The set-shared-config does not allow editing of the vm.conf or the ovf.

The original vm.conf that the hosted engine vm was started with contains the correct network, so it must have been removed at a later stage.

To get a working environment I don't see another option then fixing the network in the db.
What do the following queries return:
  1. select vm_interface.vm_guid, vnic_profile_id from vm_interface, vm_static where vm_name='HostedEngine';
  2. select id from vnic_profiles where name='ovirtmgmt';
The vnic profile id that is returned from the first query should be the same as the one that has the ovirtmgmt name in the second query.

Thanks,
Jenny

I do not think I understand the question.

Migration from standalone to hosted-engine does not involve a nic
in an ovf, AFAIU.

To get/set stuff on the shared storage, hosted-engine has options
'--{get,set}-shared-config', see also:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1301681

For the engine vm.conf, indeed it's updated from data in the engine
db, but I do not know well the details. Adding Simone.
