Yes, the only thing I have not been able to figure out is how to let
the
ovirt-engine know that ovirt-engine is running. :) I thought that it
would
see via libvirt, but it does not. I also tried setting it in the db,
but
it keeps getting cleared. Any idea on how to let ovirt-engine know
that a
host has been started manually?

Seriously, not a good idea. The Engine is supposed to be looking at the setup, 
and not be in the setup, where it may be affected by the problems that  might 
occur to the setup.
I'm pretty sure there's lots of though being devoted to removing this 
limitation, but when we say it's a bad idea, it really is, it's not like we 
simply want you to run an extra machine

Doron - this reminds me of the all-in-one discussion. what was the resolution on flagging the node as a node running an engine VM (even without engine knowing about its own VM)



What do you use for storage?


That's easier than block storage, but still, what happens if the host where the 
engine was running failed - who would update VM statuses and restart the HA VMs?

NFS:

mount 10.13.0.4:/images/ /rhev/data-center/mnt/10.13.0.4:_images
mount 10.13.0.4:/iso/ /rhev/data-center/mnt/10.13.0.4:_iso
