After doing a bit more research, I was able to get the engine to boot by issuing
CTRL-ALT-DEL through remote viewer. I am uncertain as to why that appears to fix the
problem with the engine, however after such I have added additional hosts, and reinstalled
the first host that failed on the original deployment.
During the three previous failed deployments, using the OVIRT rpms from the resources
site, I manually specified the engine OVA path, which produced the same results. I dont
know if this install problem has to do with imageio or how all the OVA's were sealed
on creation but the logs from the engine doesnt show anything out of the ordinary and the
engine has all the environment variables inputted during the deployment. Will attach the
setup and imageIO logs for reference.
thanks
