<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I've migrated our oVirt engine to hosted-engine located on a FC
storage LUN, so far so good.<br>
For some reason I'm not able to start the hosted-engine VM, after
digging in the log files i could figured out the reason. The
Network device was set to "None" as follow:<br>
devices={nicModel:pv,macAddr:00:16:3e:3a:6b:60,linkActive:true,network:<b>None</b>,deviceId:56cb4d71-13ff-42a8-bb83-7faef99fd3ea,address:{slot:0x03,bus:0x00,domain:0x0000,type:pci,function:0x0},device:bridge,type:interface}</p>
<p>I've created a new config file
/var/run/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/vm.conf.new and set the nic device
to ovirtmgnt, the I could start the hosted-engine using :<br>
hosted-engine --vm-start
--vm-conf=var/run/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/vm.conf.new</p>
<p>The nic device line in vm.conf.new looks like:<br>
devices={nicModel:pv,macAddr:00:16:3e:3a:6b:60,linkActive:true,network:<b>ovirtmgmt</b>,deviceId:56cb4d71-13ff-42a8-bb83-7faef99fd3ea,address:{slot:0x03,bus:0x00,domain:0x0000,type:pci,function:0x0},device:bridge,type:interface}</p>
<p>I tried to find out a way to change this setting on vm.conf but
it is constantly rewritten, even when using the webui is say's:<br>

<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">There was an attempt to change
Hosted Engine VM values that are locked.</li>
</ul>
<p>Is there a way to modify/correct the hosted-engine vm.conf file
so it will stay and not be overwritten?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot for any hint/help</p>
