I want to extend my lab and am trying an install using the hosted engine, but the install is failing for me:

References used for install:

http://community.redhat.com/blog/2014/10/up-and-running-with-ovirt-3-5/

Setup:

Minimal install of CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core)

Using DHCP with static address (tried without DHCP with same issue)

yum upgrade

Installed packages:

yum localinstall -y http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release36.rpm

yum install -y ovirt-hosted-engine-setup screen glusterfs-server nfs-utils vdsm-gluster system-storage-manager mailx

rebooted

Tried hosted-engine --deploy, but it errors out. I followed various logs and I _think_ it's failing related to vdsm-tool restore-nets. I could use some guidance on this to help track down what's happening and how to fix.

(Note: I'd very much prefer using the hosted engine vs. another option for my lab, so I'm willing to put in the time to figure this out. Thanks for any assistance!)

Install error:

Continuing will configure this host for serving as hypervisor and create a VM where you have to install the engine afterwards.

Are you sure you want to continue? (Yes, No)[Yes]:
