Hmm, strange. So the only other way is to enable debug logging for ovirt-engine service:

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


After that please take a look at journal, there should be detailed records about ovirt-engine service startup.

Thanks

No, only logs under /var/log/ovirt-engine are related to oVirt. As no boot/server/engine logs exists under this directory it seems, that even java process was not created properly. So could you please share error about ovirt-engine service startup? You should be able to find out some error in journal:

  systemctl status ovirt-engine.service
  journalctl -xe

Thanks

Should I share the file `/var/log/boot.log` on the mailing list?

Thanks,
