[ovirt-users] Unable to start engine, vm status "Paused"

Hello everyone, the engine switched to paused state after attempting to place a host into maintenance, specifically when i selected the option to stop the gluster service. Glusterfs is 3 bricks [root@ovirt10 glusterfs]# gluster v heal engine info Brick 10.64.7.10:/gluster_bricks/engine/engine Status: Connected Number of entries: 0 Brick 10.64.7.11:/gluster_bricks/engine/engine Status: Connected Number of entries: 0 Brick 10.64.7.12:/gluster_bricks/engine/engine Status: Connected Number of entries: 0 --== Host ovirt11 (id: 3) status ==-- Host ID : 3 Host timestamp : 34188104 Score : 3400 Engine status : {"vm": "up", "health": "bad", "detail": "Paused", "reason": "bad vm status"} Cluster is in global maintenance The ovirt node i attempted to place in maintenance had no vms running (ovirt21) attempting to restart the engine when gluster is not running on ovirt21 results in the following error: MainThread::WARNING::2025-07-01 13:05:25,988::storage_broker::100::ovirt_hosted_engine_ha.broker.storage_broker.StorageBroker::(__init__) Can't connect vdsm storage: path to storage domain 4d31ba9e-5167-4af8-bc2a-361cce9b8278 not found in /rhev/data-center/mnt/glusterSD If i restart glusterd, and ovirt-agent and ovirt-broker on the host i put into maintenance (ovirt21), then attempt to restart the engine vm, it starts up but then is paused shortly after when glusterd service is automatically stopped on ovirt node 21. It seems the engine is stuck trying to put that host into maintenance, as soon as the engine vm starts it's paused when glusterd is stopped on ovirt21. Is there a way to safely unmount the engine gluster volume from the empty host without affecting the rest of the cluster? and/or, is there a way to stop the engine from putting that host into maintenance? Thanks! Mario M
