I am having a problem with the hosted-engine deployment, and unfortunately after a weekend spent trying to get this far, I am finally stuck, and cannot figure out how to fix this.
I am starting with 1 host, and will have 4 when this is finished. Storage is GlusterFS, hyperconverged, but I am managing that myself outside of oVirt. It's a single-node GlusterFS volume, which I will expand out across the other 4 nodes as well. I get
all the way through the initial hosted-engine deployment (via the cockpit interface) pre-storage, then get most of the way through the storage portion of it. It fails at starting the HostedEngine VM in its final state after copying the VM disk to shared storage.
This is where it gets weird.
[ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Engine VM IP address is while the engine's he_fqdn ovirt.deleted.domain resolves to 192.168.x.x. If you are using DHCP, check your DHCP reservation configuration"}
I've masked out the domain and IP for obvious reasons. However I think this deployment error isn't really the reason for the failure, it's just where it is at when it fails. The HostedEngine VM is starting, but not actually booting. I was able to change
the VNC password with `hosted-engine --add-console-password`, and see the local console display with that, however it just displays "The guest has not initialized the display (yet)".
I also did:
# hosted-engine --console
The engine VM is running on this host
Escape character is ^]
Yet that doesn't move any further, nor allow any input. The VM does not respond on the network. I am thinking it's just not making it to the initial BIOS screen and booting at all. What would cause that?
Here is the glusterfs volume for clarity.
