Storage HA for manager on DR environment

Hi, I'm reading this guide to provide Active-Active DR for my environment (2 sites): https://ovirt.org/documentation/disaster-recovery-guide/active_active_overvi... I have a sef-hosted environment with a storage domains per site with synchronous replication. I can put all my VM with a storage lease on the other storage site but i can't put the lease on the manager (the option is disable). How I configure the storage HA of my manager?. Regards,

You cannot create a VM lease for the hosted-engine VM because the hosted-engine VM is always already protected by a volume lease.
How I configure the storage HA of my manager?.
Did you read https://ovirt.org/documentation/disaster-recovery-guide/active_active_overvi... ?

Did you read https://ovirt.org/documentation/disaster-recovery-guide/active_active_ove... ? Yes, and it's only say "Configure all virtual machines that need to failover as highly available, and ensure that the virtual machine has a lease on the target storage domain." But the manager, It's configured for HA storage by default?. I have made a lab with 1 host and 2 storage domain replicated and, when I pull down the engine storage, It don't start up again.

HA mechanism for the engine VM is provided by ovirt-ha-agent service running on all the hosted-engine configured hosts (at least a couple on each site). The hosted-engine configured hosts communicate via a whiteboard wrote on the hosted-engine storage domain so, if the storage devices on the two sites are in sync (it requires latency < 7ms), all the hosted-engine host can also see the status on the other site and eventually take over. The volume lease is there to enforce, at storage level, that only one host at a time is able to run the engine VM (regardless of the site where is it since also the lock is in sync).

OK, but so, what is the meaning of "Configure all virtual machines that need to failover as highly available, and ensure that the virtual machine has a lease on the target storage domain." Is it assuming that the VMs are in otrher storage domain (no sync)?

You have to configure all the VMs as HA enabling a VM lease on that. The engine will take care to restart them. VM leases are also wrote to the relevant storage domain and so they are going to be in sync if you are correctly syncing the storage on the two sites.
