I would try that with the other one. Some notes: 8. Check status. I think you'll see that both local and global maint are still set. Actually even if I'm on global maintenance and then I set local maintenance, it seems I "loose" the global maintenance state... I see this output, without the line with Global Maintenance and exclamation marks....: [root@ractor ~]# hosted-engine --vm-status /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_ha/lib/storage_backends.py:15: DeprecationWarning: vdscli uses xmlrpc. since ovirt 3.6 xmlrpc is deprecated, please use vdsm.jsonrpcvdscli import vdsm.vdscli --== Host 1 status ==-- Status up-to-date : False Hostname : ractor.mydomain Host ID : 1 Engine status : unknown stale-data Score : 0 stopped : False Local maintenance : True crc32 : d616dde1 Host timestamp : 3304360 Extra metadata (valid at timestamp): metadata_parse_version=1 metadata_feature_version=1 timestamp=3304360 (Mon Oct 3 22:27:07 2016) host-id=1 score=0 maintenance=True state=LocalMaintenance stopped=False [root@ractor ~]# I'm able to exit maintenance, connect to engine and start the other VMs. Now I have to try considering also the restart of the hypervisor host, due to new kernel package install.
