Hello All,
after configuring a first setup, based on the quick start guide, I'm now
looking
at the hosted-engine setup.
My question is: after I do the hosted-engine-setup, how do I setup vm's on
the same
machine that hosts the now-virtualized engine?
Greetings, J.

You can add this host like any other host. You will then also see the
hosted engine VM as a special VM in the VMs tab of the web admin portal.
Just make sure that your VM can reach the physical host.

You can add this host like any other host. You will then also see the
hosted engine VM as a special VM in the VMs tab of the web admin portal.
Just make sure that your VM can reach the physical host.
Just an addition: your first host will be automatically added to your
engine so you don't have to do anything special on that.
hosted-engine on the other side, is using a dedicated storage domain for
the engine VM and you cannot use it for other VMs so you still need to add
a second storage domain for regular VMs.
Take care that loopback mounting NFS could lead to deadlocks:

On a single host with the storage on the same host iSCSI seams more
reliable.

Take in mind also that in 3.6.0 there is a bug so that you don't actually
see your engine vm inside admin portal and also you cannot import it. To be
fixed in 3.6.1. See:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1269768
Also, if you plan to have a single host and you use NFS for storage domains
on your single host, you have to manually change
/usr/lib/systemd/system/ovirt-ha-broker.service
so that in the [Unit] section it looks like:
[Unit]
Description=oVirt Hosted Engine High Availability Communications Broker
After=nfs-server.service
otherwise ovirt-ha-broker will fail to start and you have to manually start
it after boot and nfs service has come up.

Hello Roman and Simone,
thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
I just messed up the first attempt by selection the wrong interface during
the install.
But I think I get the overall picture.
