[ovirt-users] Re: Enable a cluster node to run the hosted engine

I'm not sure if this log files tells anything about the problem why the node "ipc3.dc" isn't capable to run the hosted engine. Today we tried the whole procedure again. But this time we didn't install the new node via single node cluster setup. It was a manual setup of the cluster storage. When we've added the host ("New Host") we made sure that "Hosted engine deployment action" was set to "deploy". Nevertheless we're still not able to allow the new node to run the hosted engine. The grey crown is missing.

What is the criteria for a host to be able to run the hosted engine? Is some special service required? Do we have to install another package? Or is there an Ansible script that does the required setup?

Sorry, I have no experience with gluster, so can't comment on your particular steps, although they sound reasonable. the main missing thing is enabling hosted-engine when adding the host to the engine. > > At this point I'm not sure if I just overlooked the "hosted engine deployment action" when I've added the new host. Unfortunately I cannot try to edit the host anymore since my colleague did another reinstall of the node. Very well. If this happens again, please tell us.

Reason is that the /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf doesn't exist. I guess this is not only a problem concerning the hosted engine, but also for HA VM's. > > When you add a host to the engine, one of the options in the dialog is to deploy it as a hosted-engine. > If you don't, you won't get this crown, nor these services, nor its status in 'hosted-engine --vm-status'. > > If you didn't, perhaps try to move to maintenance and reinstall, adding this option. > > If you did choose it, that's perhaps a bug - please check/share relevant logs (e.g. in /var/log/ovirt-engine, including host-deploy/). > > Best regards, > > > > > Thank you for any advice and greetings, Marcus > > _______________________________________________ > > Users mailing list -- users(a)ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email > > to users-leave(a)ovirt.org Privacy > > Statement: > > https://protection.retarus.com/v1?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ovirt.org%2Fpr > > iv > > acy-policy.html&c=3ilYjgr&r=338RVlOwLz6SWhhP16s8RO&k=7s1&s=i9ZtAxZ4H > > jh a7cyQljzYgZoSsOuJ5qnJkh0cU75rfgL oVirt Code of Conduct: > > https://protection.retarus.com/v1?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ovirt.org%2Fco > > mm > > unity%2Fabout%2Fcommunity-guidelines%2F&c=3ilYjgr&r=5VIqhyv90pUj07OG > > Zz 9qix&k=7s1&s=UiOTbmf9BSOB46ff91IjO7G8dkMWHzi2GOIcveqAySn > > List Archives: > > > > -- > Didi > -- Didi
