I rebuilt my iSCSI (I don't think I cleaned it up from a previous install). Re-ran the above 4 commands. Restarted hosted engine standard setup from web-UI. Install moved past "Connecting Storage Pool" so I believe the above was my fault.
These are the last messages displayed on the web-UI. Creating Storage Pool Connecting Storage Pool Verifying sanlock lockspace initialization Creating Image for 'hosted-engine.lockspace' ...

At the host terminal, I got the error "watchdog watchdog0: watchdog did not stop!" Then the host restarted.
Simone, can you help here?
This is as far as I've gotten in previous attempts.
Attaching the hosted-engine-setup log.
The SOS report is 9MB and the ovirt users group will drop the email.

Now that you have identified the problem, should I run the following commands and send you another SOS?
ovirt-hosted-engine-cleanup vdsm-tool configure --force systemctl restart libvirtd systemctl restart vdsm
Or is there a different plan in mind?
I would have expected someone from virt team to follow up for further investigations :-) above commands should work.
Thank you,

Can you please elaborate about the failure you see here and how are you trying to manually partition the host?
Sure, I will start from the beginning. - Using: ovirt-node-ng-installer-ovirt-4.1-2017052604 <(201)%20705-2604>.iso - During installation I setup one of the two interfaces and check the box to automatically use the connection. - I'm currently providing a host name of node-1.test.net until I have a successful process. - I configure date and time for my timezone and to use an internal NTP server. - On Installation Destination, I pick my 128GB USB3.0 SanDisk flash drive, check the box that I would like to make additional space, and click done. In the reclaim disk space window, I click delete all, and then reclaim space. I go back into the Installation Destination, select that I will configure partitioning, and click done. The Manual Partitioning window opens, I use the option to automatically create mount points.
In this screen, please change partitioning scheme from LVM to LVM Thin Provisioning: it should solve your following error.
At this point, /boot is 1024MB, /var is 15GB, / is 88.11 GB, and swap is 11.57GB. I then change / to 23.11 GB, update settings, change /var to 80GB, update settings again, and click done. I accept the changes and begin installation.
I tried these changes based on this article: http://www.ovirt.org/ documentation/self-hosted/chap-Deploying_Self-Hosted_Engine/
The article does say that you can specify a different directory than /var/tmp, but I don't recall seeing that option.
If the setup detects not enough space in /var/tmp for extracting the appliance it will ask about a different directory.
After some time, I get the following error: There was an error running the kickstart script at line 7. This is a fatal error and installation will be aborted. The details of this error are:
[INFO] Trying to create a manageable base from '/' [ERROR] LVM Thin Provisioning partitioning scheme is required. For autoinstall via Kickstart with LVM Thin Provisioning check options --thinpool and --grow. Please consult documentation for details.
^^ this one should be solved by the LVM Thin Provisioning scheme mentioned above..

At this point, the only option is to exit the installer.
****************************
Being this a new install, please use 4.1. oVirt 4.0 is not supported anymore.
Not a problem.

Can you please provide hosted engine setup logs or better a full sos report? (sosreport -a)
Again, the process I'm following: - Using: ovirt-node-ng-installer-ovirt-4.1-2017052604 <(201)%20705-2604>.iso - During installation I setup one of the two interfaces and check the box to automatically use the connection. - I'm currently providing a host name of node-1.test.net until I have a successful process. - I configure date and time for my timezone and to use an internal NTP server. - On Installation Destination, I pick my 128GB USB3.0 SanDisk flash drive, check the box that I would like to make additional space, and click done. In the reclaim disk space window, I click delete all, and then reclaim space. - Begin Installation and set a root password. - Perform a yum update - no packages marked for update (as expected) - Use vi to update /etc/hosts with a reference for node-1.test.net and engine.test.net - First attempt at hosted-engine from web-UI - Setup downloads and installs ovirt-engine-applianc e-4.1-20170523.1.el7.centos.noarch.rpm *Failed to execute stage 'Environment setup': Failed to reconfigure libvirt for VDSM *Hosted Engine deployment failed - Attached SOS report The checksum is: aa56097edc0b63c49caaf1a1fde021bc
At this point, I would run ovirt-hosted-engine-cleanup and I would get further along in the install process. However, because this is a fresh install, I'm going to leave things here for now so you can review the SOS.
Thanks for the SOS report! Hosted Engine setup fails on:

I'd like to understand the issues you faced before suggesting to restart from scratch.
Too late... I did two re-installs to get a more accurate account of my install process for above.

Thank you for your help!
