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

Hello again, to answer your question, how did I make a clean install and reintegrate the node in the cluster? Maybe my approach was a bit awkward/inconvenient, but this is what I did: - Install CentOS 8 - Install oVirt Repository and packages: cockpit-ovirt-dashboard, vdsm-gluster, ovirt-host - Remove the Gluster bricks of the old node from the data/engine/vmstore volumes - Process a single cluster node installation on the new node via the oVirt Dashboard, in order to setup Gluster and the bricks (hosted-engine setup was skipped) - On the new node: Delete the vmstore/engine/data volumes and the file metadata in the bricks folder - Added the bricks to the volumes of the existing cluster again - Added the host to the cluster Would you suggest a better approach to setup a new node for an existing cluster? 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. Thanks so far and greetings, Marcus -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Yedidyah Bar David <didi(a)redhat.com&gt; Gesendet: Montag, 14.

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, -- Didi
