Here's a short guide for people having trouble setting up Hosted-Engine usi=
ng only Ovirt Nodes.   Anything to do with ' jenkins' OVA did not work for =
me, size mismatch, etc.

Anytime I tried to deploy the Hosted-Engine via the Node TUI, I was not pro=
mpted to adjust the amount of RAM the Hosted-Engine VM takes.  (default 16G=
B).   After the deploy setup, the Hosted-Engine VM would not boot.

When using a regular Ovirt host to deploy the Hosted-Engine, I was prompted=
 to adjust the RAM for the Hosted Engine!

Solution  :
Install ovirt-engine RPMs on "host1".
Install ovirt-hosted-engine-appliance RPM. Copy its OVA from /usr/share/ovi=
rt-engine-appliance/  to your webserver
Run hosted-engine -deploy from "host1".  Adjust the RAM to 4096.
Run the Hosted-Engine deploy from Node.  Let it SCP the config from "host1"
Reboot Host1 as make it another Node.
