This is usually a name resolution issue:
  "vm": "up" - this is checked at virt level
  "reason": "failed liveliness check", "health": "bad" - this is checked from the host over http

I'd suggest to double check that the host can correctly resolve the name of the engine VM and that the engine VM correctly got the address where its FQDN resolves to.
Do you have a properly working DHCP with a DHCP reservation for the engine VM? did you set a static IP on the engine VM?
