I managed to resolve this, don't know why I was not paying attention to the first error.
The engine needs to have a cluster called Default or the host won't get added to the engine, this was causing that constant spam of "still waiting for host to become operational".
The host would however still get added to the ha-services just not the engine and the install terminates.

Shame about the way the CA works, may be worth putting a reverse proxy in front as unsigned SSL can be a deal breaker.Perhaps. Would you like to open a bug?Anyway, my vdsm.log is here http://www.fpaste.org/72643/98338713/When it's "Still waiting for VDSM host to become operational.." there is no output in vdsm.logSorry, didn't follow. What this refers to? The ssl issue or something else?So the output of the install process is like this:[ INFO ] Engine replied: DB Up!Welcome to Health Status![ ERROR ] Cannot automatically add the host to the Default cluster: Entity not found: Cluster: name=Default[ INFO ] Waiting for the host to become operational in the engine.
