There may be a bug in the latest installer. Or I might have missed a step somewhere.

I did use the 4.4.5 installer for hyperconverged wizard, yes.

I'm currently in the Engine console right now, and I only see 1 host.

I've navigated to Compute -> Hosts.

That said, when I navigate to Compute -> Clusters -> Default, I see this message:

Some new hosts are detected in the cluster. You can Import them to engine or Detach them from the cluster.

I clicked on Import to try to import them into the engine.

On the next screen, I see the other two physical hosts.

I verified the Gluster peer address, as well as the front-end Host address, typed in the root password, and clicked OK. The system acted like it was doing stuff, but then eventually I landed back on the same "Add Hosts" screen as before:

If you deployed with wizard the hosted engine should already be HA and can run on any host. I’d you look at GUI you will see a crown beside each host that is capable of running the hostess engine.

I just finished deploying oVirt 4.4.5 onto a 3-node hyperconverged cluster running on Red Hat 8.3 OS.

Over the course of the setup, I noticed that I had to setup the storage for the engine separately from the gluster bricks. 

It looks like the engine was installed onto /rhev/data-center/ on the first host, whereas the gluster bricks for all 3 hosts are on /gluster_bricks/.

I fear that I may already know the answer to this, but:

Is it possible to make the engine highly available?

Also, thinking hypothetically here, what would happen to my VMs that are physically on the first server, if the first server crashed? The engine is what handles the high availability, correct? So what if a VM was running on the first host? There would be nothing to automatically "move" it to one of the remaining healthy hosts.

Or am I misunderstanding something here?
