Error when trying to add another HostedEngine host

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • When trying to add another host to a HostedEngine (RHEV) environment, we see the following error:
[ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Setup validation': Metadata version 2 from host 25 too new for this agent (highest compatible version: 1)
  • On the functioning host, we also see a similar error when trying to call the 'status' command, ie:
[root@rhevh01 ~]# hosted-engine --vm-status
Traceback (most recent call last):
