OK, after all the t’shooting I could think to do, out of desperation I put the engine VM in maint mode, then rebooted the host. When it came up, I can now SSH into it normally (no long delay now.) I saw two state email changes come in after the reboot: - StartState-ReinitializeFSM - ReinitializeFSM-LocalMaintenance But the engine VM never started… Do I have to do something at the host (issue a command) to get the engine VM to start? (Sorry if I’m ignorant, an oVirt noob here…) -Will On Dec 19, 2015, at 9:38 PM, Will Dennis <wdennis@nec-labs.com<mailto:wdennis@nec-labs.com>> wrote: Hi Joop, I thought about that, but DNS resolution seems to be fine… [root@ovirt-node-01 ~]# time dig ovirt-node-02.nec-labs.com<http://ovirt-node-02.nec-labs.com> ; <<>> DiG 9.9.4-RedHat-9.9.4-29.el7_2.1 <<>> ovirt-node-02.nec-labs.com<http://ovirt-node-02.nec-labs.com> ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 4574 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: ; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 4000 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;ovirt-node-02.nec-labs.com<http://ovirt-node-02.nec-labs.com>.
