[ovirt-users] HA agent fails to start

[Richard Neuboeck]

Hi oVirt Group,

in my attempts to get all aspects of oVirt 3.6 up and running I
stumbled upon something I'm not sure how to fix:

Initially I installed a hosted engine setup. After that I added
another HA host (with hosted-engine --deploy). The host was
registered in the Engine correctly and HA agent came up as expected.

However if I reboot the second host (through the Engine UI or
manually) HA agent fails to start. The reason seems to be that
/etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf is empty. The backup
file ending with ~ exists though.

Here are the log messages from the journal:

If I restore the configuration from the backup file and manually
restart the HA agent it's working properly.

For testing purposes I added a third HA host which turn out to
behave exactly the same.

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
Cheers
Richard
