Hello, everyone! So, I have an experimental installation of ovirt 4.2.3.1 with 3 nodes and glustered. Recently I deployed a new installation with ovirt 4.3.5.2, 3nodes and glustered storage here as well. The thing is, in my enthousiasm I thought "hey! what if I can import the experimental nodes as hosts in the new installation in a new cluster and see what happens? Will the 4.3.5.2 engine see them? Probably yeah. But will it see the VMs I have there?" And so I imported the experimental nodes. Without detaching them from their hosted engine. I could see the only VM that was active at the moment and not one of the suspended ones and of course I could not see the 4.2.3.1 HE VM. I have removed the hosts from the new installation and I have tried reconnecting the old engine and its nodes. Passwordless ssh works just fine, but the problem persists. hosted-engine --vm-status reports stale-data on node 2 and node 3 The thing is I know I messed the experimental installation (and I blame only my curiosity), SSL handshake is no longer feasable and I can't remove the hosts from the initial Cluster to Import them again. Basically everything is either in the process of activating without ever being able to do so or down or Non responsive. I would like to find a way around this, as I have seen in other posts in the ovirt forum that the SSL handshake error appears in some other cases and I would like to have a know-how if an occasion like this occurs in the future in production. Is it possible to re-deploy the engine on the nodes and not lose the glustered space or the existing VMs? Can the HE be destroyed and then deployed from scratch? What about the glustered space and the VMs' space? Will the VMs just take up space without being able to neither bring them up nor destroy them? I know I'm asking a lot and it was my fault to begin with but I am really curious if we can see this through.
