I'm going to try a full rebuild again and see if I can get it working this
time.  I will pay more attention to the networking and see if I can figure
out what is going on.  How much more work does the scripts do after this
step I'm failing at?  Is there any way to redeploy the engine without
having to wipe everything out?  the last time I tried I got about 75%
through it but the gluster storage info didn't auto-populate on a second
run so I had to put it in manually but failed on a later step.
