There is now an option for this in the gui, did you mark it? See also:
Ah.. I see. In "New Host" window there is a section named "Hosted Engine" and it defaults to "None" and I was give that..: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvME9CVGFRLTB0b0k/view?usp=sharin... I didn't know it. I have verified I was able to put one host into maintenance (the only one running VM was automatically migrated) and then select "Reinstall" and in the proposed window I select now "Deploy" in similar hosted engine section: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvWTJMQXpwbHJYc00/view?usp=sharin...

I was also able now to migrate the hosted engine vm to the second host and to connect without problems to its console. I'm going to change also the third host. Two notes: 1) it would be nice to pre-filter the drop down box when you have to choose the host where migrate the hosted engine... So that if there are no hosts available you will be given a related message without choice at all and if there is a subset of eligible hosts inside the cluster, you will be proposed only to choose one of them and not all the hosts inside the cluster. 2) If the gui option becomes the default and preferred way to deploy hosts in self hosted engine environments I think it should be put in clearer shape that if you follow the default action you would not have high availability for the hosted engine vm. Or changing the default action to "Deploy", or showing a popup if the hosted engine vm has only one host configured for it but there are other hosts in the cluster. Just my opinion. Thanks, Gianluca
