Did you try configuring the appliance with cloud-init?
Can you please attach hosted-engine-setup logs?

I need to poweroff the engine VM, I get in trouble. Because, then the
hostname goes back to localhost.localdomain.localdomain and both DHCP & DNS
within our enterprise/production environment ends up assuming that for the
hostname to IP address reference or record. And it seems that other linux
systems (not the ones I administer; none of my almost 50 systems are
effected. Of those, I have about 5 linux/UNIX based systems attached to the
production network) are going offline because of this.

them what to look for, in order to fix the issue on their own systems, but
they’ve ended up with this now for the third time.

converting that to a VM for a hosted engine. I hope that is going to work.
I tried bringing up the OVA of the appliance within VirtualBox, but that
doesn’t work. Is there another virtual software I can bring up within a
Windows PC to simply edit the hostname, then export the appliance again?

Jenkins.ovirt.org site.
