Hello,
hope, you are doing well. I try to install a new hosted engine on my environment to switch the storage this engine. I use following command to deploy the instance:
hosted-engine --deploy --4 --ansible-extra-vars=he_offline_deployment=true
Everything works fine, except the initialization of lockspace volume. Here I get:
```

```
And I dont know, what is the reason. I zeroed the iscsi target, rebooted the hypervisor and updated all software packages.
```
[root@hypervisor01 ~]# rpm -qa|grep ovirt-host
ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-2.6.5-1.el8.noarch
ovirt-host-dependencies-4.5.0-3.el8.x86_64
ovirt-hosted-engine-ha-2.5.0-1.el8.noarch
ovirt-host-4.5.0-3.el8.x86_64
```
I tried the deployment without the ansible arguments. Unfortunately, the same error comes up. What can I do to solve this?
Thanks very much
