Take in mind also that in 3.6.0 there is a bug so that you don't actually
see your engine vm inside admin portal and also you cannot import it. To be
fixed in 3.6.1. See:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1269768

Also, if you plan to have a single host and you use NFS for storage domains
on your single host, you have to manually change
/usr/lib/systemd/system/ovirt-ha-broker.service

so that in the [Unit] section it looks like:

[Unit]
Description=oVirt Hosted Engine High Availability Communications Broker
After=nfs-server.service

otherwise ovirt-ha-broker will fail to start and you have to manually start
it after boot and nfs service has come up.

HIH,
Gianluca
