Hi all,
I have a hyperconverged setup where I have a hosted engine that runs on one of three
hosts, which are named “ovirt-node-[01,02,03]” —
[root@ovirt-node-01 ~]# hosted-engine --vm-status | grep -e "Hostname" -e
"Engine"
Hostname : ovirt-node-01
Engine status : {"health": "good",
"vm": "up", "detail": "up"}
Hostname : ovirt-node-02
Engine status : {"reason": "vm not running on this
host", "health": "bad", "vm": "down",
"detail": "unknown"}
Hostname : ovirt-node-03
Engine status : {"reason": "vm not running on this
host", "health": "bad", "vm": "down",
"detail": "unknown”}
When I deployed the hosted engine, I gave it a separate hostname/IP, as I expected it
would need it (hostname = “ovirt-engine-01”)
However, when I look at the hosts in the oVirt web admin screen, I see that the first host
has the name “ovirt-engine-01” whereas it has the hostname of “ovirt-node-01”
I also notice that even though the 1st host is showing the number of VM’s running as “1”,
when I click on the “VMs” node, there are no VMs showing.
Not sure of what “should be”, but, would expect that the first host would have a name
equal to its DNS hostname (like the other two do), and that in VMs I would see the engine
VM. But is that not how a hosted engine setup works?
And if not, if the engine VM migrates over to another host, will that host gain the name
"“ovirt-engine-01”?
I ask this now because I want to set up a storage domain on these hosts using GlusterFS,
and I have to select a host to base the connection on. In the “Use Host” dropbox, I
currently see the values:
ovirt-node-03
ovirt-node-02
ovirt-engine-01
I would expect that the last entry would be for “ovirt-host-01”, not “ovirt-engine-01”…
I don’t want to set up the storage domain until I figure this out, so as to prevent
potential breakage...
Thanks,
Will
