[ovirt-users] unable to get hosted-engine to start

[Francois Brochu]

Thanks in advance for your enlightenment

- somehow i may have missed a step when I try to backup - and that's when
it stopped working

the current situation is  ALL my VM are up and running EXCEPT hostedengine

   - oVirt is running on a single node
      - ovirt-release40-4.0.4-1.noarch
      - Centos 7.2

hosted-engine --vm-start

   - did not generate error message at the console
   - log were complaining of lock and out of space  (but now it's gone)
   - got rid off VM DOWN
   - got rid of sanlock without a process ID

vdsClient does not show HostedEngine as UP (use to show DOWN - but I used
poweroff)

root at vmhost2 ~]# vdsClient -s 0 list table

[root at vmhost2 ~]# sanlock client status  (used to show "s

--reinitialize-lockspace [--force] )

AND when  I look inside at my backup db is empty
[root at vmhost2 ~]# tar -tvf /backup/oVirt.20161012/ovirtBackup
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2016-10-11 14:52 ./
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2016-10-11 14:52 ./db/

-rw-r--r-- root/root       168 2016-10-11 14:52 ./md5sum

I also try
hosted-engine --vm-start
--vm-conf=/etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf

all I get is a console message "Unexpected exception" cannot find anything
else

​What can I do to get the hosted-engine started? - and not loose any of my
currently running VM ​
