Thanks in advance.
Hi phunyguy, You can try connecting to the engine VM's console with 'hosted-engine --console' to see its current status. If indeed its network configuration is broken, you can try something like: 1. Move to global maintenance 2. Keep a copy of its current configuration - should be in /var/run/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/vm.conf 3. Shutdown the engine vm 4. Edit your conf copy and fix the network issue. If you have older backups (engine-backup), you might want to check the engine db dump inside them - I see that we have a table vm_ovf_generations that might include this information (I do not know it, just searched the dump for 'HostedEngine' and 'xml'). 5. Start the VM with 'hosted-engine --vm-start --vm-conf=file' 6. If all looks ok, edit the engine vm from the web admin ui and fix the bug there as well 7. Make sure your saved conf is propagated to the shared storage and local copies in /var 8. Stop global maintenance 9. Test - shutdown engine vm, try to start it I think you should be able to find details for specific steps in existing docs, this list's archive, elsewhere on the net, etc. Good luck, -- Didi _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/7STEPMM6OO5GEQWTF2F3WP6W5KXFGSGB/
