Many thanks for your very valuable hint:
I've restored the original /usr/share/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/templates/vm.conf.in
and I've managed to obtain the 3-nics-customized vm by modifying
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_setup/mixins.py like this ("diff
-Naur" output):
Hi Simone,
it seems that I spoke too soon :(
A separate network issue (already reported to the list) prevented me from successfully
closing up the setup in its final phase (registering the host inside the Engine), so all
seemed well while being stuck there :)
Now that I've solved that (for which I'm informing the list asap in a separate
message) and the setup ended successfully, it seems that the last step of the HE setup
(shutdown the Engine vm to place it under HA agent control) starts/creates a
"different vm" and my virtual hardware customizations seem to be gone (only one
NIC present, connected to ovirtmgmt).
My wild guess: maybe I need BOTH the mixins.py AND the vm.conf.in customizations? ;)
It seems (from /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf) that the Engine vm definition
is now in /var/run/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/vm.conf
Many thanks for your assistance (and obviously I just sent a related wishlist item on the
HE setup ;)
Regards,
Giuseppe

Obviously this is a horrible ad-hoc hack that I'm not able to generalize/clean-up
now: doing so would involve (apart from a deeper understanding of the whole setup
code/workflow) some well-thought-out design decisions and, given the effective deprecation
of the aforementioned easy-to-modify vm.conf.in template substituted by hardwired Python
program logic, it seems that such a functionality is not very high on the development
priority list atm ;)
Many thanks again!
