Thanks for the input Femi... I used static for everything, my brick was 100GB and my password has no special chars. How do I get back to the point that I can try again though? I t seems to think my hosted engine is up on the hosted engine page, so it isn't giving me the opportunity to try to deploy it again. I'm probably missing something stupid, but can't see to figure this out. Thanks again, appreciate any advice.

Hi, \"engine-status\": {\"reason\": \"failed liveliness check\", \"health\": \"bad\", \"vm\": \"up\", \"detail\": \"Up\"} means that the engine VM is up at virt side although a liveliness check over http is failing. This could happen if your engine VM got a different network configuration or something like that. I'd suggest to connect to the engine VM over vnc and check the network status there. ovirt-ha-agent will try to keep the engine up so if the http health liveliness check is failing, ovirt-ha-agent will try to restart the engine VM.

Not sure if it helps, but I just noticed I have about 300

Hosted engine host: usbou-rhev01 changed state: EngineStarting-EngineStop.

Then

Hosted engine host: usbou-rhev01 changed state: EngineStop-EngineDown.

Then

Hosted engine host: usbou-rhev01 changed state: EngineDown-EngineStart.

Then

Hosted engine host: usbou-rhev01 changed state: EngineStart-EngineStarting.

And then it starts over... so there is obviously something wrong with the VM...

Under the virtualization page, It says I have 1 running virtual machine but I can't see it to delete it or get any visibility into it.

Thanks Bill

Ok, yes I am starting to think this is a network issue. I have two networks. When I setup hosted engine and gluster I used the private network 172.17.70.x as it was setting up gluster and I assumed that I should use the private network for this. Its been a while and I can’t remember exactly what steps I took setting up the management instance, but I did give it a static address on our normal management VLAN. but now wondering if it is on that private network.

Its been a while since I worked with ovirt and rhev, but, I normally could see a VM. I cannot see this VM at all anywhere of I am looking in the wrong place, but I have tried pretty much everything. I don’t know how I would VNC into it as I don’t see the VM or anyway to access the console which I would guess is what I need to do, or access its settings to verify the networking.

Thanks for the advice, but I seem to be missing something basic here.

Run on your first host hosted-engine --add-console-password to set a temporary VNC password and then connect to it over VNC with something like remote-viewer vnc://<host>:<port>

ovirt-ha-agent will try to keep the engine up so if the http health liveliness check is failing, ovirt-ha-agent will try to restart the engine VM.
