After reading a previous post, and having after about 30 minutes only 114 as entropy in hosted engine vm, I made this in engine VM:

yum install haveged systemctl enable haveged put host in global maintenance shutdown engine VM exit from maintenance engine VM starts and immediately I have: [root@ovirt ~]# uptime 19:05:10 up 0 min, 1 user, load average: 0.68, 0.20, 0.07 [root@ovirt ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail 1369 And login in web admin page now almost immediate.... Inside the thread I read: http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2016-April/038805.html it wasn't clear if I can edit the engine VM in webadmin (or other mean) and enable the random generator option or if the haveged way is the one to go with in case of self hosted engine.... Is there a list of what I can change (if any) and what not for the engine VM? For example I would like to change the time zone that is GMT now (I think inherited from the OVF of the appliance?)
