Hello, I’ve an strange issue with oVirt 4.4.1

The hosted engine is stuck in the UEFI firmware trying to “never” boot.

I think this happened when I changed the default VM mode for the cluster inside the datacenter.

If you think this indeed is the root cause, then perhaps:

I double checked. By default the Hosted Engine does not set’s the BIOS type, it inherited from the Cluster:

I tried to manually set it up, but edits on Hosted Engine are locked.

So may the default HE template should set this to avoid this mess?

There’s a way to fix this without redeploying the engine?

If you happen to have backup copies of
/var/run/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/vm.conf , you can try:

hosted-engine --vm-start --vm-conf=somefile

If this works, update the VM/cluster/whatever back to a good state
from the engine (after it's up), and wait to make sure it updated
vm.conf on /var before you try to shutdown/start the engine vm again.

I ended up redeploying from the ground and reimporting back the VMs. I even tested again to confirm my first assumptions.

So I think we may have a bug right?

Thank you.

Best regards,
