Im and quite new at using mailing list, but here is my current challenge.

I am adding a new host from a fresh install centos 7. Updated with yum -y update and yum install then repo from ovirt v.3.6.

yum install what?

Now the installation of the host is stuck at validating for 2 hours.

"installation" meaning "New host" in the web admin? Something else?

Have tried to restart vdsmd to see if I cant trigger a failure, but no. Did a reboot of the host and that did not help. Now it is powered off and the engine is has registered that there is no connection to the host with error: "VDSM KVM2 command failed: Connection issue null"

Is there a way to cancel a running task?

The word "task" has a quite specific meaning in the engine, and installation of a host is not a task. Generally speaking, AFAIK, you can't easily cancel a task. To debug host installation, while the installation is running, you can check /tmp of the host. You should be able to find there stuff of ovirt-host-deploy, which is the program running on the host to deploy it. If you manage to find the log, please check/post it. Thanks. Best, -- Didi
