2nd Self-Hosted Engine Node Not Attached To "ovirtmgmt" Network

Hi All, So, I've got the Self-Hosted Engine up and running on the first Host, and everything *seems* to be working OK. I'm now attempting to use the Web UI to add a new ie 2nd (Self-Hosted Engine) Host to the cluster. Everything *seems* to go OK except the 2nd Host is left in a Non-Operational state (which I believe is "normal") awaiting the set up of the Host Networks. Its here where things go wrong: the 2nd Host does not have the ovirtmgmt Network attached (nor any of the others, for that matter). When I drag the ovirtmgmt Network to the 2nd Host's pre-existing (and working) bond interface the Engine works away for a while and then reports "Error while executing action HostSetupNetworks: Unexpected exception". I have located (but have not yet read) these logs from the 2nd Host: - agent.log - broker.log I have located (but have not yet read) these logs from the Engine: - engine.log - ovirt-host-deploy-ansible-20221124150742-ovirt_node_1.mynet.local-c26ca3fc-3c3f-4ee0-9562-fd7fd5066f8b.log - ovirt-host-deploy-ansible-20221124150742-ovirt_node_2.mynet.local-c26ca3fc-3c3f-4ee0-9562-fd7fd5066f8b.log Just to make things clear: - Both the Hosts are physically the same. Same brand/model of M/Board, NICS, HDDs, ect. Same layout, etc - The Web UI says that the 2nd Host's Bond is working AOK (as is the 1st Host) - I can ssh into the 2nd Host fine. So my questions are: 1) Which other logs should I be looking at? 2) Has anyone else struck this issue before (I had a look through the mail list archives, etc, and couldn't really find anything relevant - but as always, I may be mistaken)? Any and all help greately appreciated Cheers Dulux-Oz

Searching the net for "ovirt HostSetupNetworks", as well as searching bugzilla for "HostSetupNetworks", finds many reports. Right now, your problem does not sound to me hosted-engine-specific. Good luck and best regards, -- Didi

Sorry, should have updated this sooner: Issue resolved - turns out I had an old install hanging around (which I didn't know / had forgotten about) and the previous ovirtmgmt bridge was causing issues. I removed the old bridge, did a re-installed, and all is now good (as far as *this* issue is concerned) :-) Cheers Dulux-Oz
