Hypervisor is a CentOS 7.2 VM inside Qemu/KVM in virt-manager (under my laptop that is Fedora 23). So it is a nested virtualization environment. Some NOTES 1) appliance I see that the appliance rpm pulled in was ovirt-engine-appliance-3.6-20151216.1.el7.centos.noarch I presumed it was not populated with correct rpms. So in "hosted-engine --deploy" setup I used the appliance, but answered Automatically execute engine-setup on the engine appliance on first boot (Yes, No)[Yes]? No I then connect to the appliance OS and configure 3.6-pre repo and run yum update Strange that this pulled in the package ovirt-release36-003-1.noarch and so the repo file was overwritten and was again 3.6 only and not 3.6-pre. I re-modified /etc/yum.repos.d/ovirt-3.6.repo re-adding the pre. and finally engine-setup and successfully completed the final part on host. 2) localtime on Engine was not asked but was set to UTC. So [root@shengine ~]# ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Rome /etc/localtime shutdown engine OS and after some minutes the VM came back online. 3) As this is a nested environment with NFS domain provided by the only host itself, In /usr/lib/systemd/system/ovirt-ha-broker.service Agdded in section [Unit] After=nfs-server.service So that I can manage shutdown/restart of host for complete maintenance operations 4) After adding first data domain, the hosted_storage storage domain came up automatically without any problem. Able to see engine vm in web admin portal and its disk and access its console (used vnc) Also able to add ISO Domain. (both data and iso are NFS on the host itself) 5) The only "problem" (?) I see is this message that I don't understand.
