It must have already been attached, because otherwise the engine vm would
not be up. So it might be some inconsistency between the engine and host.


I think that Gianluca is referring to the hosted-engine storage domain.
On 3.6.0 that storage domain is not attached to any storage pool but HA agent is still able to start the engine VM as expected.
With 3.6.1 the engine, when up, will auto-import the hosted-engine storage domain attaching it to its datacenter storage pool but it will do that if and only if the datacenter is up but a datacenter to be requires at least one valid ad active storage domain so the import process is not triggered if you don't have any valid storage domain. It's not really an issue cause in real world you have at least one storage domain in your datacenter and so it's perfectly fine to postpone till that.

Still seeing the hosted-engine storage domain in maintenance after the import is instead a real issue:

Can you check/post ha logs (/var/log/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha)?

No idea, Martin?

hosted-engine --vm-status

Are you sure the engine even manages to speak to the host?
Please check/post also engine and vdsm logs.

Adding Oved.
