I have a fairly recent three node HCI setup running 4.2.5.  I've recently updated hosted engine to the latest version (including yum updates).  When I check for host updates through the engine gui I get the following error for all three of my hosts:

Failed to check for available updates on host XXXXX with message 'Failed to run check-update of host 'XXXXXX'.'.

The engine.log shows not much more detail:

Yum seems to run ok manually on the server (although not showing any updates available). 

Here is node and yum info/output from one of my hosts:

 nodectl check; nodectl info; yum update
