[ovirt-users] hosted engine , how to make changes to the VM post deploy

[Alastair Neil]

Thanks Jirka

So is this the workflow?

set the hosted-engine maintenance to global
> shutdown the engine VM
> make changes via virsh or editing vm.conf
> sync changes to the other ha nodes
> restart the VM
> set hosted-engine maintenance to none



Also, the patch for the broker will be in 3.5.1?
