The issue seams to be there:
2015-04-23 15:53:27 ERROR otopi.plugins.ovirt_hosted_engine_setup.engine.add_host add_host._wait_host_ready:239 Timed out while waiting for host to start. Please check the logs.
2015-04-23 15:53:27 ERROR otopi.plugins.ovirt_hosted_engine_setup.engine.add_host add_host._closeup:458 Unable to add srv-rhevbh-no01 to the manager

Your engine VM wasn't able to deploy the host.
Could you please check host-deploy logs on the engine VM?

Was that VM able to resolve and connect to srv-rhevbh-no01?

Yes, any contribution is welcome!
