Re: [ovirt-users] How to deploy hosted-engine to the second and later host machines

I notice that I forget to add "users <users(a)ovirt.org&gt;&quot; 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.

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".
