Ok so it only took me ~10 hours to add a host, but I got there.
1. I had to use cmk to clean up previous attempts at primary storage etc for
now non-existent host. This was a bit confusing as I thought it was the cause
of issues (but it wasn't). Still, this can't be properly done from the web ui
because it lacks a whole raft of options - e.g. you can't put storagepool to
maintenance.
In my case I had to do:
```
enable storagemaintenance id=<old / orphaned storage id>
delete storagepool id=22594f15-9678-347e-9627-0f935db15e9f
```
Which finally allowed me to get rid of orphaned storage.
2. I uninstalled cloudstack-agent. Then cleaned up all config by finding and
deleting a whole bunch of stuff that gets left behind after uninstall (and I
was suspecting of causing havoc, but it really didn't). I used following (and
some good judgement) to find what to delete
```
find /usr/ -name "*libvirt*"
find /etc/ -name "*libvirt*"
find /var/ -name "*libvirt*"
find /usr/ -name "*cloudstack*"
find /etc/ -name "*cloudstack*"
find /var/ -name "*cloudstack*"
```
3. reboot, and then force installation of previous agent version that worked
for me on RHEL/Rocky 9.5:
`yum install cloudstack-agent-4.20.0.0-1`
4. Now I went back and followed Quick install guide KVM config section here
https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/latest/quickinstallationguide/qig.html#kvm-configuration
5. Now make sure nfs-server is running and set up correctly:
```
// verify /etc/exports as follows:
/exports/secondary *(rw,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)
/exports/primary *(rw,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)
// ensure correct ownership
chown nobody:nobody /exports/primary/
chown nobody:nobody /exports/secondary/
// nfs server check
systemctl enable --now nfs-server
exportfs -r
```
6. Start / enable agent
```
systemctl enable cloudstack-agent
systemctl start cloudstack-agent
```
7. Now I used CMK to create host:
`add host zoneid=<id> clusterid=<id> hypervisor=KVM username=root
password=<pass> podid=<podid> url=http://<new host ip>`
That took a little time, but succeeded.
I am now pretty sure the issue is with the new agent build 4.20.1.0-1
(whether or not it's down to the spurious ubuntu / paleo stuff it seems to be
doing on RHEL I can't tell).
