One message stood out to me, being very similar to a problem I saw.  I'd 
like to try and rule it out, if possible (see below).

Veli, does your host have a /var/lib/vdsm/netconfback directory present?  I 
have found that this can cause the "Job canceled" message due to some 
interactions between systemd services.

In my case, removing that directory and restarting vdsmd solved the issue 
(of course be sure to inspect the old network setup in the netconfback 
directory before deleting it, in case you may need it).

If the script times out during the final “AIO: Adding Local host (This may take several minutes)” step, you can proceed to the web admin console to complete the process. If it times out at an earlier point, like waiting for the jboss-as server to start, you should run “engine-cleanup” and then re-run “engine-setup”.
