OK, so I think I've identified the issue. I found these lines in the engine.log file:
2022-10-20 17:27:36,785+11 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.hostdeploy.AddVdsCommand] (default task-1) [4a1c2931-f754-4020-8bf3-27455338ca6d] Failed to authenticate session with host 'ovirt_node_1.mynet.local': SSH authentication to 'root@ovirt_node_1.mynet.local' failed. Please verify provided credentials. Make sure key is authorized at host 2022-10-20 17:27:36,786+11 WARN [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.hostdeploy.AddVdsCommand] (default task-1) [4a1c2931-f754-4020-8bf3-27455338ca6d] Validation of action 'AddVds' failed for user admin@internal-authz. Reasons: VAR__ACTION__ADD,VAR__TYPE__HOST,$server ovirt_node_1.mynet.local,VDS_CANNOT_AUTHENTICATE_TO_SERVER 2022-10-20 17:27:36,822+11 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.api.restapi.resource.AbstractBackendResource] (default task-1) [] Operation Failed: [Cannot add Host. SSH authentication failed, verify authentication parameters are correct (Username/Password, public-key etc.) You may refer to the engine.log file for further details.] So my next set of questions: - I don't recall anywhere in the deployment script being asked to supply the root login credentials for ovirt_node_1.mynet.local (the host), so what have I missed? - I don't recall being asked to supply a ssh cert for logging into ovirt_node_1.mynet.local. The only ssh cert being asked about (and its marked as "Optional") is one to log into the deployed engine *after* it is deployed (Step 16 of "5.3. Deploying the self-hosted engine using the command line"). Am I missing something here? - In the Prerequisites section of 5.3 the doco mentions "The self-hosted engine setup script requires ssh public key access using 2048-bit RSA keys from the engine virtual machine to the root account of its bare metal host." and then talks about having various settings set in the host's sshd_config file. In the host's authoized_keys file there is an RSA key (not placed by me) which I assume the deployment script placed there. Again, what am I not understanding about this? I've checked the host's sshd_config file and all of the requirements listed in section 5.3 of the doco are there (the PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes is being picked up from the system-wide crypto policy, which are set to DEFAULT, which meets the specified 2048-bit RSA keys). I've included all the logs with the string "ERROR" in this DropBox folder, along with a couple of other relevant(?) files: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/eymwdy8hzn3sa7z/AACscSP2eaFfoiN-QzyeEVfaa?dl=0 Could someone please be kind enough to point out where things are going wrong?
