so there is no routing between the ovirtmgmt network and the iLO/IPMI
network?
what i am missing is why it will be ok for the engine to connect to all
hosts iLO but all other hosts can't?


I can't think of any reason why, but it sounds like you do. What's on your mind?

no - i just mentioned it is a use case in which we do install for simple
POC's where the engine and vdsm are on the same host, but it is limited
to using local storage of that host. it gives easy out of the box ramp
up, adds the host, creates the DC, storage domain, etc. - all as part of
the installation).
(and it is an rpm just like the rest of ovirt rpms in same repo)


I have made some headway, managed to add the host into it's own cluster using ovirt-engine-cli executing:
# create host --address "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" --cluster-id "99408929-82cf-4dc7-a532-9d998063fa95" --name "Default" --root_password "Password" --reboot_after_installation "0"

But I haven't had much luck setting SPM -1. Would you mind showing me the exact syntax, please?

thanks - glad to hear.
