oVirt upgrade to 4.1.7 will probably cleanup this stale task.<br>
However, if you want to do it before upgrading, run this command:<br>
<br>
PGPASSWORD=...<br>
/usr/share/ovirt-engine/setup/<wbr>dbutils/unlock_entity.sh -t all -u<br>
engine<br>
<br>
Note that unlock_entity.sh has many flags and this is just an<br>
example (should clean all stale tasks).<br>
<br>
You can find the PGPASSWORD value in the<br>
/etc/ovirt-engine/engine.conf.<wbr>d/10-setup-database.conf file. As of<br>
4.2 you won't need to supply credentials anymore [1].<br>

It seems it didn't work as expected.<br>
I got this at command line output<br>
<br>
"<br>
<br>
select fn_db_unlock_all();<br>
<br>
<br>
INSERT 0 1<br>
unlock all completed successfully.<br>

This is expected.<span class=""><br>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
But the task remains in webadmin gui and I got an alert message in<br>
alert section, of this type<br>

I've seen this behavior too. IIRC the stale cleaning was not instant, it took some time to be applied.<br>
