Bug 1763766

The engine is up and reachable with this URL:
https://<host>:6900/ovirt-engine

The hosted engine section tells me:
This system is already registered to <engine-host>!

But CLI does not agree:

# hosted-engine --vm-status
It seems like a previous attempt to deploy hosted-engine failed or it's still in progress. Please clean it up before trying again

# hosted-engine --check-deployed
The hosted engine has not been deployed

# hosted-engine --check-liveliness
Error reading the configuration file

Can you please attach sos report from the host and from the engine VM?

The host got in "status": "install_failed", but we need host-deploy logs to understand the root cause.

hosted engine log directory

I made a new try. Same result. This is the content of the log directory for hosted engine setup.

The issue is here:

it fails running a query over a yum repo.
Is the host offline at install time?

Yes. It's connected to an enterprise network and we did not set up an ovirt mirror for the moment.
We have a Red Hat mirror but it does not include rhev repository.

Is this yum query really required ? Does the host need to install additional packages or is it just a system update ?

It's still a (new) duplicate of this one:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1677246

list action on yum ansible module requires a connection to the repo even if all the packets are already there:

https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-metrics/blob/master/roles/oVirt.initial-validations/tasks/check_logging_collectors.yml#L30

Do you think it may help if I set up a local mirror on the node ?
Or is it useless in this case ?

Yes, it should work,
you can test it running 
  /usr/bin/repoquery --show-duplicates --quiet --qf "%{name}|%{epoch}|%{version}|%{release}|%{arch}|%{repoid}" rsyslog-elasticsearch

on that host and it shouldn't fail.

OK, I made it work using a mirror.

Sorry but it seems to be a new bug.
This bug is present in oVirt 4.3.6 !
