Hi,

I'd suggest to

# set global maintenance mode

hosted-engine --set-maintenance --mode=global

# shutdown the engine VM

hosted-engine --vm-shutdown

# start the engine VM in paused mode with:
hosted-engine --vm-start-paused

# set VNC password

hosted-engine --add-console-password

# connect to the VM via VNC

# resume HE VM

/usr/bin/virsh -c qemu:///system?authfile=/etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/virsh_auth.conf resume HostedEngine

# quick go back to grub menu on the engine VM and follow this: https://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/ResetRootPassword

Hello list,

I'm trying to update our ovirt self-hosted engine to the latest version
using the docs at
https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade-guide/chap-Updates_between_
Minor_Releases/#updating-the-ovirt-self-hosted-engine-and-underlying-
virtualization-hosts

For this I need to logon to the engine VM, but none of the passwords we
used seems to work.
I can not seem to find information on how te reset passwords of the
hosted engine, so I'm stuck.

Am I doing something wrong or is access to the self-hosted engine
required. When access is required, is there a way to reset the
password?

THNX && GRTNX,
RobJE_______________________________________________
