Ok, thanks for clarifying that Simone. I will read the guide more thoroughly.
Cheers,
Cam

OK, a bit of confusion here:
ovirt-hosted-engine-setup is going to create a VM for you based on
ovirt-engine-appliance (with the engine).
If you manually create a VM (L1) on your physical host (L0) to run
hosted-engine-setup there, hosted-engine-setup will create a VM (L2) for the
engine running inside the L1 VM and this requires nested virtualization
support which I think it's not enabled by default on oVirt hosts.
But the point is that you simply have to run ovirt-hosted-engine-setup on
your physical host and not on a VM otherwise all the HA mechanism of
hosted-engine will make no sense if nothing is bringing up your virtual
hosts for you.
hosted-engine-setup requires an host with no others running VMs so, if it's
already managed my an engine, move it to maintenance and remove it from your
cluster.
