12:55 p.m.
I was able to fix the connectivity issues between all 3 hosts.
It turned out that I hadn't completely deleted the old vlan settings from the host. I
re-ran "nmcli connection delete" on the old vlan. After that, I had to edit a
network-scripts file and change/fix the bridge to use ifcfg-ovirtmgmt. After I did all
that, the problematic host was accessible again. All 3 Gluster peers are now able to see
each other and communicate over the management network.
From the command line, I was then able to successfully run "hosted-engine
--connect-storage" without errors. I was also able to then run "hosted-engine
--vm-start".
Unfortunately, the engine itself is still unstable, and when I access the web UI / oVirt
Manager, it shows that all 3 hosts are inaccessible and down.
I don't understand how the web UI is operational at all if the engine thinks that all
3 hosts are inaccessible. What's going on there?
Although the initial problem was my own doing (I changed the management vlan), I'm
deeply concerned with how unstable everything became - and has continued to be- ever since
I lost connectivity to the 1 host. I thought the point of all of this was that things
would (should) continue to work if 1 of the hosts went away.
Anyway, at that point, all 3 hosts are able to communicate with each other over the
management network, but the engine still thinks that all 3 hosts are down, and is unable
to manage anything.
Any suggestions on how to proceed would be much appreciated.

I still haven't been able to resurrect the 1st host, so I've
spent some time trying to get the hosted engine stable. I would welcome input on how to
fix the problematic host so that it can be accessible again.
As per my original email, this all started when I tried to change the
management vlan. I honestly cannot remember what I did (if anything) to the actual hosts
when this all started, but my troubleshooting steps today have been to try to fiddle with
the vlan settings and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ files on the problematic host to
switch from the original vlan (1) to the new vlan (10).
Until then, I'm troubleshooting why the hosted engine isn't
really working, since the other two hosts are operational.
The hosted engine is "running" -- I can access and navigate
around the oVirt Manager.
However, it appears that all of the storage domains are down, and all of the hosts are
"NonOperational". I was, however, able to put two of the hosts into Maintenance
Mode, including the problematic 1st host.
This is what I see on the 2nd host:
