Hi All! Just tried to install the hosted engine on a fresh CentOS 6.6: beside setting up a gluster cluster, I just added the repo and installed hosted-engine-setup package. Otherwise it's just a very minimal installation. hosted-engine deploy failed immediately. The issue seems to be the same as described here http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2014-October/028461.html but that conversation didn't continue after the reporting user was asked for additional details. Failed installation: [root@vhost1 ~]# hosted-engine --deploy [ INFO ] Stage: Initializing Continuing will configure this host for serving as hypervisor and create a VM where you have to install oVirt Engine afterwards. Are you sure you want to continue? (Yes, No)[Yes]: [ INFO ] Generating a temporary VNC password.

Hope someone can help me here. Thanks!
