Hi,

I've migrated our oVirt engine to hosted-engine located on a FC storage 
LUN, so far so good.
For some reason I'm not able to start the hosted-engine VM, after 
digging in the log files i could figured out the reason. The Network 
device was set to "None" as follow:
devices={nicModel:pv,macAddr:00:16:3e:3a:6b:60,linkActive:true,network:*None*,deviceId:56cb4d71-13ff-42a8-bb83-7faef99fd3ea,address:{slot:0x03,bus:0x00,domain:0x0000,type:pci,function:0x0},device:bridge,type:interface}

I've created a new config file 
/var/run/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/vm.conf.new and set the nic device to 
ovirtmgnt, the I could start the hosted-engine using :
hosted-engine --vm-start 
--vm-conf=var/run/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/vm.conf.new

The nic  device line in vm.conf.new looks like:
devices={nicModel:pv,macAddr:00:16:3e:3a:6b:60,linkActive:true,network:*ovirtmgmt*,deviceId:56cb4d71-13ff-42a8-bb83-7faef99fd3ea,address:{slot:0x03,bus:0x00,domain:0x0000,type:pci,function:0x0},device:bridge,type:interface}

I tried to find out a way to change this setting on vm.conf but it is 
constantly rewritten, even when using the webui is say's:
HostedEngine:

  * There was an attempt to change Hosted Engine VM values that are locked.

Is there a way to modify/correct the hosted-engine vm.conf file so it 
will stay and not be overwritten?

Thanks a lot for any hint/help

rgds,
arsène
