However, just today I have discovered that command chmod -R 755 /mnt/rhevstore, if executed on new to be added Hypervisor, after oVirt is already running, it brings the oVirt Engine into broken state. The moment I executed the above on 3rd Hypervisor, before provisioning it into oVirt, following occurred: * Engine threw following error: * 2019-08-19 13:16:31,425Z ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.vdsbroker.SpmStatusVDSCommand] (EE-ManagedThreadFactory-engineScheduled-Thread-82) [] Failed in 'SpmStatusVDS' method * Connection was lost: * packet_write_wait: Connection to 10.210.11.10 port 22: Broken pipe * And VDSM on SHE Hosting hypervisor started logging errors like: * 2019-08-19 15:00:52,340+0000 INFO (jsonrpc/0) [jsonrpc.JsonRpcServer] RPC call Host.getAllVmStats succeeded in 0.00 seconds (__init__:312) * 2019-08-19 15:00:53,865+0000 WARN (vdsm.Scheduler) [Executor] Worker blocked: <Worker name=periodic/2 running <Task <Operation action=<vdsm.virt.sampling.HostMonitor object at 0x7f59442c3d50> at 0x7f59442c3b90> timeout=15, duration=225.00 at 0x7f592476df90> task#=578 at 0x7f59442ef910>, traceback: * File: "/usr/lib64/python2.7/threading.py", line 785, in __bootstrap * self.__bootstrap_inner() * File: "/usr/lib64/python2.7/threading.py", line 812, in __bootstrap_inner * self.run() * File: "/usr/lib64/python2.7/threading.py", line 765, in run * self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs) * File: "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/common/concurrent.py", line 195, in run * ret = func(*args, **kwargs) * File: "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/executor.py", line 301, in _run * self._execute_task() * File: "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/executor.py", line 315, in _execute_task * task() * File: "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/executor.py", line 391, in __call__ * self._callable() * File: "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/virt/periodic.py", line 186, in __call__ * self._func() * File: "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/virt/sampling.py", line 481, in __call__ * stats = hostapi.get_stats(self._cif, self._samples.stats()) * File: "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/host/api.py", line 79, in get_stats * ret['haStats'] = _getHaInfo() * File: "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/host/api.py", line 177, in _getHaInfo * stats = instance.get_all_stats() * File: "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_ha/client/client.py", line 94, in get_all_stats * stats = broker.get_stats_from_storage() * File: "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_ha/lib/brokerlink.py", line 143, in get_stats_from_storage * result = self._proxy.get_stats() * File: "/usr/lib64/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py", line 1233, in __call__ * return self.__send(self.__name, args) * File: "/usr/lib64/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py", line 1591, in __request * verbose=self.__verbose * File: "/usr/lib64/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py", line 1273, in request * return self.single_request(host, handler, request_body, verbose) * File: "/usr/lib64/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py", line 1303, in single_request * response = h.getresponse(buffering=True) * File: "/usr/lib64/python2.7/httplib.py", line 1113, in getresponse * response.begin() * File: "/usr/lib64/python2.7/httplib.py", line 444, in begin * version, status, reason = self._read_status() * File: "/usr/lib64/python2.7/httplib.py", line 400, in _read_status * line = self.fp.readline(_MAXLINE + 1) * File: "/usr/lib64/python2.7/socket.py", line 476, in readline * data = self._sock.recv(self._rbufsize) (executor:363) * 2019-08-19 15:00:54,103+0000 INFO (jsonrpc/1) [jsonrpc.JsonRpcServer] RPC call Host.ping2 succeeded in 0.00 seconds (__init__:312) I am unable to boot the Engine VM – it end up in Status ForceStop Hosted-engine –vm-status shows: [root@ovirt-sj-02 ~]# hosted-engine --vm-status The hosted engine configuration has not been retrieved from shared storage.
