Hi Simone, thanks for the tips!
Neither the ovirt or Red Hat docs mentioned (or quite possibly I
missed it) exactly what I should expect from the working hosted
engine, so I was a bit confused. Good to know 3.6 will bring those!
The last attempt log is attached. I don't have all the logs from
previous tries anymore, sorry =(
Again about the docs: I believe I will request a wiki editor account
if you guys are accepting. I noted a few points of confusion where I
had to do a lot of guess work - an example is the storage domain for
the hosted engine, it took me quite a bit of guessing to find out it
was a separate domain =D

Could you please share your hosted-engine setup logs?

These two are weird.

This one is attended, you'll be able to customize engine VM from webadmin interface
only since the next oVirt 3.6

The same.
