- conflicting requests
- package apache-commons-jxpath-1.3-29.module_el8.0.0+30+832da3a1.noarch
is excluded
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or
'--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)
Is this on the engine machine? Or elsewhere?
Generally speaking, you need, for this, to first enable the module
'javapackages-tools'. But assuming that you are deploying the engine
VM from ovirt-engine-appliance, the image should already have this
done, so above error should not happen there. No idea why it does, if
indeed it's there and not e.g. on the host (where you should not need
to install the engine). Can you please clarify where you try this?

Managed to find the reason for the failure.
Wrong documentation order in one document [1], missing documentation
on another [2].

The the first document, the cockpit part (5.2) actually precedes the
oVirt engine module list (5.3).
The second document is missing the modules part.
Now I can manually install ovirt-engine on the host.
That said, still no go.
Both cockpit based deployment and command line based deployment (on
the first node) fails.
Log attached.

The the first document, the cockpit part (5.2) actually precedes the
oVirt engine module list (5.3).
Section 5.3 is not actually needed, the appliance already includes it.
The second document is missing the modules part.
(Seems to me to include it as well, but again, it's not needed)
Now I can manually install ovirt-engine on the host.
I think you got it wrong. Please see my previous posts in this thread.
In particular:
1. You do not need to install ovirt-engine on the host.
2. You should try to see why it failed, on the engine VM.
3. This engine vm should be left running by the failed deploy process,
and you can find its IP address by searching the setup logs for
'local_vm_ip'. So please find it, ssh to it from the host (using the
root password you supplied), then try 'dnf install ovirt-engine'. If
it fails, try to fix the problem. My guess: Some kind of
networking/mirror/proxy/whatever issue.
For an overview of the current hosted-engine deploy process, you can
have a look at "Hosted Engine 4.3 Deep Dive (Simone Tiraboschi)" in:
https://www.ovirt.org/community/get-involved/resources/slide-decks.html
It was written for 4.3, but most of it applies also for 4.4.
Also:
The engine package is already part of the appliance, so strictly
speaking, we should not try to install it. This is done so that if a
newer version is available (e.g. because you installed an older
appliance image rpm), you upgrade to the newer version.
We have a bug open for allowing to prevent this, not sure about its
current status - see also the discussion in the linked github issue:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1816619
That said, still no go.

Thanks. As you can see there, it's still failing for the same reason:

Hello,
My mistake. I think there is a miss-understanding on my end that
side-stepped the main issue.
Before I begin, I'd like to point out that I have a number of oVirt
4.3 deployments in production.
Some installed via cockpit, others manually via hosted-engine --deploy.
I'm attempting to cleanly test-install 4.4 on a CentOS 8.x machine
before I begin (slowly) upgrading my existing 4.3 setups to 4.4.
However, when trying to install 4.4 on the test CentOS 8.x (now 8.2
after yesterday release), either manually (via hosted-engine --deploy)
or by using cockpit, fails when trying to download packages (see
attached logs) during the hosted engine deployment phase.
The reason I mocked around with the java module (on the host) was in
an attempt to see if the _host_ machine somehow had the wrong module
configuration, triggering the hosted engine deployment process.
Just to be clear, it is the hosted engine VM (during the deployment
process) that fails to automatically download packages, _not_ the
host.
Sorry again for the misunderstanding.

Hello,
My mistake. I think there is a miss-understanding on my end that
side-stepped the main issue.

4.3 deployments in production.
OK.
Some installed via cockpit, others manually via hosted-engine
--deploy.
I'm attempting to cleanly test-install 4.4 on a CentOS 8.x machine

Makes sense.
However, when trying to install 4.4 on the test CentOS 8.x (now 8.2
after yesterday release), either manually (via hosted-engine --deploy)
or by using cockpit, fails when trying to download packages (see
attached logs) during the hosted engine deployment phase.
Right. Didn't check them - I guess it's the same, no?
The reason I mocked around with the java module (on the host) was in
an attempt to see if the _host_ machine somehow had the wrong module
configuration, triggering the hosted engine deployment process.
OK, and now I think we both agree this isn't the issue. Good.
Just to be clear, it is the hosted engine VM (during the deployment
process) that fails to automatically download packages, _not_ the
host.
Exactly. That's why I asked you (because the logs do not reveal that)
to manually login there and try to install (update) the package, and
see what happens, why it failes, etc. Can you please try that? Thanks.
Sorry again for the misunderstanding.
NP at all!

Most likely you are correct. That said, the console version is more verbose.

Sadly enough, the failure comes early in the hosted engine deployment
process, making the VM completely inaccessible.
While I see qemu-kvm briefly start, it usually dies before I have any
chance to access it.
Can I somehow prevent hosted-engine --deploy from destroying the
hosted engine VM, when the deployment fails, giving me access to it?

This is how it should behave normally, it does not kill the VM.
Perhaps check logs, try to find who/what killed it.
Anyway: Earlier today I pushed this patch:
https://gerrit.ovirt.org/109730
Didn't yet get to try verifying it. Would you like to try? You can get
an RPM from the CI build linked there, or download the patch and apply
it manually (in the "gitweb" link [1]).
Then, you can do:
hosted-engine --deploy --ansible-extra-vars=he_offline_deployment=true
If you try this, please share the results. Thanks!

