[ovirt-users] VM HostedEngie is down. Exist message: internal error Failed to acquire lock error -243

[Andrew Lau]

I just ran a few extra tests, I had a 2 host, hosted-engine running
for a day. They both had a score of 2400. Migrated the VM through the
UI multiple times, all worked fine. I then added the third host, and
that's when it all fell to pieces.
Other two hosts have a score of 0 now.

I'm also curious, in the BZ there's a note about:

where engine-vm block connection to storage domain(via iptables -I
INPUT -s sd_ip -j DROP)

What's the purpose for that?
