[ovirt-users] Re: oVirt Engine no longer Starting
Questions:
1) I have two important VMs that have snapshots that I need to boot
up. Is their a means with an HCI configuration to manually start the
VMs without oVirt engine being up?
What it worked for me was:
1) Start a VM via "virsh"
define a virsh alias:
alias virsh='virsh -c qemu:///system?authfile=/etc/ovirt-hosted-
engine/virsh_auth.conf'
Check the host's vdsm.log ,where the VM was last started - you will
find the VM's xml inside .
Copy the whole xml and use virsh to define the VM "virsh define
myVM.xml && virsh start myVM"
2) vdsm-client most probably can start VMs even when the engine is down
2) Is their a means to debug what is going on with the engine
failing
to start to repair (I hate reloading as the only fix for systems)
You can use
"hosted-engine" to start the HostedEngine VM in paused mode
. Then you can connect over spice/vnc and then unpause the VM. Booting
the HostedEngine VM from DVD is a little bit harder. You will need to
get the HE's xml and edit it to point to the DVD. Once you got the
altered HE config , you can define and start.
3) Is their a means to re-deploy HCI setup wizard, but use the
"engine" volume and so retain the VMs and templates?
You are not expected
to mix HostedEngine and other VMs on the same
storage domain (gluster volume).
