Okay, if it is a 3.6 then you should be able edit the hosted engine VM in the
UI itself. I haven't done any self hosted engine myself but there are some
things you can't edit, not sure if the rng is one of them. Anyway if you can
edit the hosted engine VM then open up the advanced options (bottom left
button in popup), then click the random generator side tab, and check the
random generator enabled button (if it is not checked already that is).
As far as I know that should be enought to have the random passed from the
host to the VM and that should improve the entropy on the host engine. You
might have to restarted the hosted engine VM for it to take effect.
If the above is not possible or doesn't work, I would go with yum install
haveged, then chkconfig haveged on, service haveged start or if it is centos 7
then its systemctl haveged enable and systemctl haveged start.

Entropy on host and engine still around 200 and it's taking a while to change pages but not as long as it did before so I may have to add haveged. I'll watch it and see.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>snipped below...</div></body></html>
