Questions: 1) I have two important VMs that have snapshots that I need to boot up. Is their a means with an HCI configuration to manually start the VMs without oVirt engine being up?
2) Is their a means to debug what is going on with the engine failing to start to repair (I hate reloading as the only fix for systems) You can use "hosted-engine" to start the HostedEngine VM in paused mode . Then you can connect over spice/vnc and then unpause the VM. Booting
What it worked for me was: 1) Start a VM via "virsh" define a virsh alias: alias virsh='virsh -c qemu:///system?authfile=/etc/ovirt-hosted- engine/virsh_auth.conf' Check the host's vdsm.log ,where the VM was last started - you will find the VM's xml inside . Copy the whole xml and use virsh to define the VM "virsh define myVM.xml && virsh start myVM" 2) vdsm-client most probably can start VMs even when the engine is down the HostedEngine VM from DVD is a little bit harder. You will need to get the HE's xml and edit it to point to the DVD. Once you got the altered HE config , you can define and start.
3) Is their a means to re-deploy HCI setup wizard, but use the "engine" volume and so retain the VMs and templates? You are not expected to mix HostedEngine and other VMs on the same storage domain (gluster volume).
