[ovirt-users] Ovirt 3.6.1 unable to manually start hosted engine vm

[Stefano Danzi]

Hi !
After upgrade from ovirt 3.5 to 3.6 I'm not able to manually start 
hosted-engine vm using "hosted-engine --vm-start"

I have only one host.
I put engine in global maintenance mode, I shutdown all VM and hosted 
engine VM.
I reboot the host and run "hosted-engine --vm-start", but the VM never 
start (I waited for 10 minutes).
When I run " hosted-engine --set-maintenance --mode=none" engine VM 
start immediately.

[root at ovirt01 ~]#  hosted-engine --vm-start
