Description Jiri Belka 2017-09-06 12:09:09 UTC 
Description of problem:

While migrating 3.5 SHE on EL6 to 3.5 SHE on EL7 (and then to 3.6 SHE env) and following https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2351141 my additional host ended in the same cluster as EL6 hosts - ie. it seems hosted-engine --deploy lost feature to ask for cluster name.

(Thus the upgrade process is buggy at step '3.' of detailed steps of the KB link above.)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ovirt-host-deploy-offline-1.3.0-3.el7ev.x86_64
ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-1.2.6.1-1.el7ev.noarch
ovirt-hosted-engine-ha-1.2.10-1.el7ev.noarch
ovirt-host-deploy-1.3.2-1.el7ev.noarch
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor release 7.2 (20160219.0.el7ev)

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. add EL7 as an additional node to 3.5 SHE env with EL6 hosts
2. hosted-engine --deploy
3. see if there is question for cluster name (you created new cluster for this EL7 node in advance)

Actual results:
no such question, the host ends in Default cluster as non-operational

Expected results:
there should be question for cluster name (according to the above KB)

What is the right env variable to resolve this problem?

(In reply to Yaniv Lavi (Dary) from comment #2)
> What is the right env variable to resolve this problem?

OVEHOSTED_ENGINE/clusterName

But we need to write that value in the answer-file we load from another host since it's also there and that one gets loaded after local initial answer-file overwriting it.
Comment 4 Nikolai Sednev 2017-09-18 13:04:07 UTC 
Just in case, I'd like to remind that there is a known workaround for this:

1-set none-responsive host in to maintenance in UI.
2-edit the host and set it to belong to desired host cluster.
3-activate the host and wait until it becomes active.
Comment 5 Yaniv Lavi 2017-10-18 08:52:28 UTC 
This will be fixed with using in cluster migration policy in bug #1503446.
