On the host did: hosted-engine --set-maintenance --mode=global hosted-engine --vm-shutdown Stopped all oVirt related services, cleared all oVirt related logs from /var/log/..., restarted the host, ran hosted-engine --set-maintenance --mode=none Watched /var/spool/mail/root to see the engine coming up. It went to starting but never came into the Up status. Set a password and used vncviewer to see the console, see attached screenschot.

hosted-engine --vm-poweroff, and tried again, same result hosted-engine --vm-start, works Let it startup and then shut it down after enabling maintenance mode. Copied, hopefully, all relevant logs and attached them. A sosreport is also available, size 12Mb. I can provide a download link if needed. Hopefully someone is able to spot what is going wrong.
