Hi, This error just informs you that multiple hosts tried to start the engine VM and one of them lost the lock race. Nothing to worry about as long as the webadmin is up. https://ovirt.org/documentation/how-to/hosted-engine/#engineunexpectedlydown Best regards -- Martin Sivak oVirt / SLA On Mon, Nov 27, 2017 at 10:29 AM, Terry hey <recreationh@gmail.com> wrote:
