It's not obvious, but when you first boot a node, you need to "edit 
network" in the Hosts tab and attach the Nics to the Networks manually.

To remove a node you need to :
-remove it in  the kerberos database using the shell : kadmin.local -p 
ovirtadmin (type ? for help)
-remove it in the freeipa database in  /usr/share/ipa/html/*-libvirt.tab
- remove it in ovirt database using 
/usr/share/ovirt-server/script/console production or directly in 
postgres CLI

But I'd rather recommend running the management server in a VM and 
making a "clean snapshot" with no nodes.
