--- FQDN or fully qualified domain name means that you have to reserve in your DNS a name corresponding to IP received by HE VM from DHCP. IP address should be reserved for the VM at DHCP. I advise not to use manual IP to FQDN at your host, as this will lead to many confusions, especially when you'll have more than a single host machine, but you always can configure at your /etc/hosts file the FQDN corresponding to IP address given to HE VM. --- Thanks for the explanation. Now I understand what FQDN is for Ovirt. Is there any problem if I do not use the naming convention like aaa.bbb.ccc, but only aaa? Also I am some confused for the above explanation. Here it said the IP for VM is better to be got from DHCP rather than manual IP. If so, do this mean I need to change all /etc/hosts file of all virt nodes to update the IP for the FQDN for engine VM? What is the confusions if I use manual IP rather than DHCP for engine VM?

Does it mean the hostname of VM host? In my case, it is compute2-2. The following is my hosts file, my VM host and storage is 10.0.0.92. And I am trying to assign 10.0.0.95 to the hosted VM. --- [root@compute2-2 ~]# cat /etc/hosts 10.0.0.93 compute2-2 nfs2-2 10.0.0.95 ovrit-test 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 ::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6 ---- Also how I can remove the VM I installed, as for when I try to do hosted-engine --deploy, it shows --- [root@compute2-2 ~]# hosted-engine --deploy [ INFO ] Stage: Initializing Continuing will configure this host for serving as hypervisor and create a VM where you have to install oVirt Engine afterwards.
