I ran the Prepare VM stage of the GUI HostedEngine install and when I came back it had
disconnected. Looking at the logs and the current status everything appears to be just
fine, but there doesn't seem to be any way in the GUI to continue where it left off.
I was wondering if there was some way to provide the hosted_storage information requested
in the next panel and complete the installation, perhaps with the command line, instead of
redoing all of the work that has already been completed successfully?

Sorry, but there is no way.
There is an open bug about this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1422544
Hopefully we'll soon get to handle it somehow. It should now be easier
than when it was opened, because now everything is just ansible,
unattended, so we can run it in the background and check the logs.
For now, these are your options:
1. Just do what you did, and make sure the browser session is not disconnected.
2. Same, but run the browser on some server in the same lan as the
hosted-engine host, and connect to it using some screen sharing tool.
This way, if your laptop disconnects, you can reconnect to the screen
share and hopefully find your browser still connected.
3. Do not use the GUI, but run deploy from the command-line
('hosted-engine --deploy'), and do that inside screen or tmux, so that
you can reconnect if needed.
Best regards,
