I'm unable to recreate the original problem.
The good news is, the process moves past the engine_setup now.
The ovirt-engine server actually starts, and is exposed on
https://:6900/ovirt-engine
The bad news is, when I try to access the engine Web UI at that URL, I get a
'500 Internal Server Error'.
I don't see any obvious errors in the log files in /var/log/ovirt-engine
I'm able to access the URL https://:6900/ovirt-engine
However, as soon as I click the "Administration Portal" link on the main page,
I see the '500 Internal Server Error'
I do notice the following error in /var/log/httpd/ssl_error_log;
[Sat Aug 06 18:45:32.106641 2022] [auth_openidc:error] [pid 1648:tid
139896547178240] [client 192.168.222.3:58098] oidc_authenticate_user: the URL
hostname (ovirt-engine.internal.net) of the configured OIDCRedirectURI does not
match the URL hostname of the URL being accessed (ovirt-node04.internal.net):
the "state" and "session" cookies will not be shared between the two!, referer:
https://ovirt-node04.internal.net:6900/ovirt-engine/
The error above would suggest that it will not be possible to access the engine
Web UI which is temporarily exposed on port 6900.
How has this ever been possible in the past?
What do I need to do in order to access the engine Web UI, since I need to
configure the hosts's network to include several VLANs necessary to complete
the restore of the engine DB?
Prior to the above...
I took a fresh backup of the ovirt engine.
Set up a fresh/new ovirt node.
Copied the backup to the new node.
I ran the 'hosted-engine --deploy --restore-from-file=' command.
Below are the complete messages of that attempt, up to the point I get the '500
Internal Server' error in the browser.
--- snip ---
[root@ovirt-node04 ~]# hosted-engine --deploy --restore-from-file=20220806-all
[ INFO ] Stage: Initializing
[ INFO ] Stage: Environment setup
During customization use CTRL-D to abort.
Continuing will configure this host for serving as hypervisor and
will create a local VM with a running engine.
The provided engine backup file will be restored there,
it's strongly recommended to run this tool on an host that wasn't
part of the environment going to be restored.
If a reference to this host is already contained in the backup file,
it will be filtered out at restore time.
The locally running engine will be used to configure a new storage
domain and create a VM there.
At the end the disk of the local VM will be moved to the shared
storage.
The old hosted-engine storage domain will be renamed, after checking
that everything is correctly working you can manually remove it.
Other hosted-engine hosts have to be reinstalled from the engine to
update their hosted-engine configuration.
Are you sure you want to continue? (Yes, No)[Yes]:
It has been detected that this program is executed through an SSH
connection without using tmux.
Continuing with the installation may lead to broken installation if
the network connection fails.
It is highly recommended to abort the installation and run it inside
a tmux session using command "tmux".
Do you want to continue anyway? (Yes, No)[No]: Yes
