[ovirt-users] Fresh install failing (Hosted Engine)

[Jonathan Sherman]

I want to extend my lab and am trying an install using the hosted engine,
but the install is failing for me:

References used for install:

http://community.redhat.com/blog/2014/10/up-and-running-with-ovirt-3-5/

Setup:
Minimal install of CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core)
Using DHCP with static address (tried without DHCP with same issue)
yum upgrade

Installed packages:
yum localinstall -y
http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release36.rpm
yum install -y ovirt-hosted-engine-setup screen glusterfs-server nfs-utils
vdsm-gluster system-storage-manager mailx

rebooted

Tried hosted-engine --deploy, but it errors out.  I followed various logs
and I _think_ it's failing related to vdsm-tool restore-nets.  I could use
some guidance on this to help track down what's happening and how to fix.

(Note:  I'd very much prefer using the hosted engine vs. another option for
my lab, so I'm willing to put in the time to figure this out.  Thanks for
any assistance!)
