Found a working option to get second and subsequent hosts deployed with ovirt 4.1

1-Set second host into maintenance
2-highlight second host and choose "Installation --> Reinstall", edit params in popup and click OK
3-Ignore warning that pops up and watch the vdsm.log or look for "Installing" status in webui
4-It should show you that the install is running, keep watching vdsm.log.
5-Click 'ok' on warning and wait patiently for install to finish.

Second node comes up and is active.

Having same issue here also.

hosted-engine --deploy via cli is no longer available and hosted deploy via UI does not work.
Host 2 is present in the engine manager and can be controlled via GUI, however engine manager vm cannot be moved to host 2 due to hosted-engine --deploy needing to be run.

Does web ui include Cockpit UI? 

I tried to install additional Hosted Engine from Cockpit UI but I received a same error which I received on cli.
> [ ERROR ] The selected device already contains a storage domain.

I tried from "Start" link, but must I use "Deploy with Gluster *" like following link?

* In my case, it's "Hosted Engine with Gluster"

I also tried "Hosted Engine with Gluster", but when I ran "deploy" after option selection, 
"Deployment failed" was displayed in a moment and I could not find a log, so I gave up. 

Also, when running "Hosted Engine with Gluster", many things are done automatically 
(create LV and create GlusterFS volume etc.), so I believe there is just another way to simply add hosted engine.

If you know, could you please tell me which link should be executed to add hosted-engine?

Thanks,
Tatsuya
