Ah ok, the VM I'm running hosted-engine --deploy on indeed doesn;t have the vmx flag.

( the previous result was from the physical host running the VM ).

I've had a quick look through the options, but can't see where I could enable vmx or change the settings for the VM itself..

The vmx cpu flag is present, is that what you mean ?

Yes, let me double check VDSM logs.


The issue is indeed here:

without vmx!

Trying to avoid rebooting the server if possible...

Your issue is probably here:

Can you please check if vmx is enabled in the bios of your host?
Otherwise vdsm/libvrit will refuse to start the VM.

Sorry, I was asking for hosted-engine-setup logs; you can find them under /var/log/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/

I'm having trouble deploying selfhosted engine following this guide http://www.ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/engine/migrate-to-hosted-engine/

It gets close to deploying the vm, but fails with

2016-09-13 19:46:04 ERROR otopi.plugins.gr_he_common.core.misc misc._terminate:180 Hosted Engine deployment failed: this system is not reliable, please check the issue,fix and redeploy

can you please attach the whole log to let us check where it's failing?
 

For storage I chose a random NFS share on a remote host that was empty, I did notice that something kept removing 'nameserver' entries from resolv.conf

vdsm log show issues connecting to the broker,

ovirt-hosted-engine-setup will enable and start the broker if and only if the deployment went fine; that errors at deploy time are harmless since the broker is really down.
