&gt;&gt; No idea about your specific issue or whether this can fix it, but you can<br>
&gt;&gt; try.<br>
&gt;&gt; Especially if you can test on a test env...<br>

&gt; And in fact the engine vm is now up again with the customized parameters<br>
&gt; How can I have it permanent? Frome where on shared storage are they read?<br>
<br>
</div></div>I think you are supposed to change such parameters from the engine ui, not<br>
by directly manipulating the shared storage using [1]. But I didn&#39;t try this<br>
myself, not sure if cpu type can be changed.<br>

&gt; Possibly the problems is generated by my nested environment:<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; L0 = ESXi 6.0 U2 on NUC6i5syh<br>
&gt; L1 are my oVirt hosts on this L0<br>
&gt; L2 is my engine VM that doesn&#39;t start in 4.1.3<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; it seems that<br>
&gt; cpuType=Broadwell and/or emulatedMachine=pc-i440fx-<wbr>rhel7.3.0<br>
&gt; generates problems....<br>
