Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • RHV: Hosted Engine VM is Up but reported as down and other hosts continuously try to start it.
  • engine.log reports: VM HostedEngine is down with error. Exit message: resource busy: Failed to acquire lock: Lease is held by another host.
  • HE host reported as non-responsive in the manager, while HEVM is available.
  • Hosts lost connectivity to the engine.
  • Looks like older issue: RHV: Hosted Engine VM is Up but a host continuously tries to start it is not resolved .
  • Sometimes that silver crown doesn't show up in RHVM for SHE-eligible hosts when it should.
