If the engine manages to 'reboot' the host as you say, it seems that the engine can communicate with the host. So it might be that you have a bit of a chicken and egg problem: the host is missing a required network and therefore goes back into non-responsive. If you have other (non mgmt) 'required' networks on the host, set the networks to non-required under Compute | Clusters | <cluster> | Logical Networks | Manager Networks temporarily. In Compute | Hosts | <host> | networks | setup networks can you attach 'ovirtmgmt' to the host in its current condition? Try to reboot the host.
