This is an easy fix and I believe we should backport it to 3.6. I am setting all the right flags to ask for that.
I'm still running with the agent that not being restarted because of SMTP server is not reachable as was blocked. I don't see original error messages and agent not being restarted by the broker, hence I'm closing this bug as verified. In broker's log I see these: Thread-116::ERROR::2016-08-29 19:41:30,220::notifications::39::ovirt_hosted_engine_ha.broker.notifications.Notifications::(send_email) timed out Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_ha/broker/notifications.py", line 26, in send_email timeout=float(cfg["smtp-timeout"])) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/smtplib.py", line 255, in __init__ (code, msg) = self.connect(host, port) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/smtplib.py", line 315, in connect self.sock = self._get_socket(host, port, self.timeout) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/smtplib.py", line 290, in _get_socket return socket.create_connection((host, port), timeout) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/socket.py", line 571, in create_connection raise err timeout: timed out Works for me on these components on host: Host: libvirt-client-1.2.17-13.el7_2.5.x86_64 vdsm-4.17.34-1.el7ev.noarch ovirt-vmconsole-1.0.4-1.el7ev.noarch qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-31.el7_2.21.x86_64 ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-1.3.7.3-1.el7ev.noarch sanlock-3.2.4-3.el7_2.x86_64 ovirt-setup-lib-1.0.1-1.el7ev.noarch rhevm-appliance-20160620.0-1.el7ev.noarch mom-0.5.5-1.el7ev.noarch rhevm-sdk-python-3.6.8.0-1.el7ev.noarch rhev-release-3.6.9-1-001.noarch ovirt-hosted-engine-ha-1.3.5.8-1.el7ev.noarch ovirt-vmconsole-host-1.0.4-1.el7ev.noarch ovirt-host-deploy-1.4.1-1.el7ev.noarch Linux version 3.10.0-327.36.1.el7.x86_64 (mockbuild.eng.bos.redhat.com) (gcc version 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-4) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Wed Aug 17 03:02:37 EDT 2016 Linux 3.10.0-327.36.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Aug 17 03:02:37 EDT 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.2 (Maipo) rhevm-appliance-20160620.0-1.el7ev.noarch Engine: ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-jdbc-1.0.7-2.el6ev.noarch ovirt-setup-lib-1.0.1-1.el6ev.noarch ovirt-vmconsole-1.0.4-1.el6ev.noarch rhevm-setup-plugin-ovirt-engine-3.6.9-0.1.el6.noarch ovirt-vmconsole-proxy-1.0.4-1.el6ev.noarch rhevm-setup-plugin-ovirt-engine-common-3.6.9-0.1.el6.noarch ovirt-host-deploy-1.4.1-1.el6ev.noarch ovirt-host-deploy-java-1.4.1-1.el6ev.noarch rhevm-image-uploader-3.6.1-2.el6ev.noarch rhevm-webadmin-portal-3.6.9-0.1.el6.noarch rhevm-spice-client-x64-cab-3.6-7.el6.noarch rhevm-setup-plugins-3.6.5-1.el6ev.noarch rhevm-setup-base-3.6.9-0.1.el6.noarch rhevm-setup-3.6.9-0.1.el6.noarch rhevm-tools-backup-3.6.9-0.1.el6.noarch rhevm-branding-rhev-3.6.0-10.el6ev.noarch rhevm-setup-plugin-ovirt-engine-3.6.9-0.1.el6.noarch rhevm-tools-3.6.9-0.1.el6.noarch rhevm-restapi-3.6.9-0.1.el6.noarch rhevm-spice-client-x86-cab-3.6-7.el6.noarch rhevm-guest-agent-common-1.0.11-6.el6ev.noarch rhevm-sdk-python-3.6.9.0-2.el6ev.noarch rhevm-setup-plugin-vmconsole-proxy-helper-3.6.9-0.1.el6.noarch rhevm-vmconsole-proxy-helper-3.6.9-0.1.el6.noarch rhevm-backend-3.6.9-0.1.el6.noarch rhevm-3.6.9-0.1.el6.noarch rhevm-log-collector-3.6.1-1.el6ev.noarch rhevm-spice-client-x86-msi-3.6-7.el6.noarch rhev-release-3.6.9-1-001.noarch rhevm-lib-3.6.9-0.1.el6.noarch rhevm-setup-plugin-ovirt-engine-common-3.6.9-0.1.el6.noarch rhevm-cli-3.6.9.0-1.el6ev.noarch rhevm-extensions-api-impl-3.6.9-0.1.el6.noarch rhevm-websocket-proxy-3.6.9-0.1.el6.noarch rhevm-doc-3.6.8-1.el6eng.noarch rhevm-userportal-3.6.9-0.1.el6.noarch rhevm-setup-plugin-websocket-proxy-3.6.9-0.1.el6.noarch rhevm-dependencies-3.6.1-1.el6ev.noarch rhev-guest-tools-iso-3.6-6.el6ev.noarch rhevm-dbscripts-3.6.9-0.1.el6.noarch rhevm-spice-client-x64-msi-3.6-7.el6.noarch rhevm-iso-uploader-3.6.0-1.el6ev.noarch Linux version 2.6.32-642.el6.x86_64 (mockbuild.eng.bos.redhat.com) (gcc version 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-17) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Wed Apr 13 00:51:26 EDT 2016 Linux 2.6.32-642.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Apr 13 00:51:26 EDT 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.8 (Santiago) I've deployed clean hosted engine over iSCSI storage domain from appliance, then upgraded the appliance's components to latest bits.
