Deploy via cockpit fails after copy local VM disk to shared storage, Exit HE maintenance mode, Check engine VM health. The HE VM does not start from shared storage with hosted-engine --vm-status returning down_unexpected. I've also tried with iSCSI, with similar results. I'm using CentOS 8.1 now, but also tried with Node 4.4 with same results. VDSM log attached. If any other logs are needed, please let me know and I'll add.

I've used the same NFS server to deploy 4.3 without issue, and I ran the nfs-check.py script to verify that the NFS share was correctly provisioned.
