What it worked for me was: 1) Start a VM via "virsh" define a virsh alias: alias virsh='virsh -c qemu:///system?authfile=/etc/ovirt-hosted- engine/virsh_auth.conf' Check the host's vdsm.log ,where the VM was last started - you will find the VM's xml inside . Copy the whole xml and use virsh to define the VM "virsh define myVM.xml && virsh start myVM"

2) vdsm-client most probably can start VMs even when the engine is down > 2) Is their a means to debug what is going on with the engine failing > to start to repair (I hate reloading as the only fix for systems) You can use "hosted-engine" to start the HostedEngine VM in paused mode . Then you can connect over spice/vnc and then unpause the VM. Booting the HostedEngine VM from DVD is a little bit harder. You will need to get the HE's xml and edit it to point to the DVD. Once you got the altered HE config , you can define and start. > 3) Is their a means to re-deploy HCI setup wizard, but use the > "engine" volume and so retain the VMs and templates? You are not expected to mix HostedEngine and other VMs on the same storage domain (gluster volume).
