[ovirt-users] Troubles starting hosted engine

I have lots of extra fun bringing up my hosted engine right now due to
two issues.

First, either during the hosted-engine --deploy or engine-setup (I can't
remember) I was prompted for the IP address of my gateway.  Since then
that address has changed.  I'm unable to start the engine VM if that
address isn't reachable so my temporary workaround is to add this old
address onto the current gateway.  How/where do I change things so that
this old address can be truly retired?

My second issue might be harder.  Again during the setup I was prompted
for a location of an ISO file for installing the engine's OS.  That
location is served by NFS and is auto-mounted by /etc/fstab (and
systemd).  Here's the hitch: my NFS server is now a VM in my cluster. 
:-)  Since I only have a single hypervisor host right now that ISO isn't
reachable when I'm trying to start my engine VM so that I can also start
the VM that provides the NFS share.  I'm getting away with evil right
now by touching an empty file at the same path, which gets obscured once
the NFS share is mounted, but it's enough.

It's not at all clear to me how I'm supposed to edit things for my
hosted engine setup.
