I suppose this is an incorrect cleanup. Simone?
Nir can you have a look at above traceback? Gregor, can you please provide a sos report of the host?
(In reply to Michal Skrivanek from comment #1) > I suppose this is an incorrect cleanup. Simone? Yes, I think so.
In the meantime I followed this instruction which did not help: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/how-to/hosted-engine/#recoving-from-failed-install Is it save to upload the sosreport here? I read through this article: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3592
Because the server has to be finished and shipped to my customer I decided to reinstall the whole operating-system. This is a very bad solution but after 20 hours of try-and-error I have to find any solution. Thanks for your help.
