[hosted-engine] install additional nodes without knowing another HE host's root password?
Hi, I'm trying to deploy a 2nd host to my hosted-engine environment, but the 1st host doesn't have a root password - it only has a sudo account. I can temporarily set a password and enable ssh for the root account, but I'm curious whether there is proper way to do this without messing with the user accounts? for example: - Locating the answer file that was copied from the 1st host manually (I already tried 'hosted-engine --deploy --config-append=answers-XXXXXXXXXXXXXX.conf' but the setup thought that I'm going to deploy my 1st host) - scp from an account other than 'root' Regards, Wee --- ซอฟต์แวร์ Avast แอนตี้ไวรัสตรวจสอบหาไวรัสจากอีเมลนี้แล้ว https://www.avast.com/antivirus

this kind of configuration is not supported by Hosted Engine. Please open a RFE for supporting this setup.

IMO it should have passed this point. Use the answer file in /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine, not in /var . If all goes well they should be identical, otherwise /etc will have the "last known good" one and /var will have all. But it might fail later during host-deploy. That stage requires ssh from the engine to the host as root (currently, there's an open RFE about this). But it does not require a password, because we add the engine's public key to the host's /root/.ssh/authorized_keys. So if you allow ssh as root with public key auth, it should work. Please check/post setup logs to try and understand why it was identified as 1st host.
- scp from an account other than 'root'
Not difficult in principle, currently not supported. As Sandro said, you can open an RFE. Best,
Regards, Wee