Good news. I managed to connect to the VM and solve the problem.
For some odd reason our primary DNS server had upstream connection
issues and all the requests were silently handled by our secondary DNS
server.
Not sure I understand why, but while the ovirt host did manage to
silently spill over to the secondary DNS, the hosted engine, at least
during the initial deployment phase (when it still uses the host's
dnsmasq), failed to spill over to the secondary DNS server and the
deployment failed.
Once I fixed our primary DNS upstream connection issues, the installer
managed to download packages successfully (but failed once I
provisioned the storage, more on that in a different mail).
Many thanks, again, for taking the time to assist me!
(And hope it helps anyone facing the same issue in the future)

New subject: Hosted engine deployment doesn't add the host(s) to the /etc/hosts engine, even if hostname doesn't get resolved by DNS server
Hello,
Following the previous email, I think I'm hitting an odd problem, not
sure if it's my mistake or an actual bug.
1. Newly deployed 4.4 self-hosted engine on localhost NFS storage on a
single node.
2. Installation failed during the final phase with a non-descriptive
error message [1].
3. Log attached.
4. Even though the installation seemed to have failed, I managed to
connect to the ovirt console, and noticed it failed to connect to the
host.
5. SSH into the hosted engine, and noticed it cannot resolve the host hostname.
6. Added the missing /etc/hosts entry, restarted the ovirt-engine
service, and all is green.
7. Looking the deployment log, I'm seeing the following message:
"[WARNING] Failed to resolve gilboa-wx-ovirt.localdomain using DNS, it
can be resolved only locally", which means the ansible was aware the
my DNS server doesn't resolve the host hostname, but didn't add the
missing /etc/hosts entry / and or errored out.
A. Is it a bug, or is it PBKAC?
B. What are the chances that I have a working ovirt (test) setup?

New subject: Hosted engine deployment doesn't add the host(s) to the /etc/hosts engine, even if hostname doesn't get resolved by DNS server

Hello,
Following the previous email, I think I'm hitting an odd problem, not
sure if it's my mistake or an actual bug.
1. Newly deployed 4.4 self-hosted engine on localhost NFS storage on a
single node.
2. Installation failed during the final phase with a non-descriptive
error message [1].
I agree. Would you like to open a bug about this? It's not always easy
to know the root cause for the failure, nor to pass it through the
various components until it can reach the end-user.
3. Log attached.
4. Even though the installation seemed to have failed, I managed to
connect to the ovirt console, and noticed it failed to connect to the
host.
5. SSH into the hosted engine, and noticed it cannot resolve the host hostname.
6. Added the missing /etc/hosts entry, restarted the ovirt-engine
service, and all is green.
7. Looking the deployment log, I'm seeing the following message:
"[WARNING] Failed to resolve gilboa-wx-ovirt.localdomain using DNS, it
can be resolved only locally", which means the ansible was aware the
my DNS server doesn't resolve the host hostname, but didn't add the
missing /etc/hosts entry / and or errored out.
Not sure it must abort. In principle, you could have supplied custom
ansible code to be ran inside the appliance, to add the items yourself
to /etc/hosts, or in theory it can also happen that you configured stuff
so that the host fails DNS resolution but the engine VM does not.
A. Is it a bug, or is it PBKAC?
It also asked you:
2020-06-21 10:49:18,562-0400 DEBUG otopi.plugins.otopi.dialog.human
dialog.__logString:204 DIALOG:SEND Add lines for the

2020-06-21 10:49:18,563-0400 DEBUG otopi.plugins.otopi.dialog.human
dialog.__logString:204 DIALOG:SEND (Yes, No)[No]
And you accepted the default 'No'.
Perhaps we should change the default to Yes.
Of course - Yes is also a risk - a user not noticing it, then later on
changing the DNS, and not understanding why it "does not work"...
B. What are the chances that I have a working ovirt (test) setup?
In theory, you can examine the ansible code, and see what (not very
many) next steps it should have done if it didn't fail there, and do
that yourself (or decide that they are not important). In practice,
I'd personally deploy again cleanly, unless this is for a quick test
or something.

broken hosted engine VM and that cannot possibly resolve the host
address and will uncertainly fail miserably once we try and deploy the

I'll simply clean up and redeploy.
Hopefully after suffering a long string of PBKAC and DNS related
failures, I'll finally have a working setup :)
And again, many thanks for taking the time to assist me.
I appreciate it!

Perhaps first have a look at:

I agree this makes sense, although as I said, it's not fully certain to fail.
The code emitting this warning is general - it's used both here and in
engine-setup.
I agree that here (in hosted-engine) it's more important.

Thanks

It's not that important - someone will fix it later. In this case it's
"Integration".

Good news. I managed to connect to the VM and solve the problem.
Glad to hear that, thanks for the report!
For some odd reason our primary DNS server had upstream connection
issues and all the requests were silently handled by our secondary DNS
server.
Not sure I understand why, but while the ovirt host did manage to
silently spill over to the secondary DNS, the hosted engine, at least
during the initial deployment phase (when it still uses the host's
dnsmasq), failed to spill over to the secondary DNS server and the
deployment failed.
Sounds like a bug in dnsmasq, although I am not sure.
That said, DNS/DHCP are out of scope for oVirt. We simply assume they
are robust.
In retrospective, what do you think we should have done differently
to make it easier for you to find (and fix) the problem?

Sounds like a bug in dnsmasq, although I am not sure.
That said, DNS/DHCP are out of scope for oVirt. We simply assume they
are robust.
In retrospective, what do you think we should have done differently
to make it easier for you to find (and fix) the problem?

In retrospect, the main problem was the non-descriptive error message
generated by DNF (which has nothing to do with the ovirt installer).
That said, this could easily be circumvented by adding a simple
network-test script to the installer playbook.
Then again, the problem was clearly on my side...
