When I was running RMQ on VMs, it would lock up and we would have to restart it on all 3 VMs. If that didn't work, we had a "cold start" procedure where we would stop all 3, delete the contents of /var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia/ and then run some commands to set the correct config and permissions before starting.

Hi Albert. You shouldn't ever need to exec into containers to restart
services - restart the containers. Kolla Ansible has some
orchestration in place to avoid restarting all nodes at once. However,
the deploy command won't restart containers unless something has
changed. For a cold start, you would need to stop the containers (you
could use kolla-ansible stop --tags rabbitmq), then run a deploy
again. Note that state in Kolla is stored in Docker volumes, which get
bind mounted into containers.
