Hello Team, We are running a setup of 3-way replica HC gluster setup configured during the initial deployment from the cockpit console using ansible. NODE1 - /dev/sda (OS) - /dev/sdb ( Gluster Bricks ) * /gluster_bricks/engine/engine/ * /gluster_bricks/data/data/ * /gluster_bricks/vmstore/vmstore/ NODE2 and NODE3 with a similar setup. Hosted engine was running on node2. - While moving NODE1 to maintenance mode along with stopping the gluster service as it prompts before, Hosted engine instantly went down. - I start the gluster service back on node1 and start the hosted engine again and found hosted engine started properly but getting crashed again and again within frames of second after a successful start because HE itself stopping glusterd on node1. (not sure) but cross-verified by checking glusterd status. *Is it possible to clear pending tasks or not let the HE to stop glusterd on node1?* *Or we can start the HE using other gluster node?* https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/Qu2tSHuF-~G4GjGmstV6mg -- ABHISHEK SAHNI IISER Bhopal
