error message: how to troubleshoot

Migration failed (VM: HostedEngine, Source: ovirt-node1.livemigrate.com, Destination: ovirt-node2.livemigrate.com). Hi All, Trying to get my feet wet & learn more. What are the steps to troubleshooting an error message like this. Where do I go? What should I be looking for?

Good place to start is /var/log/vdsm/vdsm.log on the host where the vm was running, and on the host the vm was migrating to. Look for the UUID of the VM, you should be able to follow the migration process on both sides. When you find more info you can add it here. Nir

Thank you. Let me go take a look, shouldn't be to hard to find since I only have the hosted engine vm running!

Use Notepad++ to view or is there a better tool?
I think "less" is a more appropriate tool for logs. Didi just published an interesting article about it: https://opensource.com/article/18/5/advanced-use-less-text-file-viewer There is also http://lnav.org/ which has builtin support for vdsm and engine logs. Nir
