If all goes well they should be identical, otherwise /etc will have the "last known good" one and /var will have all. But it might fail later during host-deploy. That stage requires ssh from the engine to the host as root (currently, there's an open RFE about this). But it does not require a password, because we add the engine's public key to the host's /root/.ssh/authorized_keys. So if you allow ssh as root with public key auth, it should work. Please check/post setup logs to try and understand why it was identified as 1st host. Not difficult in principle, currently not supported. As Sandro said, you can open an RFE. Best, -- Didi
