Installing hosts w/o node installer

Hey folks, quick question: If I would like to use specific versions (contained within the host) and craft myself a specific environment for the hosts am I correct to assume that only installing the ovirt repo and a gluster version of my choice (cough, 7.0) would suffice? Then adding the host via an engine (and taking the ususal steps as you would for an ovirt node: ssh keys et all)? To my understanding the rollout is done via ansible so packages will be installed if not present? The installation is pretty vague on this point (https://www.ovirt.org/download/): 1. Enable the Base, Optional, and Extra repositories 2. Install Cockpit and the cockpit-ovirt-dashboard plugin: 3. Enable Cockpit 4. Open the firewall 5. - 9. Deploy using a hosted engine. So, by using a remote engine (aka, like an additional host): 1. Enable the Base, Optional, and Extra repositories the end? I would use CentOS 7 as a base which I am very familiar with. I would also setup Gluster by hand so "Only" the virtualization part needs to be done. This would, among other things, grant me perfect host recovery options for a 1-host disaster case. We are looking at a base CentOS7 install without any deep modifications (except for some packages etc).
