From my limited experience, the usual flow for most users is
deploying/upgrading a host and installing vdsm from the engine UI on the
hypervisor machine.
In case of manual installations by non-users, it is accustomed to run
"vdsm-tool configure --force" after step 3 and then reboot.
Having a host on which vdsm is not running by default renders it useless
for ovirt, unless it is explicitly set to be down from UI under particular
circumstances.

If I do e.g.:
1. Install CentOS
2. yum install ovirt-releaseSOMETHING
3. yum install vdsm
Then reboot the machine, vdsm starts, and for this, it does all kinds of
things to the system (such as configure various services using vdsm-tool
etc.). Are we sure we want/need this? Why would we want vdsm
configured/running at all at this stage, before being added to an engine?
In particular, if (especially during development) we have a bug in this
configuration process, and then fix it, it might not be enough to upgrade
vdsm - the tooling will then also have to fix the changes done by the buggy
previous version, or require a full machine reinstall.
Thanks and best regards,
