Start VM-engine via cli - OL KVM Server host

user-gpub7May 6 2023 — edited May 6 2023

hi guys,

i build a test environment with OL KVM 8.7 and Virtualization Manager VM. Because of a strange virbr0-config and following fail of the "hosted-engine --deploy" setup I decided to manual install a OL 8 VM and install the ovirt-engine paket. This worked and I could connect to the VM Portal.

After connecting my test kvm host, some configuration changed for the libvirtd login. I forgot to activate something like an automatic start of the manager-engine-vm when I restart the host. So now its the question how can I start the vm from cli on the kvm host.

I tried it with virsh like recommended here: https://bobcares.com/blog/ovirt-start-vm-without-engine/

but now libvirtd ask for authentification and nothing of the password combination i have defined while engine setup works.

ansible dont work, because it want to authenticate against the engine vm.

"hosted-engine --vm-start" dont work because i havent installed vm-engine with selfhosted-deployment

How can i start the engine vm? thanks for help
