<p>Did you try configuring the appliance with cloud-init?<br>
Can you please attach hosted-engine-setup logs?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>> I can go into the engine VM and edit the hostname, but if for any reason I need to poweroff the engine VM, I get in trouble. Because, then the hostname goes back to localhost.localdomain.localdomain and both DHCP & DNS within our enterprise/production
environment ends up assuming that for the hostname to IP address reference or record. And it seems that other linux systems (not the ones I administer; none of my almost 50 systems are effected. Of those, I have about 5 linux/UNIX based systems attached to
the production network) are going offline because of this.<br>
