Didn't check them - I guess it's the same, no? Most likely you are correct.

Thanks. Sadly enough, the failure comes early in the hosted engine deployment process, making the VM completely inaccessible. While I see qemu-kvm briefly start, it usually dies before I have any chance to access it. Can I somehow prevent hosted-engine --deploy from destroying the hosted engine VM, when the deployment fails, giving me access to it?
