[ovirt-users] Cannot retrieve answer file from 1st HE host when setting up 2nd host

[Will Dennis]

OK, thanks to the assist from Joob, I did startup the engine VM, and took it out of maint mode… Then I went to my second oVirt host, and tried “hosted-engine —setup” again, and I’m still getting the error message “Failed to execute stage 'Environment customization': [Errno 2] No such file”

Screen output of the “hosted-engine —setup” run:
http://ur1.ca/ocr5u

So, I guess that means it can’t find the answer file where it expects it on the first host… What do I do now?

OK, after all the t’shooting I could think to do, out of desperation I put the engine VM in maint mode, then rebooted the host. When it came up, I can now SSH into it normally (no long delay now.) I saw two state email changes come in after the reboot:

- StartState-ReinitializeFSM
- ReinitializeFSM-LocalMaintenance

But the engine VM never started… Do I have to do something at the host (issue a command) to get the engine VM to start? (Sorry if I’m ignorant, an oVirt noob here…)
