Yes,
you have to set global maintenance mode to avoid VM start attempts on
other hosts.

You have to poweroff the engine VM with:
 hosted-engine --vm-shutdown/--vm-poweroff (probably the second one in
your case)
Then you have to create a copy of
/var/run/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/vm.conf and you have to manually edit
it in order to attach the ISO image and change the boot order.
At that point you can start the engine VM with your custom configuration with:
 hosted-engine --vm-start --vm-conf=my_custom_vm.conf

Good luck!
