Redhat – No High Availability on oVirt Self-Hosted Engine Cluster

clusterhigh-availabilityovirtredhat

I'm trying out oVirt's cluster HA for virtual machines (specifically Red Hat Virtualization 4.0, but I'm not having any luck getting the Manager VM to be highly available. The steps I took are essentially:

  1. Set up node1 and run hosted-engine script with iscsi storage.
  2. Set up node2 and continue hosted-engine script with same iscsi path.
  3. Add cluster/master storage to Manager VM and have the datacenter running.

I've followed the documentation provided by Red Hat which says HA should be enabled at this point. The problem is that when I go to the Manager VM settings through its web portal, it states "VM cannot be set highly available when hosted engine is used".

What am I missing?

AFAIK hosted engine is made HA out of the box, so you can't do anything about it from the UI itself. The UI settings are for regular VMs
