I'm new to oVirt, but not new to virtualization technologies. I've run into a wall, but the solution has gotta be simple. I've seen other threads with the same issue, but a solution is never posted.

I've followed the guide perfectly. I get the self-hosted engine up and running with no issues. I add hosts to the cluster, but it won't let me migrate the HE because of Hosted Engine HA score of "N/A" on every host except the one it was initially deployed on. The physical servers are exactly the same: same networks, storage, OS, patches, etc. The additional hosts are added thru the HE GUI and are added without issue. Is there a secret button I gotta push?

What am I missing? This is with 4.3 on CentOS 7.9.

HELP! Thanks. :-)

If you go in Compute --> Hosts in web admin gui, do the added hosts have a crown icon on the left of their "Name" column?

If not, when you added them possibly you overlooked the "Hosted Engine" section in the window, where by default, if I'm not wrong, the value is "None": that means that the added host doesn't contributed to be one of the "Hosted Engine" ones electable to host the engine VM, but only an hyoervisor.

Long time ago I opened two bugzillas about this default with some notes for improving a better experience....

If this is the case, you can remove the hosts one by one and add them again selecting "Deploy" in the Hosted Engine section, for how many you would like to contribute to the score and to be able to host the hosted engine VM.
