Hi
I am looking for
help after my oVirt upgrade failed.
I have upgraded from
ovirt 4.3 to 4.4 following the instructions here:
It's a single-host
(standalone engine) test environment.
I wiped CentOS 7 and
reinstalled a fresh CentOS 8.
I installed the oVirt 4.4 repo and all the necessary software packets.
I used
`engine-backup
--mode=restore --file=/tmp/ovirt-engine-pre-upgrade.backup
--provision-all-databases` from a backup file I created
before I started the upgrade.
After the restore, I
ran `engine-setup`.
I did not get any
errors during any of these steps on the console.
So the upgrade could
be considered successful from that perspective.
After the upgrade, I
login to the ovirt admin portal, and I try to "Activate" my
host (was set to "Maintenance" mode before upgrade).
The Activation fails
with error "NonResponsive" in the GUI.
Under the "bell"
icon, I find the Event "Host
nuc1.feric.ch is non responsive.”
In
/var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log, I find the following error:
```

[org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.vdsbroker.GetCapabilitiesAsyncVDSCommand]

vds=‘Host[nuc1.feric.h,d7c30cc0-ac59-4cf3-a1e7-b9fae9db83fb]'})' execution
failed: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused ```
`systemctl
status ovirt-engine` shows that the engine is running.
I am able to reboot the host from the oVirt GUI directly.
Does anyone have an
idea how to proceed?
Many thanks
Toni
