Hi Guys,
We had a 2-node self-supported RHEV cluster that we used for our development
environment. We're in the middle of a migration from RHEV over to VMware - one
host has already been converted to VMware and we have actively been running VM
migrations over to VMware. During the migration, we had an extended power
outage and had to improperly shut down the RHEV host. Since bringing it back up
we've not been able to start the hosted-engine. Each time we try to start the
hosted engine we're getting the following messages:
## START
[root@bmrhev01 ~]# hosted-engine --vm-start
VM exists and is down, cleaning up and restarting
VM in WaitForLaunch
[root@bmrhev01 ~]# hosted-engine --vm-status
--== Host bmrhev01 (id: 1) status ==--
conf_on_shared_storage : True

"health": "bad", "vm": "down_unexpected", "detail": "unknown"}

END ##
We've tried rebooting a number of times. Restarting various oVirt services.
Nothing appears to be resolving the issue. At this point, the only thing I
truly care about is migrating the guest VMs over to VMware. There's nothing
else in the RHEV environment I care about. I'm happy to settle with any of the
following, providing they can salvage the guest VMs:
a) Deleting and redeploying the hosted-engine.
b) Abandoning the hosted-engine and some how converting the guest VMs over to
VMware.
I don't have enough experience to know if any of the above is possible or the
repercussions of either of them. Any help from anyone would be very helpful.
I'm sorry to be a leach, rather than a contributor. I'm seriously in trouble
here and a kind heart would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Tim.
