[ovirt-users] Restoring HE Fails, engine-config cannot connect to database

I am attempting to restore n HE backup to a fresh host (not previously in the old environment) in order to restore our old environment but running into issues during the deployment. Basically my goal is to remove and redeploy an existing HE back into its same environment on a new storage domain. What I've done: backed up HE from prior environment Installed oVirt 4.5.10 on a fresh node that was not in the prior environment Ran the redeployment: hosted-engine --deploy --restore-from-file=<bkpfile> --4 The script pauses the deployment (even tho I told it not to), during this part I update /etc/dnf/dnf.conf w/ "exclude=ansible-core" since once ansible-core is updated it breaks the deployment script w/ Python incompatibilities. But I'm running into the following: [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost -> 192.168.222.158]: FAILED! => {"changed": true, "cmd": "set -euo pipefail && engine-config -g DisableFenceAtStartupInSec | cut -d' ' -f2 > /root/DisableFenceAtStartupInSec.txt", "delta": "0:00:01.296169", "end": "2023-07-05 11:29:14.101292", "msg": "non-zero return code", "rc": 1, "start": "2023-07-05 11:29:12.805123", "stderr": "Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Dcom.redhat.fips=false", "stderr_lines": ["Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Dcom.redhat.fips=false"], "stdout": "", "stdout_lines": []} I see that it fails running the engine-config command on the new hosted engine, but when I SSH to it and try running it, I get: # engine-config -l Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Dcom.redhat.fips=false Connection to the Database failed. Please check that the hostname and port number are correct and that the Database service is up and running. I haven't been able to find anything specifically for this area searching through Google. Anyone have any idea where to go with this?
