Hi,

I've no idea how you managed to install Fedora 24 without configured journal (AFAIK it's enabled and configured on all Fedora by default for a long time). Please take a look at Fedora doc how to install and configure it properly.

Strange enough, I rebooted the box. And the command `journalctl -xe` works now.

​So could you please try again:

  export OVIRT_SERVICE_DEBUG=1
  systemctl import-environment OVIRT_SERVICE_DEBUG
  systemctl start ovirt-engine​
 

​And the take a look at journalctl output if there is some more information about the error?

Here is the traceback

Anyway one of my colleagues noticed that mentioned 1GB in subject. Is it your RAM size? If so then please raise it to 4 GB, which is an absolute minimum to run engine (low memory may be the issue why engine process haven't started up).

New to ovirt, I wanted to try out how the the ovirt engine manages the other node hosts. With that in mind, was the RAM thing an issue?

​Yes, you have even been warned during engine-setup that you have less than minimum recommended 4GB​
 
​RAM. So I can only recommend you to raise memory to 4GB if you have any issues ...
