Troubleshooting: Unable to Create VM on the Target Host

Troubleshooting: Unable to Create VM on the Target Host

KB ID: 261000
Issue:
During Full VM recovery, the virtual machine creation failed.
Cause:
1. Duplicate VM name
2. Connection to oVirt engine failure
3. Authentication failure of oVirt Engine console credentials
Solution:
1. Unique VM Name: Always provide a unique name for the virtual machine to be created in the oVirt environment.
2. Check oVirt Engine Status: 
Ensure that the oVirt Engine status is good and that the engine is up.
Use the following command to check the engine status on the oVirt Engine (self-hosted) machine:
 hosted-engine --vm-status
     Example output:
     Host host1.india.domain.com (id: 1) status
     Host ID                            : 1
     Host timestamp              : 241871
     Score                                : 3400
     Engine status                   : {"vm": "up", "health": "good", "detail": "Up"}
     Hostname                         : example.india.domain.com
     Local maintenance           : False
     stopped                             : False
     crc32                                  : 099bd52f
     conf_on_shared_storage  : True
     local_conf_timestamp      : 241874
     Status up-to-date              : True
     Extra metadata (valid at timestamp):
             metadata_parse_version=1
             metadata_feature_version=1
             timestamp=241871 (Mon Jan 15 11:12:26 2024)
             host-id=1
             score=3400
             vm_conf_refresh_time=241874 (Mon Jan 15 11:12:28 2024)
             conf_on_shared_storage=True
             maintenance=False
             state=EngineUp
             stopped=False
3. Verify oVirt Engine Console Credentials: Make sure the provided oVirt Engine console credentials are correct and valid.
