[ovirt-users] questions about migrating to self-hosted engine from bare-metal

Hi,

I want to migrate from a bare-metal engine to a self-hosted one. I'm
following the guide at:

http://www.ovirt.org/documentation/self-hosted/chap-Migrating_from_Bare_Metal_to_an_EL-Based_Self-Hosted_Environment/

I've created a new VM with el 7.3 on the existing cluster, and used an
NFS share as storage on another VM, (which does not fill up). It gets
most of the way through and then mentions failing to execute
'closing_ip', and fails to start the VM:

[ INFO  ] Creating Image for 'hosted-engine.lockspace' ...
[ INFO  ] Image for 'hosted-engine.lockspace' created successfully
[ INFO  ] Creating Image for 'hosted-engine.metadata' ...

          The following network ports should be opened:
              tcp:5900
              tcp:5901
              tcp:9090
              udp:5900
              udp:5901
          An example of the required configuration for iptables can be found at:
              /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/iptables.example
          In order to configure firewalld, copy the files from
          /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/firewalld to /etc/firewalld/services
          and execute the following commands:
              firewall-cmd -service hosted-cockpit
              firewall-cmd -service hosted-console
[ INFO  ] Creating VM

[ INFO  ] Stage: Clean up

          Log file is located at
/var/log/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-20170213141937-0wgc31.log

In the vdsm log, it appears to be complaining about the volume not
existing, but I can see it (it is on NFS)

I've attached the vdsm.log and answers.conf

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Cam
