Bug 1372134

Created attachment 1196574 [details]
RHVH using self-hosted, tried GUI and command line

Description of problem:
using either RHEL7.2 or RHV4H, the hosted-engine --deploy will stall on "Waiting for VDSM to reply" on certain servers. In this case an HP DL180SE G6 using a single NIC.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHV 4.0
otopi-1.5.1-3.el7ev

How reproducible:
run hosted-engine --deploy following instructions for self-hosted engine (same result on RHEL 7.2 and RHVH)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL7.2 (register system, disable repos all, enable repos, yum update, reboot)
2. yum install ovirt-hosted-engine-setup
3. yum install rheum-appliance
4. hosted-engine --deploy

Actual results:
[root@virt01 ~]# hosted-engine --deploy

          It is highly recommended to abort the installation and run it inside a screen session using command "screen".

          Please specify the storage you would like to use (glusterfs, iscsi, fc, nfs3, nfs4)[nfs3]: 

Additional info:
Disabling IPV6 on all interfaces via sysctl.conf is a workaround.
Same method succeed on older AMD servers
Attached is an SOS from a RHVH4 install I ran sosreport on.  I have logs for RHEL7.2 also available.
Seems identical to this - http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2016-July/041110.html
