8:31 p.m.
Hey people, I hope someone can help me identify if there's something I'm doing
wrong or if there's a bug.
Originally I wanted to re-deploy my self-hosted engine, as it is still on version 4.5.5
with CentOS 8, and therefore can't be updated anymore.
To get a fresh backup of the currently running config I did the following:
1. On physical host `hosted-engine --set-maintenance --mode=global`
2. On engine VM `systemctl stop ovirt-engine` and then
3. `engine-backup --scope=all --mode=backup
--file=/mnt/ovirt-engine-backup/ovirt-engine-4.5.5-backup.bck
--log=/mnt/ovirt-engine-backup/ovirt-engine-4.5.5-backup.log` (where
`/mnt/ovirt-engine-backup/` is a NFS share)
4. On physical host `hosted-engine --vm-shutdown`
Then I set up a new physical host with CentOS 9 Stream (Build 20250320), enabled and
installed the oVirt repository as mentioned at
https://www.ovirt.org/download/install_on_rhel.html, then ran:
`hosted-engine --deploy --4
--restore-from-file=/mnt/ovirt-engine-backup/ovirt-engine-4.5.5-backup.bck` (of course
mounting the NFS share prior to this).
But after giving it all the information it needed it fails after 15-20 minutes with
several errors in the logfile, which I cannot identify the primary/root cause of.
The first error that appears is this one:

The full log is available here: https://filebin.net/dimi5g2o6q20t4aj
I also tried with a completely clean deployment, without restoring from backup (once
without and once with using `ovirt-hosted-engine-cleanup` in between). The errors in the
log are completely the same.
Also I tried to use the oVirt Node master experimental ISO
(`ovirt-node-ng-installer-4.5.6-2025031111.c9s.iso`), same issue.
Does the problem lie somewhere in my answers for the questions asked by the tool? I cannot
identify giving any wrong info.
Can someone maybe reproduce the issue?
