For 3.6.1 (it should be in 3.6.0 but it's bugged) you will be able to edit
some parameter of the engine VM from the engine (than of course you need to
reboot to make them effective).
I'm not sure if it's worth to make the setup more complex or if it's better
to keep it simple (single nic, single disk) and then let you edit the VM
only from the engine as for other VMs.
