I successfully deployed an oVirt 4.2 self-hosted engine setup just over 6
months ago, and recently tried to re-install to modify hostnames on the
engine and hypervisor. After I cleaned up and re-ran hosted-engine
--deploy my install failed right at the end (TASK [Wait for the engine to
come up on the target VM]) with the following error:
ERROR otopi.ovirt_hosted_engine_setup.ansible_utils
ansible_utils._process_output:98 fatal
and the following engine vm status:
Engine status: {"reason": "failed liveliness check",
"health": "bad", "vm":
"up", "detail": "Up"}
I opted to do a clean re-install of CentOS 7.5 and try again, but I keep
running into the same error (see the attached logs).
Some details that may or may not be helpful:
- I'm reusing old mount points without formatting such as /home and my
previous NFS-exported storage domain LVMs. The root partition, swap,
/boot, and the engine destination LVMs were all re-formatted during the
CentOS 7.5 install or prior to attempted oVirt install.
- I'm reusing the MAC address from the previous attempt (so that it picks
up the static entry I put on my router).
- I currently only have entries in /etc/hosts to map FQDNs to IPs, but the
install fails the same way whether or not I tell the process to populate
the engine VM's hosts file.
- Prior to my re-install of CentOS 7.5 I tried, and was able, to log into
the engine appliance. I saw the hosted engine VM was listed as "down", and
there was some temporary VM (leftover from the install process?) that I
couldn't do anything to.
Thanks in advance for your help!
