I've been reading through documentation
https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/architecture/architecture/
https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/self-hosted/Self-Hosted_Engine_Guide/

But am struggling still to understand the role ovirt-engine plays.  Would 
anyone have recommends for additional reads?

The problem I'm tackling currently looks like this:
- We have (2) oVirt Data Centers, each populated by a single Cluster.  The Data 
Centers are physically & network-wise 'distant' from one another
- hosted-engine runs on (3) of the (4) Hosts in Data Center A / Cluster A.  
hosted-engine does not run on Data Center B / Cluster B
- When we disrupt network connectivity around Cluster A (yes, that's Cluster 
*A*), Hosts in Cluster B crash (requiring a power cycle) and Guests in Cluster 
B get stopped and paused

I'm struggling to understand why mussing with Cluster A affects Cluster B.  
From pcaps, I can see plenty of TLS traffic from Cluster A's Hosts -- 
presumably from ovirt-engine running on Cluster A -- exchanged with Cluster B.  
So, during my last maintenance window, I put hosted-engine into maintenance 
mode ... but Hosts/VMs in Cluster B were still affected.

Where do I go to better understand what ovirt-engine does when it is 'managing' 
Hosts & VMs?
