I am not having any luck.   When I get to step 5 (engine-setup), the "PKI
organization" still has the old domainname???

          --== CONFIGURATION PREVIEW ==--

          Update Firewall                         : False
          Host FQDN                               : bacchus.xxxcentral.com
          Engine database secured connection      : False
          Engine database host                    : localhost
          Engine database user name               : engine
          Engine database name                    : engine
          Engine database port                    : 5432
          Engine database host name validation    : False
          DWH database secured connection         : False
          DWH database host                       : localhost
          DWH database user name                  : ovirt_engine_history
          DWH database name                       : ovirt_engine_history
          DWH database port                       : 5432
          DWH database host name validation       : False
          Engine installation                     : True
          *PKI organization                        : xxxportal.com
<http://xxxportal.com>*
          DWH installation                        : True
          Backup DWH database                     : True
          Engine Host FQDN                        : bacchus.xxxcentral.com
          Configure VMConsole Proxy               : False
          Configure WebSocket Proxy               : False
