I know this is old/dated, but I recently came across a similar situation and was able to resolve it. Thought I'd share my steps in case it helps someone else.
In my environment, I had a 4 node cluster and the apache cert (and host certs) had expired. The hosted-engine cert was still valid. I had two hosts (node B and node D) that would not go into Global Maintenance as they could not connect to the HA-agent. Running engine-setup from within the hosted engine would error out that the cluster was not in Global Maintenance. I was able to tell Hosted Engine to forget about those two hosts. When you initiate "hosted-engine --vm-status" pay attention to the host ID of the hosts that aren't in Global Maintenance. To remove the hosts that were unable to receive up-to-date config (global maintenance) from the hosted-engine availability list, I executed the following from a host that IS showing Global Maintenance (node C): 'hosted-engine --clean-metadata --host-id=<host_id> --force-clean' eg: 'hosted-engine --clean-metadata --host-id=4 --force-clean' Now "hosted-engine --vm-status" will be consistent. However, in my case, this _still_ did not allow me to run engine-setup & continued to error out, saying that Global Maintenance was not set. Knowing that the remaining hosts were in fact in global maintenance, I issued: engine-setup --otopi-environment=OVESETUP_CONFIG/continueSetupOnHEVM=bool:True --offline This allowed the setup to execute properly and I was able to renew the certs and configure the hosts accordingly. The hosts that I had cleared the meta-data from previously, were automatically re-added once I exited global maintenance. This cluster was properly recovered while still serving guests. -Andrew _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/RK5WGPIUAHS6ASD4ISM5FOZJY4NIWQUT/
