Note: ensuring that this host could resolve the engine VM hostname is still up to you As Didi stated the properly way to use that is with a properly working DHCP/DNS infrastructure having each host resolving each others and so on. Then hosted-engine setup will ask you about engine VM mac address and you have to create a reservation for that on your infrastructure. For smaller/test deployment where a DHCP server is not present we are providing also a static IP addressing option for the engine appliance: you can specify an IP address for your new VM and it will be configured in the appliance via cloud-init. Then your host should be able to resolve it and so, if you don't have a registering DNS, it's up to you to configure it via /etc/hosts on your host. Cause the appliance deployment is fully automated you don't have the time to do it on the appliance and so we provided a way to inject the host address into /etc/hosts on the appliance. It's still up to you to add other hosts there if you want to deploy additional ones. So having a properly working DNS and DHCP server is definitively a better option. > I run it through screen and I'm not able to scroll through the output of > it.... > 1. Hit your screen prefix combination ( C-a / control + A by default), then hit Escape . 2. Move up/down with the arrow keys to scrool the output buffer. 3. When you're done, hit Return twice to get back to the end of the scroll buffer. > > Can I re-run using the answer file?
