P.S. When creating a host, "Choose hosted engine deployment action" was set to "deploy".

Hello all,

Found the problem (at least I think so), but not the solution.
As I have an existing Gluster setup (quite complex one) this was the first time I didn't use the "Hyperconverged gluster wizard" (via cockpit), but used the "hosted-engine --deploy" cli instead (which I usually use to deploy single host setups).
The idea being: Deploy the first hosts (via cli) and then add the two additional hosts via compute->host->create.
For some odd reason I seem to remember this method was an approved way of deploying an hyperconverged gluster setup, in cases you don't want to let a wizard create the gluster bricks. Am I wrong?

A. In case I'm wrong: How can I deploy a 3 host hyperconverged setup, _while_ using the preexisting gluster bricks (data/export/iso)?

B. I did a clean redeploy (via cockpit -> hosted engine -> hosted engine deploy) and the cluster version is still 4.4 (and given the fact it only deploys a single host, there's no way to upgrade it to 4.5, as I cannot put the host into maintenance and I cannot add additional hosts).

Thanks for the prompt reply.
I assume I can safely ignore the "Upgrade cluster compatibility" warning until libvirt 6.6 gets pushed to CentOS 8.3?


We are working on releasing AV 8.3, hopefully it will be available soon, but until that happen you have no way how to upgrade to CL 4.5 and you just need to stay in 4.4


Understood.

Thanks again.

Just updating that oVirt 4.4.4 released yesterday comes with Advanced Virtualization 8.3 so you can now enable CL 4.5.


Sadly enough, even post-full-upgrade (engine + hosts) something seems to be broken.

In the WebUI, I see all 3 hosts marked as "up".
But when I run hosted-engine --vm-status (or migrate the hosted engine), only the first (original deployed) host is available.
I tried "reinstalling" (from the WebUI) the two hosts, no errors, no change.
I tried upgrading the cluster again, host 2 / 3 (the "missing" hosts) upgrade is successful; hosts1 fails (cannot migrate the hosted engine).

Any idea what's broken?

I'll remove the problematic hosts, re-add them, and reconfigure the network(s). Let's see if it works.

Sorry for the noise. No go.
Cleaned up the hosts via ovirt-hosted-engine-cleanup + reboot, tried "adding" them again, to no avail.
Host marked as "up" in WebUI, network correctly configured, however, hosted-engine.conf isn't being created (see log below), ovirt-ha-broker/agent services cannot start and vm-status only shows one host.
