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:
