Expected results:

installation works 


Additional info:

i tried to manually reproduce add the host, simulate same as per  
https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/blob/master/src/ansible/bootstrap_local_vm.yml#L288

  vars:
    HOST_NAME: "srv-1215.dom.net"
    HOST_ADDRESS: "srv-1215.dom.net"
    ovirt_auth:
      url: "https://srv-1214.dom.net/ovirt-engine/api"
      username: "admin@internal"
      password: "pass"
      insecure: True

  tasks:
  - name: Add host
    ovirt_hosts:
      name: "{{ HOST_NAME }}"
      state: present
      password: "pass"
      address: "{{ HOST_ADDRESS }}"
      auth: "{{ ovirt_auth }}"


obviously the hosted-engine VM get's shut down during vdsm/libvirt reconfigure
