How ,without reboot of hosting system, do I restart the oVirt engine?
# I tried below but do not seem to effect the virtual machine [root@thor iso]# systemctl restart ov
Wrong system - this is most probably your KVM host , not the VM hosting the Engine. Usually the engine is defined during the initial setup.
# You cannot restart the VM " HostedEngine " as it responses:
Error while executing action:
HostedEngine: * Cannot restart VM. This VM is not managed by the engine. That's not being done from UI. Either ssh to the hosted engine and issue a 'reboot' and the ovirt-ha-agent on one of the hosts will bring it up, or use the 'hosted-engine' utility to shutdown and power up the VM.
About the engine not detecting a node up - check if the vdsm.service is running on the node. Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov
