Re: [Users] Ovirt Engine single point of failure
Consider trying the new hosted engine feature
(http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Self_Hosted_Engine).
It runs the ovirt engine as a VM inside the engine, and also provides HA solution for it.

Alan,
IMHO this is not the scenario described in the original question - or maybe I
did not understand well the original question?
I assume the original question is about a scenario where engine restarts, and
not about a catastrophic failure as you describe here.
