Hello Sharing for anyone who needs it, this was carried out on OL7, they use ovirt 4.3
In short: both the hosted-engine deployment routine and the host add to cluster routine distribute public ssh keys to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys regardless of the AuthorizedKeysFile setting in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Both routines fail if AuthorizedKeysfile is not default. The hosted-engine setup assumes AuthorizedKeysFile to be default (~/.ssh/authorized_keys) and creates a public key there, instead of following the sshd_config directive. The setup fails on the back of this. Once I commented this out of sshd_config file (assumes default) and restarted sshd on the KVM host that was running the hosted-engine deployment, the hosted-engine setup completed successfully. Similarly, I could not deploy a second KVM host to the compute cluster until I had altered this setting on that 2nd KVM host - presumably that process has some similar routine that unwittingly writes keys to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.
