[ovirt-users] Self-hosted engine: Host cannot activate

[Kristof VAN DEN EYNDEN]

I have similar issues with all the hosts I add to oVirt. Ovirtmgmt is unassigned after setup while every server has a static address. 

What I can do is assign ovirtmgmt to an interface, set the static IP again, save it and then press the activate button on the host tab. After that all is fine

Onderwerp: [ovirt-users] Self-hosted engine: Host cannot activate

I am attempting to install oVirt 3.6 on a CentOS7 host.  it is a single server, so I am trying to install a self-hosted engine.  I am able to install oVirt 3.5 self-hosted engine, but am having some problems doing it with 3.6.

Everything appears to go fine; the engine-setup completes successfully.  On the host, I pressed"1" to indicate engine-setup was complete, and it can connect to the webadmin but the host never becomes operational.

I am able to log in to the webadmin, and indeed the host is in a non-operational state.  When I click on the host then click on the "Virtual networks" tab, all my interfaces are showing a red arrow.

When I click on "Setup Host Networks", my "ovirtmgmt" network is unassigned.  Believing this to be why my host is not operational (since it is under "Required"), I assigned it to my management interface, but the interfaces still remain red.  In addition, the "ovirtmgmt" network does have a green arrow, but also the icon indicating "Out of sync".  If I click on "Sync All Networks", I get the following error:

"Error while executing action SyncAllHostNetworks: Network is currently being used"

which makes sense, since "ovirtmgmt" is assigned/in use.  I am unable to unassign ovirtmgmt.

Current status is this:

   - All network interfaces are showing the red "down" arrow
   - "ovirtmgmt" is assigned to my management NIC, but indicating that it is out of sync
   - I am unable to unassign the "ovirtmgmt" network (or at least, if I do, the "OK" button is greyed out)

I could destroy the engine VM and go through the setup again, with the idea of once it is installed and waiting for the host to become operational, I could do a "Sync All Networks" and see if the networks turn green and go from there.

I wanted to see what sort of insight I could get from here first.  I am not sure what logs would be useful to you, so let me know what you want to see and I and make them available (I will likely zip them up and post a link)

Something else I could try if this becomes a "puzzler" is to do a 3.5.x self-hosted engine then perform an in-place upgrade to 3.6 and see if that works?  I would rather try to help make a direct 3.6 install work, though...

Thanks, in advance! :-)

Regards,

Alan
