I'also stuck with that issue.

I have 
3x  HP ProLiant DL360 G7

1x 1gbit => as control network
3x 1gbit => bond0 as Lan
2x 10gbit => bond1 as gluster network

I installed on all 3 servers Ovirt Node 4.3.8
configured the networks using cockpit.
followed this guide for the gluster setup with cockpit: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/gluster-hyperconverged/chap-Deploying_Hyperconverged.html  
the installed the hosted engine with cockpit ->:
[ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Wait for the host to be up]

What is the best approach now to install a Ovirt Hostedengine?

Same situation as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1787267. The error message almost everywhere is some red herring message about ansible

You are right that it's misleading, but were the errors below the only ones you got from ansible?

But the "real" problem seems to be SSH related, as you can see below

Indeed

Please check/share the entire portion of engine.log, from where it starts to try to ssh til it gives up.

The funny thing is that the engine can indeed ssh to bric-ovirt-1 (physical host). See below

Can you please try this, from the engine machine:

ssh root@bric-ovirt-1.corp.modmed.com true

If this outputs the above "PROHIBITED" note, you'll have to configure your
scripts etc. to not output it on non-interactive shells. Otherwise, this
confuses the engine - it can't really distinguish between your own output
and the output of the commands it runs there.
 
[root@bric-ovirt-1 ~]# exit
logout
Connection to bric-ovirt-1.corp.modmed.com closed.
[root@bric-ovirt-engine ~]#
[root@bric-ovirt-engine ~]#
[root@bric-ovirt-engine ~]# exit
logout
Connection to 192.168.1.52 closed.
[root@bric-ovirt-1 ~]#

So, what gives? I already disabled all ssh security in the physical host, and whitelisted all potential IPs from the engine using firewalld. Regardless, the engine can ssh to the host as root :-(. Is there maybe another user that's used for the "Wait for the host to be  up" SSH test? Yes, I tried both passwords and certificates.

No, that's root. You can also see that in the log.
 


Maybe what's really happening is that engine is not getting the right IP? bric-ovirt-engine is supposed to get 10.130.0.50, instead it never gets there, getting 192.168.1.52 from virbr0 in bric-ovirt-1. See below.

That's by design. For details, if interested, see "Hosted Engine 4.3 Deep Dive" presentation:

https://www.ovirt.org/community/get-involved/resources/slide-decks.html

The newly created engine VM does remain up even after hosted-engine --deploy errors out; just at the wrong IP. I haven't been able to make it get its real IP.

This happens only after the real engine VM is created, connected to the correct network.

The current engine vm you see is a libvirt VM connected to its default (internal) network.
 
At any rate, thank you very much for taking a look at my very long email. Any and all help would be really appreciated.

Good luck and best regards,
