Issue

  • After updating RHEV-M to a newer version, when I try to add a new host I get the following error message and the host is not added:
Host hostname installation failed. Please refer to /var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log and log logs under /var/log/ovirt-engine/host-deploy/ for further details.
  • File /var/log/ovirt-engine/host-deploy/ovirt-host-deploy-YYYYMMDDHHMMSS-xxxxxx.log shows the following error:
