It is useful information, but it doesn't help in this case.

Every one also seems to have missed the point, this is not about recovering
a broken hosted engine.

The problem I ran into is installing a NEW self hosted engine on physical
hosts that had already been configured in the old cluster.
(because of storage and network changes, but the reason doesn't really
matter)

What happened:

Ovirt UI:
   Shutdown all VMS
   Maintenance Mode / Detach storage domains
   Remove all physical hosts from cluster except the one running HE
   Switch to HE Engine global maintenance

On last physical host:
    hosted-engine --vm-poweroff

On all physical hosts:
    ovirt-hosted-engine-cleanup


- Physical network changes to all hosts

Power on "host 1", (expectation deploy a new SHE on a new storage domain)

# hosted-engine --deploy
...
...
[ INFO  ] TASK [ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Fail with error description]
[ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "The
host has been set in non_operational status, deployment errors:   code
9000: Failed to verify Power Management configuration for Host
physhost01.example.com,   fix accordingly and re-deploy."}

At this point after removing the host from the old cluster I don't/didn't
expect legacy configuration to be left lurking in places unknown.
In this case it's a power management configuration that wasn't cleaned up
that's stopping the very first SHE from being deployed.  Although I'mn sure
there is a raft of 'unclean' configuration left behind when a host is
removed from a cluster.


The only way I could get SHE to redeploy onto the same hardware was to do a
full clean OS install and basically start from scratch.
