[ovirt-users] how to 'reset' a failed install?

I've been doing lots of unsuccessful 3.5 hosted-engine installs in my lab,
where it's easy for me to re-install the OS if I need to start over. Now I
need to try an install in a remote datacenter where I won't be able to
re-install the OS. So I was wondering if there is a way to 'reset' a failed
install so that another install can be attempted...

My thoughts so far are:

- stop vdsm, supervdsm, and libvirt
- use etckeeper to reset everything under /etc
- delete old log files
- delete hosted_engine storage domain on storage (if install got that far)
- restart vdsm, supervdsm, and libvirt

What am I missing? Maybe some remnants in /var (hmm, probably the vdsm
persistent config)? Anything else?
