Re: [ovirt-users] Fresh install failing (Hosted Engine)

I want to extend my lab and am trying an install using the hosted engine, but the install is failing for me: References used for install: https://glennsnead.wordpress.com/2016/02/28/ovirt-3-6-installation/ http://community.redhat.com/blog/2014/10/up-and-running-with-ovirt-3-5/ Setup: Minimal install of CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core) Using DHCP with static address (tried without DHCP with same issue) yum upgrade Installed packages: yum localinstall -y http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release36.rpm yum install -y ovirt-hosted-engine-setup screen glusterfs-server nfs-utils vdsm-gluster system-storage-manager mailx rebooted Tried hosted-engine --deploy, but it errors out. I followed various logs and I _think_ it's failing related to vdsm-tool restore-nets. I could use some guidance on this to help track down what's happening and how to fix. (Note: I'd very much prefer using the hosted engine vs. another option for my lab, so I'm willing to put in the time to figure this out. Thanks for any assistance!)
