How to add RAM to Hosted Engine
--_000_a557d822d9e94ddd9bc6df7847826c45vwc2pmaiap01ihsinternal_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi There...new oVirt user. After a bit of a learning curve, I have things = set up pretty well. The web console in the hosted engine is running slow, = and it's spiking memory to 98% frequently, but I only have 4096MB of RAM al= located. Currently running oVirt 3.6.
From the web interface, it doesn't seem possible to add memory to the hoste= d engine VM. I can add it via the Edit menu, but then it complains that "T= his VM is not managed by the engine".
I see that some people have said to edit /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/vm.con= f but this file does not exist. Then I saw someone say that the file is n= ow located in /var/run/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/vm.conf I do see this here, = but I can't update the file. Each time I go to update it, it reverts back = to the previous config. I shut down the VM then tried to edit it, same thing. I put the system in = global maintenance mode, shut down the vm, then tried to edit it, same thin= g. Getting frustrated over what should be a simple task, with nearly no docume= ntation available. Thanks for any help you can provide.

If the auto-import of the hosted-engine storage domain successfully completes, the engine will generate there the OVF_STORE volume which will contain just the engine VM description. ovirt-ha-agent is already able to parse the content of the OVF_STORE and restart the engine VM with that configuration on the next attempt. The desiderata is to be able to edit the engine VM from the engine having it correctly managing the description in the OVF_STORE as for usual VM but we are still not ready for that. So in the mean time we are thinking about a simple tool to let the user edit/override the OVF_STORE for the engine VM: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1309572
