All tools will read it, so be careful about what you add there. This might include also host-deploy. hosted-engine setup has special handling for '--config-append', but in principle you can use that. It might be difficult on additional hosts, due to this special handling. You can also try imitating the behavior of engine-setup by passing e.g.: hosted-engine --deploy --otopi-environment="APPEND:CORE/configFileName=str:/etc/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup.conf" -- Didi
