Hi Simone,
it seems that I spoke too soon :(
A separate network issue (already reported to the list) prevented me from successfully closing up the setup in its final phase (registering the host inside the Engine), so all seemed well while being stuck there :)
Now that I've solved that (for which I'm informing the list asap in a separate message) and the setup ended successfully, it seems that the last step of the HE setup (shutdown the Engine vm to place it under HA agent control) starts/creates a "different vm" and my virtual hardware customizations seem to be gone (only one NIC present, connected to ovirtmgmt).
My wild guess: maybe I need BOTH the mixins.py AND the vm.conf.in customizations? ;)
It seems (from /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf) that the Engine vm definition is now in /var/run/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/vm.conf
Many thanks for your assistance (and obviously I just sent a related wishlist item on the HE setup ;)
Regards,
Giuseppe
