eMail client with this forum is a bit <special>.. I was told this web interface I
could post images... as embedded ones in email get scraped out... but not seeing how that
is done. Seems to be txt only.
1) ..."I would give the engine a 'Windows'-style fix (a.k.a.
reboot)...." how does one restart just the oVirt-engine?
2) I now show in shell 3 nodes, each with the one brick for data, vmstore, engine (and an
ISO one I am trying to make).. with one brick each and all online and replicating. But
the GUI shows thor (first server running engine) offline needing to be reloaded. Now
volumes show two bricks.. one online one offline. And no option to start / force
restart.
3) I have tried several times to try a graceful reboot to see if startup sequence was
issue. I tore down VLANs and bridges to make it flat 1 x 1Gb mgmt, 1 x 10Gb storage.
SSH between nodes is fine... copy test was great. I don't think it is nodes.
4) To the question of "did I add third node later." I would attach deployment
guide I am building ... but can't do that in this forum. but this is as simple as I
can make it. 3 intel generic servers, 1 x boot drive , 1 x 512GB SSD, 2 x 1TB SSD in
each. wipe all data all configuration fresh Centos8 minimal install.. setup SSH setup
basic networking... install cockpit.. run HCI wizard for all three nodes. That is all.
Trying to learn and support concept of oVirt as a viable platform but still trying to work
through learning how to root cause, kick tires, and debug / recover when things go down ..
as they will.
Help is appreciated. The main concern I have is gap in what engine sees and what CLI
shows. Can someone show me where to get logs? the GUI log when I try to
"activate" thor server "Status of host thor was set to
NonOperational." "Gluster command [<UNKNOWN>] failed on server
<UNKNOWN>." is very unhelpful.
