Hello all,

We recently had a network event where we lost access to our storage for a period of time. The Cluster basically shut down all our VM's and in the process we had three HV's that went offline and would not communicate properly with the cluster.

We have since completely reinstalled CentOS on the hosts and attempted to install them into the cluster with no joy. We've gotten to the point where we generally get an error message in the web gui:

Stage: Misc Configuration
Host hv-ausa-02 installation failed. Command returned failure code 1 during SSH session 'root@10.1.90.154'.

the following is what we are seeing in the messages log:

Can someone point me in the right direction to resolve this - it seems to be a SASL issue perhaps?
