Hello oVirt Forum members:
We are currently using oVirt Version 3.5.0.1-1.el6. We tried to migrate to use hosted-engine model.
Somehow the hosted-engine got created, but the migration failed.
Please give more details, it's not completely clear what you did. Let's define: oldenginemachine - the machine where you ran the engine before migration attempt hostedenginehost - the host where you tried to run hosted-engine --deploy newenginemachine - the vm created by 'hosted-engine --deploy' where you were supposed to setup an engine (by migrating data from oldenginemachine) Was hostedenginehost registered in oldenginemachine before? Or is it a new host? Was the engine there down while you tried migrating? Is there a chance that it was up, and 'hosted-engine --deploy' connected to it and tried doing stuff there?
So I ran engine-setup to remove the installation.
Where?
However, I am now leave with a VM entry in our oVirt console called HostedEngine.
You mean, in oldenginemachine?
Tried to remove the entry by clicking on the Remove button on the console gives a message:
Error while executing action:
HostedEngine:
Cannot remove VM. This VM is not managed by the engine.
Indeed.
As far as I can tell, all files that were touched by the hosted-engine are reverted back to before install state. So I am not sure where that HostedEngine entry is coming from. Is that a record in the database that I need to clean up manually from the db?
Indeed. Not sure exactly how, but first let's be sure what the problem is. Best, -- Didi
