Basically that after the first host installation+deploy (from the CLI),
after I enable the gluster management in the cluster, I have to manually
restart vdsmd on host1 to be able to install the other hosts. But maybe I
should just wait more time for vdmsd catch up with everything, I don't know.

Then I have some other problem like a ghost VM stuck on one host  after
moving the host to maintenance and the VM (the hosted-engine, the only one
running in the whole cluster) being correctly migrated to another host,
solved only by a manual reboot of the whole host (and consequent HE fencing
of the host). I must say that that particular host is giving ECC correction
errors in one DIMM, so maybe it could just be an HW related problem.

Well, actually I *do* have data bricks on the 4th host, it's just the
engine volume that's not present there (but that host is not HE eligible
anyway). Am I doing something wrong?
