[ovirt-users] Management Engine Down

[Clint Boggio]

Stand Alone Engine Version 3.6.X
CentOS 7

I was preparing to upgrade from OME 3.6.2 to 4.0, when I followed the systems instructions to "migrate" to ovirt-engine-aaa-ldap authentication from the current authentication method. The management engine did fail to restart after the process with the following excerpt from "journalctl -xe" Any help or advice would be most appreciated.
