And in this case, by "hang" I mean that I lose the connection to the server. I have no idea if the process finishes or errors out. Can you share logs at this point? Including /var/log/vdsm/* and /var/log/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/* . If you have KVM access, you might manage to get them. Or copy after a reboot. Also please share your network configuration. Are you using NetworkManager (IIRC unsupported currently)? DHCP? Static IP conf?
