Couple of quick things about ovirt-engine setup. First, if you run it a second time, it mentions that you should run a cleanup script first, but as far as I can see that cleanup script doesn't exist. Is a FQDN REALLY necessary? Its there something that can be done locally to alleviate this need? I tried using /etc/hosts but it didn't check that.

Isn't there an 'engine-cleanup' utility somewhere? At least in git, I can see it @ packaging/fedora/setup/engine-cleanup.py and in the file system post RPN installation, I think it should be under scripts directory.

It's highly recommended, but if you can get whatever you put there resolvable - not only in the management station, but also for the hosts and frontend, you should be fine. It's to ensure certificates (and certificate-based authentication) are properly working, mainly. Y.
