[ovirt-users] Re: Certificates expired...
Now the engine won't start at all and I'm afraid I'm one
power outage
away from complete disaster. I need to keep the old location up and
functioning for another 4-6 months, so any insights would be greatly
appreciated.
Hi,
'engine won't start at all' can mean two things:
1) OS can't boot and thus you can't do SSH. Assuming that we are talking
self-hosted engine, then you need to use command like below on host that runs ovengine VM
(virsh -c qemu:///system?authfile=/etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/virsh_auth.conf list and
hosted-engine --vm-status might be helpful, VM should at least start to boot in order for
you to achieve connectivity via console):
hosted-engine --add-console-password --password=somepassword
and then connect via VNC to IP that you will see in output and password that you used
2) ovirt-engine service can't start
In that case it is likely that you will find reason of that in
journalctl -u ovirt-engine --no-pager
(/var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log)
BR,
Konstantin
