In hosted-engine the engine will run as a VM so if your host is a virtual
machine too you are going to create a nested deployment. To create a nested
env you need to:
- enable nested virtualization on the external hypervisor, follow here as a
reference if you are using oVirt
http://www.ovirt.org/Vdsm_Developers#Running_Node_as_guest_-_Nested_KVM
- if you are using oVirt as your external hypervisor, disable no-mac-spoof
filter on the physical hypervisor otherwise your engine VM will no have
network connectivity at all. You can proceed following this instructions:
