Hi,

Hi Simone,

I'd suggest to # set global maintenance mode hosted-engine --set-maintenance --mode=global # shutdown the engine VM hosted-engine --vm-shutdown # start the engine VM in paused mode with: hosted-engine --vm-start-paused # set VNC password hosted-engine --add-console-password # connect to the VM via VNC # resume HE VM /usr/bin/virsh -c qemu:///system?authfile=/etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/virsh_auth.conf resume HostedEngine # quick go back to grub menu on the engine VM and follow this: https://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/ResetRootPassword

Thank you, this worked great with the caveat that in centos 7 the boot paramters "rd.break enforcing=0" need to be directly after the kernel, not at the end of the "linux/linux16/linuxefi" line. Our hosted engine is now up to date. GRTNX, RobJE

Hello list,

I'm trying to update our ovirt self-hosted engine to the latest version using the docs at https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade-guide/chap-Updates_betw een_ Minor_Releases/#updating-the-ovirt-self-hosted-engine-and- underlying- virtualization-hosts <https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade-guide/chap-Updates_bet ween_Minor_Releases/#updating-the-ovirt-self-hosted-engine-and- underlying-virtualization-hosts>

For this I need to logon to the engine VM, but none of the passwords we used seems to work. I can not seem to find information on how te reset passwords of the hosted engine, so I'm stuck.

Am I doing something wrong or is access to the self-hosted engine required. When access is required, is there a way to reset the password?
