Hello,

We've just deployed the ovirt-4.1 hosted_engine and I have noticed 2 things 
that it would be great if people can comment on:

1) It seems that iptables is a hard requirement:

> iptables was detected on your computer, do you wish setup to configure it? 
> (Yes, No)[Yes]: no

[ INFO  ] Connecting to the Engine
[ INFO  ] Waiting for the host to become operational in the engine. This may 
take several minutes...
[ ERROR ] The VDSM host was found in a failed state. Please check engine and 
bootstrap installation logs.
[ ERROR ] Unable to add example-host.tradingscreen.com to the manager
[ INFO  ] Saving hosted-engine configuration on the shared storage domain
[ INFO  ] Shutting down the engine VM

Here is a bug report from 3.5.0 with this exact error:

Bug 1167074<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1167074> - 
[hosted-engine] Deployment fails with "The VDSM host was found in a failed 
state. Please check engine and bootstrap installation logs."

Previously, iptables-services was not a required package during hosted-engine 
deployment, so hosted-engine was unable to configure iptables. Now, 
iptables-services is
required, so hosted-engine can configure iptables correctly.

2) We have to add new storage to the default domain before the hosted_engine 
storage domain is imported. So is this happening because of the iptables issue 
in # 1 above ?
Or is adding this new storage to the default domain also a hard requirement ? 
Ideally we'd like the hosted_storage to be the Data Master and not have to 
create stub storage for this.

Here is a bug report from 3.6.1 with this exact error:

Bug 1293928<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1293928>  Cause: 
importing the nfs domain could interleave with the engine restart as a result 
of installation.

Consequence: the hosted engine domain won't be imported or activated on the 
engine setup, and the engine vm wouldn't be imported and displayed in the 
webadmin or REST.

Fix: Exclusively lock the import attempt so interleaving of 2 imports is 
impossible and prevent starting the import if there is no DATA domain and an 
ACTIVE DC.
Note: this means that in order to see the engine VM a user must first import a 
DATA domain and activate the DC.

Result: the hosted engine domain is imported and the hosted engine VM.

Thanks,
Joe.
