Simply removing the storage domain was insufficient, the hosted-engine deploy failed when it found the HA and Broker services already configured. I decided to just start over fresh starting with re-installing the OS on my host. I can't deploy DNS at the moment, so I have to simply replicate /etc/hosts files on my host/engine. I did that this time, but have run into a new problem: [ INFO ] Engine replied: DB Up!Welcome to Health Status! Enter the name of the cluster to which you want to add the host (Default) [Default]: [ INFO ] Waiting for the host to become operational in the engine. This may take several minutes... [ ERROR ] The VDSM host was found in a failed state. Please check engine and bootstrap installation logs. [ ERROR ] Unable to add ovirt-vm to the manager Please shutdown the VM allowing the system to launch it as a monitored service. The system will wait until the VM is down. [ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Closing up': [Errno 111] Connection refused [ INFO ] Stage: Clean up [ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Clean up': [Errno 111] Connection refused I've attached my engine log and the ovirt-hosted-engine-setup log. I think I had an issue with resolving external hostnames, or else a connectivity issue during the install.

So I have to start over again. Do you have any better tips on how can I clean up in order to try this operation yet again? Thanks, Bob
