oVirt 4.2 Self-hosted engine deployment fails at the end - "failed liveliness check"
I successfully deployed an oVirt 4.2 self-hosted engine setup just over 6 months ago, and recently tried to re-install to modify hostnames on the engine and hypervisor. After I cleaned up and re-ran hosted-engine --deploy my install failed right at the end (TASK [Wait for the engine to come up on the target VM]) with the following error: ERROR otopi.ovirt_hosted_engine_setup.ansible_utils ansible_utils._process_output:98 fatal and the following engine vm status: Engine status: {"reason": "failed liveliness check", "health": "bad", "vm": "up", "detail": "Up"} I opted to do a clean re-install of CentOS 7.5 and try again, but I keep running into the same error (see the attached logs). Some details that may or may not be helpful: - I'm reusing old mount points without formatting such as /home and my previous NFS-exported storage domain LVMs. The root partition, swap, /boot, and the engine destination LVMs were all re-formatted during the CentOS 7.5 install or prior to attempted oVirt install. - I'm reusing the MAC address from the previous attempt (so that it picks up the static entry I put on my router). - I currently only have entries in /etc/hosts to map FQDNs to IPs, but the install fails the same way whether or not I tell the process to populate the engine VM's hosts file. - Prior to my re-install of CentOS 7.5 I tried, and was able, to log into the engine appliance. I saw the hosted engine VM was listed as "down", and there was some temporary VM (leftover from the install process?) that I couldn't do anything to. Thanks in advance for your help!

This kind of error is typically due to the fact that the engine VM got from DHCP an address that doesn't match what you wrote in /etc/hosts on your host. I'd suggest to set a temporary VNV password with hosted-engine --add-console-password and then connect to the engine VM over VNC to double check its network configuration.

Well I feel stupid now, after checking everything in the engine VM itself per your suggestion, I checked /etc/hosts on the host itself. I could have sworn I added in an entry, but sure enough, missing entry for the engine... I cleaned up the old "External" engine VM from setup, added the entry into /etc/hosts, and everything seems to be working fine now. Thanks for the help!
