Hi, 'engine won't start at all' can mean two things: 1) OS can't boot and thus you can't do SSH. Assuming that we are talking self-hosted engine, then you need to use command like below on host that runs ovengine VM (virsh -c qemu:///system?authfile=/etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/virsh_auth.conf list and hosted-engine --vm-status might be helpful, VM should at least start to boot in order for you to achieve connectivity via console): hosted-engine --add-console-password --password=somepassword and then connect via VNC to IP that you will see in output and password that you used 2) ovirt-engine service can't start In that case it is likely that you will find reason of that in journalctl -u ovirt-engine --no-pager (/var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log) BR, Konstantin _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users(a)ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/PL4Q64G6IFU...

Sounds like the Host Certs need to be updated.. Or possibly even the Engine CA Cert. -derek On Fri, August 4, 2023 1:45 pm, Jason P.

Hi, I went through a similar ordeal half a year ago and forgot all the exact procedures already but for me, in the end after following all the guides and replacing the "standard" certs it was either engine.p12 or apache.p12 keystore that also had outdated certs (apparently mTLS is being used!). Updating these keystores is not documented anywhere. No idea if you are in the same situation but wanted to throw this out there. Best regards, cen On 4. 08. 23 20:12, Jason P.
