Of course=2C afterwards ovirt-engine wouldn't= start anymore=2C but I had my VM's running on the two hosts and I thought = I'd wait it out until 3.3 is released. Today my email server VM crashed and I cannot start it manually (tried vari= ations of the qemu-kvm command line=2C created tap devices=2C tried a few = other things without success). After a while=2C I bit the bullet and enabled the oVirt 3.3 repo=2C and did= engine-upgrade. This seem to have worked fine except for a missing link fo= r Java which I fixed=2C so now I can access the web admin portal. I can see= the hosts and VM's that are running or stopped but I cannot start any VM= =2C error message is: qemu-kvm: -drive file... Permissions denied I checked the path and everything is accessible on the host. Since I didn't have any other critical VM's on one of the host I made possi= bly the second mistake: downloaded the oVirt node ISO and reinstalled from = scratch. First it wouldn't register due to a UUID collision (crappy motherb= oard manufacturers) but I was able to make it report a valid UUID and worke= d around that.
