Do you have a PTR record for the engine's IP ? Best Regards,Strahil Nikolov Hello, I am trying to install the Hosted engine using the wizard.  I am NOT using the hyper converged.  When I add the fqdn  of  vmengine1.domain.com  I get the error. localhost is not a valid address.  When I add the host fqdn in the advanced area it validates, if I put the vmengine1.domain.com in the the host section it validates. Facts: - I have the domain in dns, confirmed by dig to resolve to the public IP of the host. - I have the domain in hosts file confirmed by using ping and dig - I have generated a ssh key for the root user on the host and I have added it to the known hosts file. - I have logged into via ssh to all forms of addressing, so the known hosts file has been updated.  localhost ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 AAAA host1 ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 AAAA host1.localhost ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 AAAA vmengine.localhost ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 AAAA host1.domain.com ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 AAAA vmengine1.domain.com ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 AAAA The reading suggests that the error doesn't mean what it says, but something about ssh not able to login to the host.  I have been able to login to the host with ssh manually from the cli.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks Brad _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users(a)ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/N7TRXSW3UZR...
