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]:

So here's the output that was requested in the other thread. Hope someone can help me here. Thanks!
