Try with 'hosted-engine --vm-conf' options.
Is it just a guess or did you try and worked with this parameter?
[root@novirt2 ovirt-hosted-engine]# hosted-engine --vm-start --help
Usage: /sbin/hosted-engine --vm-start
Start the engine VM on this host.
Available only after deployment has completed.
--vm-conf=<file>
Load an alternative vm.conf file as a recovery action.
[root@novirt2 ovirt-hosted-engine]#
But hwo to give my vm.conf?
Eg if I untar the vm.conf on shared storage
# tar -C /tmp/q -xvf 2e0f414c-2589-4545-a0a4-3bfed24ef3fc
and then modify vm.conf removing the +tsx-ctrl
# hosted-engine --vm-start --vm-conf=/tmp/q/vm.conf
VM exists and is Down, cleaning up and restarting
