Please give more details, it's not completely clear what you did.

Let's define:

oldenginemachine - the machine where you ran the engine before migration attempt

hostedenginehost - the host where you tried to run hosted-engine --deploy

newenginemachine - the vm created by 'hosted-engine --deploy' where you were
supposed to setup an engine (by migrating data from oldenginemachine)

Was hostedenginehost registered in oldenginemachine before? Or is it a new
host?

Was the engine there down while you tried migrating?

Is there a chance that it was up, and 'hosted-engine --deploy' connected to
it and tried doing stuff there?

Where?

You mean, in oldenginemachine?

Indeed.

Indeed.

Not sure exactly how, but first let's be sure what the problem is.
