Your current state is not fully clear. Can you please describe it in detail?

How many hosts do you have? What's the state of each in the engine?

Do you have VMs that are ok? And if so, is it important to not stop them?

In any case, if you have hosts that do not have VMs on them, and in whatever
state, it's probably simplest to move them to maintenance, remove from the
engine, reinstall the OS, then try to add them.

If you try to add a host and it fails, please check/attach engine.log and
host-deploy log.

If you fail to activate a host, please check/attach engine.log.

Best,
