After you removed the hosts, and before you added them again: Did you
reinstall the OS? If not, there might be some mess left behind.
I suggest to try again: Remove a host, reinstall the OS on it, then
add it back and make sure you choose "Deploy". Then give it some time
to update (should not be more than a few minutes, let's say 1 hour).
If it still does not look good, please check/share all relevant logs.
Thanks.

Best regards,
