Description of problem: Make fully automated setup the default option in hosted engine setup. Setup should also recommend installing the appliance if missing. This is the easiest, most supportable path.
For this bug verification: 1. check that the default option offered is disk (and not cdrom as before) 2. In case appliance is missing, a message on that should appear.
verified on x86_64 : Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager Version: 3.6.2-0.1.el6 verification steps: 1. crashed the VM using the command- echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger 2. look in vdsm log and see there is no stacktrace, in PPC see that the event being reported and ignored: libvirtEventLoop::DEBUG::2016-01-07 10:39:22,994::vm::4493::virt.vm::(onLibvirtLifecycleEvent) vmId=`7972511c-5b15-42f8-be74-9a5262b3272d`::event Crashed detail 0 opaque None
please ignore the lase comment, this is the wrong bug.
