engine is up and admin web portal accessible and host results up.

I expected storage to be configured inside admin web portal but apparently I don't see anything already configured and also I don't see the sh engine VM listed... is it correct?

No, we have an open bug on that:

You can try to manually import it in the mean time.

Ok, I'll try.
So when bug solved, if I have a problem with the engine and for example I'm not able to connect to it through ssh and/or web admin console, what other means would I have to connect to it console and check (eg if it is in kernel panic for any reason)?
During setup I was proposed to connect via remote-viewer via a temporary password; I imagine this way is not usable after install, correct?


 

But hosted-engine storage domain can just contain the engine VM so you still need to add a regular storage domain for other VMs.




Ah, ok. I thought that the initial storage domain would have become the first storage domain for general VMs purposes too...
So actually if on dedicated filesystem/device, it could be small in size, say 5-10Gb if I use the appliance, correct?

 
BTW: what is the 2Gb file system on loop device?

It was used by hosted-engine-setup as a fake storage pool to bootstrap the hosted-engine storage domain.
It shouldn't be there at the end.
Could you please attach hosted-engine-setup logs to let me check why it's still there?

here it is:

I configured the storage domain part as NFS, pointing to ovc71.localdomain.local:/NFS_DOMAIN
Reading page at

it is not clear to me what to do next if I want for example keep a single host with its sh engine as a replacement concept of what before was all-in-one... and start creating VMs....

You have to setup your first regular data domain for other VMs: you can add another NFS one.

OK.
In case I want to setup a single host with self hosted engine, could I configure on hypervisor
a) one NFS share for sh engine
b) one NFS share for ISO DOMAIN
c) a local filesystem to be used to create then a local POSIX complant FS storage domain 
and work this way as a replacement of all-in-one?
 



Put the host in global maintenance (otherwise the engine VM will be restarted)
Shutdown the engine VM
Shutdown the host
 


Ok. And for starting all again, is this correct:

a) power on hypevisor
b) hosted-engine --set-maintenance --mode=none

other steps required?
