Hello,

we have upgrade one of our oVirt engines to 4.2.1 (from 4.1.9) and afterwards all nodes too. The cluster compatibility level has been set to 4.2.

Now we can't start a VM after it has been powered off. The only hint we found in engine.log is:

[...]

But this doesn't lead us to the root cause. I haven't found any matching bug tickets in release notes for upcoming 4.2.1. Can anyone help here?

What's the mac address of that VM?
You can find it in the UI or with:

select mac_addr from vm_interface where vm_guid in (select vm_guid from vm_static where vm_name='<vm_name>');

 

Kind regards
