I think you are supposed to change such parameters from the engine ui, not
by directly manipulating the shared storage using [1]. But I didn't try this
myself, not sure if cpu type can be changed.

[1] http://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/sla/hosted-engine-edit-configuration-on-shared-storage/

In Engine VM System settings, advanced parameters, I currently have this config:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvQ29ickF2cWlMNUE/view?usp=sharing

I have to check if it is only one of the 2 parameters generating problems or only one.

Nevertheless, if I try to change Custom Emulated Machine I then get:

"

Error while executing action:

HostedEngine:

There was an attempt to change Hosted Engine VM values that are locked.

"

and the same if I try to change Custom CPU Type...

No idea about this, adding Michal.
