      <p>Hi,</p>
      <p>I've migrated our oVirt engine to hosted-engine located on a FC
        storage LUN, so far so good.<br>
        For some reason I'm not able to start the hosted-engine VM,
        after digging in the log files i could figured out the reason.
        The Network device was set to "None" as follow:<br>
devices={nicModel:pv,macAddr:00:16:3e:3a:6b:60,linkActive:true,network:<b>None</b>,deviceId:56cb4d71-13ff-42a8-bb83-7faef99fd3ea,address:{slot:0x03,bus:0x00,domain:0x0000,type:pci,function:0x0},device:bridge,type:interface}</p>
      <p>I've created a new config file
        /var/run/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/vm.conf.new and set the nic
        device to ovirtmgnt, the I could start the hosted-engine using :<br>
        hosted-engine --vm-start
        --vm-conf=var/run/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/vm.conf.new</p>
      <p>The nic  device line in vm.conf.new looks like:<br>
devices={nicModel:pv,macAddr:00:16:3e:3a:6b:60,linkActive:true,network:<b>ovirtmgmt</b>,deviceId:56cb4d71-13ff-42a8-bb83-7faef99fd3ea,address:{slot:0x03,bus:0x00,domain:0x0000,type:pci,function:0x0},device:bridge,type:interface}</p>
      <p>I tried to find out a way to change this setting on vm.conf but
        it is constantly rewritten, even when using the webui is say's:<br>
