So how to manually start engine VM if environment is in global maintenance and I have previously shutdown it? Should it be possible? For example one wants to check it from an OS point of view and not oVirt point of view, before exiting maintenance... Gianluca Gianluca you are right!!! ovirt 3.5 permit to start engine VM when cluster is in maintenance... I did it many times!!! From oVirt 3.6 it is no longer possible. VM remain in state "WaitingForLaunch" until cluster exit from maintenance.
