Dear Didi
Even if you never heard about hosted-engine in previous versions and
4.1
was your first attempt? Any suggestions for improvement to make it easier
to find?
Sorry to late reply. I notice that I forget to add "users
<users(a)ovirt.org>"
as a destination.
The inquiry of the other day was about oVirt 4.0.
Yesterday I installed 4.1 for the first time.
I think that if I had been able to deploy self hosted engine not only when
reinstalling host
but also when adding new host, I could have noticed.
Or it may be useful to pop up the deployment method of self hosted engine
when adding new host is completed.

later host machines
To: Yedidyah Bar David <didi(a)redhat.com>
Dear Didi
e.g. that if the storage
domain is not empty, a message will be emitted saying something like:
"To add this host as an additional one to an existing hosted-engine HA
cluster, please use the engine web administration ui or the API/SDK".
It seems to be a very appropriate explanation when reading after
understanding,
but it may be better to ready specific steps.For example, this is one
example among many:
"In particular, when creating a new host from the engine web administration
ui,
please select "Deploy" on the self hosted engine tab."
Also, "hosted-engine --deploy --config-append=answers.conf" was an error
from cli,
but "hosted-engine --deploy" wasn't an error, so I almost created a new
hosted-engine
using "hosted-engine --deploy" to the second and later host machines.
From the above, It wil be better to warn also when running
"hosted-engine
--deploy".

Tatsuya

You might want to open one or more RFEs for some clarifications in the
interface - both command line and cockpit - e.g. that if the storage
domain is not empty, a message will be emitted saying something like:
"To add this host as an additional one to an existing hosted-engine HA
cluster, please use the engine web administration ui or the API/SDK".
Best,
