for the cluster type in the mean time I was able to change it to "Intel Cascadelake Server Family" from web admin gui and now I have to try these steps and see if engine starts automatically without manual operations

1) set global maintenance

2) shutdown engine

3) exit maintenance

4) see if the engine vm starts without the cpu flag....

I confirm that point 4) was successful and engine vm was able to autostart, after changing cluster type.

I'm also able to connect to its console from web admin gui

The command line generated now is:

Only aftermath is that in web admin gui I still see the temporary engine marked as "external-HostedEngineLocal" and I'm quite afraid of deleting it and having some effects on real engine one...
