Hi Jenny,
What version are you running?
4.1.2.2-1.el7.centos
For the hosted engine vm to be imported and displayed in the engine,
you
must first create a master storage domain.
To provide a bit more detail: this was a migration of a bare-metal
engine in an existing cluster to a hosted engine VM for that cluster.
As part of this migration, I built an entirely new host and ran
'hosted-engine --deploy' (followed these instructions:
http://www.ovirt.org/documentation/self-hosted/chap-Migrating_from_Bare_M...).
I restored the backup from the engine and it completed without any
errors. I didn't see any instructions regarding a master storage
domain in the page above. The cluster has two existing master storage
domains, one is fibre channel, which is up, and one ISO domain, which
is currently offline.
What do you mean the hosted engine commands are failing? What happens
when
you run hosted-engine --vm-status now?
Interestingly, whereas when I ran it before, it exited with no output
and a return code of '1', it now reports:
--== Host 1 status ==--
conf_on_shared_storage : True
Status up-to-date : False
Hostname : kvm-ldn-03.ldn.fscfc.co.uk
Host ID : 1
Engine status : unknown stale-data
Score : 0
stopped : True
Local maintenance : False
crc32 : 0217f07b
local_conf_timestamp : 2911
Host timestamp : 2897
Extra metadata (valid at timestamp):
metadata_parse_version=1
metadata_feature_version=1
timestamp=2897 (Thu Jun 15 16:22:54 2017)
host-id=1
score=0
vm_conf_refresh_time=2911 (Thu Jun 15 16:23:08 2017)
conf_on_shared_storage=True
maintenance=False
state=AgentStopped
stopped=True
Yet I can login to the web GUI fine. I guess it is not HA due to being
in an unknown state currently? Does the hosted-engine-ha rpm need to
be installed across all nodes in the cluster, btw?
Thanks for the help,
Cam
