--Sig_/E1GyG1in477eU2OrnXl3Zoz Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable So after some debugging with Simone on irc, we've determined that the issue is the agent timing out trying to communicate with the broker. The problem is that we have no idea why. Thread-942::INFO::2016-07-21 09:19:51,934::listener::134::ovirt_hosted_engine_ha.broker.listener.Connect= ionHandler::(setup) Connection established Thread-942::INFO::2016-07-21 09:19:51,936::listener::186::ovirt_hosted_engine_ha.broker.listener.Connect= ionHandler::(handle) Connection closed Thread-943::INFO::2016-07-21 09:19:53,099::listener::134::ovirt_hosted_engine_ha.broker.listener.Connect= ionHandler::(setup) Connection established Thread-943::INFO::2016-07-21 09:19:53,554::listener::186::ovirt_hosted_engine_ha.broker.listener.Connect= ionHandler::(handle) Connection closed Thread-135::DEBUG::2016-07-21 09:47:34,941::util::69::ovirt_hosted_engine_ha.broker.listener.ConnectionHa= ndler::(socket_readline) socket_readline in blocking mode Thread-135::DEBUG::2016-07-21 09:47:34,941::util::99::ovirt_hosted_engine_ha.broker.listener.ConnectionHa= ndler::(socket_readline) Connection closed while reading from socket So I tried to reinstall instead: - host -> maintenance - host removed from cluster - yum remove ovirt\* - yum install ovirt-hosted-engine-setup - hosted-engine --deploy - chose new node id - reused same name/hostname Once the host activated, it went right back to the same state. I'm open to any suggestions to get me back on track. The engine is at 3.6.7, but functioning hosts are still at 3.5.x. Should I try to upgrade the engine and a host to 4.0.x? I had planned on having a stable 3.6 system for a few days before trying to jump to 4.0. Or is there some way to go back to 3.5?
