In this way the user will always get a working setup, with the relevant information. ie- something like:
Current engine settings does not support your vdsm version please select how you wish to proceed: (1) Manually upgrade vdsm (2) Lower cluster compatibility to support your installed vdsm (3) Abort Option (2) should do a simple db update to make sure the user has a running setup.
