Previously, although you could use engine-rename to change the FQDN of the Manager, the Manager still passed the old value when deploying new self-hosted engine nodes. Now, you can use hosted-engine --set-shared-config to modify the FQDN in hosted-engine.conf.
3. What is the nature and description of the request?
When we run the ovirt-engine-rename tool on hosted-engine VM, the configuration of fqdn in the host "/etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf" file.
# cat /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf
fqdn=<fqdn> <<======= here
vm_disk_id=f27af8d0-b8b8-402b-9114-886bc9a98759
vm_disk_vol_id=3c25f27d-91bf-416d-bc31-a0f11dc245af
vmid=88453282-193c-45d6-8944-ef8c8f8415b4
storage=<host_name>:/RHV4/HE_Data
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Implement hosted einge setup
2. rename hostname of engine with ovirt-engine-rename tool.
3. Check cat /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf
Actual results:
The hostname in hosted engine host to monitor Hosted engine VM heath remains unchanged.
Expected results:
It should change.
Additional info:
Workaround is to manually update the file with correct hostname.
4. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)
To enable HA for hosted engine VM for monitoring or service.
5. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)
Change hostname in /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf file automatically after running ovirt-engine-rename or some other function.
6. For each functional requirement listed, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.
Yes
7. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat Bugzilla?
I filed bug but team asked me to report a feature request. So here it is.
8. Does the customer have any specific time-line dependencies and which release would they like to target (i.e. RHEL5, RHEL6)?
No
9. Is the sales team involved in this request and do they have any additional input?
No
10. List any affected packages or components.
rhevm
11. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented?
Yes

The user should probably use 'hosted-engine --set-shared-config' with the right value for the initial answerfile but currently 'hosted-engine --set-shared-config' let the user just modify notifications related values.

Moving to 4.1.4 not being identified as a blocker for 4.1.3 and depending on bug #1457357 which hasn't been targeted yet.

Shorted and safest version of a fixing workaround to be used on older 4.0 systems:
dir=$(mktemp -d) && cd $dir
IMAGEPATH=$(find /rhev/data-center/ -path "*/${sdUUID}/images/${conf_image_UUID}/${conf_volume_UUID}" -type f 2>>/dev/null)
sudo -u vdsm dd if=$IMAGEPATH 2>/dev/null | tar -xvf - 2>>/dev/null
# edit fhanswers.conf and fix OVEHOSTED_NETWORK/fqdn line
# upload it back
tar --blocking-factor=40 -cO * | sudo -u vdsm dd of=$IMAGEPATH
