But nevertheless, no idea if its intended or not, but it seems that adding a host via "host->computer->create" doesn't create the necessary /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf configuration on the new hosts, preventing ovirt-ha-* services from starting.

So , set the host into maintenance and
then select installation -> reinstall -> Hosted Engine -> Deploy
