[ovirt-users] How to deploy hosted-engine to the second and later host machines

[Ian Neilsen]

Found a working option to get second and subsequent hosts deployed with
ovirt 4.1

1-Set second host into maintenance
2-highlight second host and choose "Installation --> Reinstall", edit
params in popup and click OK
3-Ignore warning that pops up and watch the vdsm.log or look for
"Installing" status in webui
4-It should show you that the install is running, keep watching vdsm.log.
5-Click 'ok' on warning and wait patiently for install to finish.

Second node comes up and is active.
