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

[Will Dennis]

No, it did not complete successfully- the installer threw a error at the end "Failed to start service 'ovirt-ha-agent' " during the "Closing up" stage due to the (now fixed) bug with the ha-agent systemd startup script.... So should I copy the correct answers log from /var/lib/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup to /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/answers.conf and try the setup again on the second host?

-Will

The answerfile is expected to be found in
/etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/answers.conf .
It's written there upon a successful completion of deploy.

Absolutely, I suggest you to start checking for /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/answers.conf on the first host.
If the file is not here please check the setup logs on the first to ensure that it successful completed.


It's also always written to /var/lib/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/answers/ .

You can also copy it by yourself to somefile and run:

hosted-engine --deploy --config-append=somefile

But I'd invest some time understanding why scp fails. Might be bad
name resolution?
