I see that it is possible, I am just not sure if it is a straight forward process using ‘nmtui’ or editing the network config file.

Or perhaps you even found it explicitly written somewhere? Searching around and testing in LAB. I am testing 4.3 though not 4.4. I used engine-rename tool and although was able to change fqdn for hosts and engine, I observed that some certificates were left out (for example OVN was still complaining about certificate issue with subject name not agreeing with the new FQDN - checking/downloading the relevant cert was still showing the previous FQDN). I do not deem successful the renaming of not all services are functional.

At this same link it reads: While the ovirt-engine-rename command creates a new certificate for the web server on which the Engine runs, it does not affect the certificate for the Engine or the certificate authority. Due to this, there is some risk involved in using the ovirt-engine-rename command, particularly in environments that have been upgraded from Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.2 and earlier. Therefore, changing the fully qualified domain name of the Engine by running engine-cleanup and engine-setup is recommended where possible. explaining my above findings from the tests.

Also I am wondering if I can change in some way the management network and make from untagged to VLAN tagged.
