Cannot remember why. </div><div>In Ovirt engine UI I removed host02. </div><div>I reinstalled host02 with Centos7, tried to add it and Ovirt UI told me it was already there (but it wasn't listed in the UI). </div><div>Renamed the reinstalled host02 to host03, changed the ipaddress, reconfig the DNS server and added host03 into the Ovirt Engine UI. </div><div>All good, and I was able to import more VMs to it. </div><div>I was also able to shutdown a VM on host01 assign it to host03 and start the VM. Cool, everything working. </div><div>The above was all last couple of weeks. </div><div><br /></div><div>This week I performed some yum updates on the Engine VM. No reboot. </div><div>Today noticed that the Ovirt services in the Engine VM were in a endless restart loop. They would be up for a 5 minutes and then die. </div><div>Looking into /var/log/ovirt-engine/eng<wbr>ine.log and I could only see errors relating to host02. Ovirt was trying to find it and failing.
