Description of problem: Webadmin does not show correct HE VM parameters, if it started with custom configuration file(see also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1309572) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhevm-3.6.5-0.1.el6.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set global maintenance mode: hosted-engine --set-maintenance --mode=global 2. poweroff engine VM if somehow up: hosted-engine --vm-poweroff 3. copy /var/run/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/vm.conf to /tmp/my-vm.conf somewhere as a template 4. edit memory parameter from 4Gb to 8Gb(memSize=8192) 5. restart engine VM with a custom vm.conf: hosted-engine --vm-start --vm-conf=/tmp/my-vm.conf Actual results: HE VM succeeds to start, but webadmin show that HE VM has only 4Gb Expected results: Webadmin must show correct HE VM parameters(in my case it must be equal to 8Gb) Additional info: if I enter to VM I see that VM has 8Gb of memory and also vdsClient show me that VM has 8Gb so looks like engine DB does not update according to new HE VM configuration.
You're scenario is a 'fallback' scenario and by design this will not reflect the changes in the DB. It's other way round, the db is represented in the OVF xml and that is converted to the vm.conf. If you changed that we can't do nothing with it.
So you can close it, as not a bug. I just thought that any changes on the HE VM must be reflected under the engine.
