[ovirt-users] host status "Non Operational" - how to diagnose & fix?

[Will Dennis]

I must admit I’m getting a bit weary of fighting oVirt problems at this point… Before I move on to deploying any VMs onto my new infra, I’d like to get the base infra working…

I’m still experiencing a “Non Operational” problem on my “ovirt-node-02” host:

I have pored thru the logs (all the engine logs, plus the syslogs from the engine VM + and my three hypervisor/storage hosts) and I can’t pin down why the one node is having a problem… Of course with how voluminous all these logs are, it’s kind of like looking for a needle in a haystack, and I’m not even sure what the needle looks like, or if it’s even a needle :-/

I have also rebooted this host in past days, this also did not fix the problem.

Note that on the screenshot I posted above, that the webadmin hosts screen says that -node-01 has one VM running, and the others 0… You’d think that would be the HE VM running on there, but it’s actually on -node-02:

$ ansible istgroup-ovirt -f 1 -i prod -u root -m shell -a "hosted-engine --vm-status | grep -e '^Hostname' -e '^Engine'"
ovirt-node-01 | success | rc=0 >>
Hostname                           : ovirt-node-01
Engine status                      : {"reason": "bad vm status", "health": "bad", "vm": "down", "detail": "down"}
Hostname                           : ovirt-node-02
Engine status                      : {"health": "good", "vm": "up", "detail": "up"}
Hostname                           : ovirt-node-03
Engine status                      : {"reason": "vm not running on this host", "health": "bad", "vm": "down", "detail": "unknown"}

ovirt-node-02 | success | rc=0 >>
Hostname                           : ovirt-node-01
Engine status                      : {"reason": "bad vm status", "health": "bad", "vm": "down", "detail": "down"}
Hostname                           : ovirt-node-02
Engine status                      : {"health": "good", "vm": "up", "detail": "up"}
Hostname                           : ovirt-node-03
Engine status                      : {"reason": "vm not running on this host", "health": "bad", "vm": "down", "detail": "unknown"}

ovirt-node-03 | success | rc=0 >>
Hostname                           : ovirt-node-01
Engine status                      : {"reason": "bad vm status", "health": "bad", "vm": "down", "detail": "down"}
Hostname                           : ovirt-node-02
Engine status                      : {"health": "good", "vm": "up", "detail": "up"}
Hostname                           : ovirt-node-03
Engine status                      : {"reason": "vm not running on this host", "health": "bad", "vm": "down", "detail": "unknown”}

So it looks like the webadmin UI is wrong as well…

It would be awesome if the UI would give a reason for the “Non Operational” status somehow… Or if there was a troubleshooter that could be used to analyze the problem… As it is, being so new to all of this, I am completely at the list’s mercy to figure this out.

This software has such promise, so I’ll keep working thru these issues, but it sure hasn’t been a smooth ride so far…
