[ovirt-users] Re: Issue deploying self hosted engine on new install

Hi, I have figured it out that the root cause of the deployment failure is timing out while the hosted engine was trying to connect to host vis SSH as shown in engine.log (located in /var/log/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/engine-logs-2019-12-31T06:34:38Z/ovirt-engine): 2019-12-31 15:43:06,082+09 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.hostdeploy.AddVdsCommand] (default task-1) [f48796e7-a4c5-4c09-a70d-956f0c4249b4] Failed to establish session with host 'alice-ovirt-01.sdfarm.kr': SSH connection timed out connecting to &#39;root(a)alice-ovirt-01.sdfarm.kr&#39; 2019-12-31 15:43:06,085+09 WARN [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.hostdeploy.AddVdsCommand] (default task-1) [f48796e7-a4c5-4c09-a70d-956f0c4249b4] Validation of action 'AddVds' failed for user admin@internal-authz.

Connecting to host via SSH has failed, verify that the host is reachable (IP address, routable address etc.) You may refer to the engine.log file for further details.] The FQDN of hosted engine (alice-ovirt-engine.sdfarm.kr <http://alice-ovirt-engine.sdfarm.kr/>) is resolved as well as the host (alice-ovirt-01.sdfarm.kr <http://alice-ovirt-01.sdfarm.kr/>) and SSH is the one of services that are allowed by firewalld. I believe the rules of firewalld is automatically configured during the deployment to work with hosted engine and the host. Also root access is configured to be allowed at the first stage of deployment. I was just wondering how I can verify the hosted engine can access to the host at this stage? Once it fails to deploy, the deployment script make all things rolled back (I believe it cleans all up) and the vm-status of hosted-engine is un-deployed. Thank you in advance, Best regards, Sang-Un
