hosted engine supports running on *multiple* nodes, providing out of the box HA between them. the setup should ask you if this is the second host and take care of all the right things to copy.
thanks for the pointer. The documentation at [1] describes the required steps to setup a second node. Unfortunately it failed for me because my second node was added to the cluster before [2]. Even manual setting the second node to "maintenance" and back to state "up" didn't help, hosted-engine-setup as unable to detect the host's state [3]. Though following the steps was enough to start the hosted-engine VM manually on the second node. This makes a manual failover possible, which is sufficient for now :) Thanks - Frank [1] http://www.ovirt.org/Hosted_Engine_Howto#Installing_additional_nodes [2] 2014-01-26 18:24:59 DEBUG otopi.plugins.ovirt_hosted_engine_setup.engine.add_host add_host._closeup:437 Cannot add the host to the Default cluster Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/scripts/../plugins/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/engine/add_host.py", line 431, in _closeup override_iptables=True, File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ovirtsdk/infrastructure/brokers.py", line 8679, in add headers={"Expect":expect, "Correlation-Id":correlation_id} File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ovirtsdk/infrastructure/proxy.py", line 88, in add return self.request('POST', url, body, headers) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ovirtsdk/infrastructure/proxy.py", line 118, in request persistent_auth=self._persistent_auth) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ovirtsdk/infrastructure/proxy.py", line 140, in __doRequest persistent_auth=persistent_auth File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ovirtsdk/web/connection.py", line 134, in doRequest raise RequestError, response RequestError: status: 409 reason: Conflict detail: Cannot add Host.
