I stopped the VMs and then "hosted-engine --vm-shutdown" followed by "hosted-engine --vm-start", I thought that would restart everything, but apparently not.

Now I just did "systemctl status ovirt-ha-broker" and got this ugly thing:

Is the broker error causing the agent error or vice-versa ?

All I did a couple of weeks ago was reboot the host (after having shut down the VMs and stopped the engine).

The engine and VMs seem to be working fine.

Thanks for all of your help.

You need to restart ovirt-ha-broker.service and ovirt-ha-agent.service
