Please provide more details - what did you install, what did you run, what was the error message, relevant snippets from relevant logs, etc. Thanks. It might be enough to pre-install the appliance package.

The only place I know of that removes the appliance is in the end of hosted-engine deployment, not ovirt-hosted-engine-cleanup: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1676825 You should be able to prevent that by passing --ansible-extra-vars=he_remove_appliance_rpm=false . I didn't try that. You can also prevent _installing_ (or trying to update) the appliance rpm by passing the ova path as he_appliance_ova (or OVEHOSTED_VM/ovfArchive), e.g.: hosted-engine --deploy --otopi-environment=OVEHOSTED_VM/ovfArchive=str:/path/to/file.ova hosted-engine --deploy --ansible-extra-vars=he_appliance_ova=/path/to/file.ova See e.g. https://gerrit.ovirt.org/c/ovirt-system-tests/+/115589 > > If you're operating disconnected, security bugs won't scare you, which is > where most of the updates are coming from.

[ovirt-users] Re: oVirt Hosted Engine Offline Deployment
You would do good to mirror everything that oVirt is using, especially if you want to install/rebuild while remaining offline. The 1.1 GB file you mention is the oVirt appliance initial machine image, which unfortunately seems to get explicitly deleted from time to time, most likely the official clean-up scripts I use, whenever a deployment failed and I want to restart from a clean sheet. If you're operating disconnected, security bugs won't scare you, which is where most of the updates are coming from. A good frozen CentOS7 repo state can last a long time, but sometimes even those are glitchy so you need to test thoroughly before going completely offline. oVirt 4.3 is *very* stable (nothing done any more), but not free of bugs. You may be lucky and in an offline mode the combination may be good... until you want online again or add hardware too novel. It's how I operate currently with most of my oVirt installations: CentOS7.latest and oVirt-4.3.last-with-bugs, because I want to test stuff in the VMs not underneath the hypervisor (and I am mostly using recycled producation hardware to support a lab). ___ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/N2IV4ZR5ZO4XJTMQNFVNRZ3LS7Q7W3SI/
[ovirt-users] Re: oVirt Hosted Engine Offline Deployment
The offline install mode should work in both 4.3 and 4.4 .About CentOS Stream ... it is as it is. You can use any EL8 distro (for example RHEL8 with the new developer subscription, the company can have up to 16 physical prod systems).4.3 is not supported which means that it has no bug fixes, thus consider 4.4 Best Regards,Strahil Nikolov On Sun, Aug 15, 2021 at 18:41, Marcel d'Heureuse wrote: ___ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/WGTGIJSCV7PTGHJ65JDRBN3AYT3ETALX/ ___ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/6X64FHVFLKUZ4HVOZAMATFPKOH7BZKDR/
[ovirt-users] Re: oVirt Hosted Engine Offline Deployment
Moin, We require a stable Centos Version and we selected Centos 7. I think the 4.4 is moved to Centos 8 and i am not sure if you can deploy it offline with the stream in background. We use the Ovirt Node installer for the servers with an Kickstart file and after the bare metal installation we start do to a lot with ansible but not the gluster deployment and the hosted engine deployment. Good working ansible scripts are missing yet. but if you have Ovirt 4.4 running without any internet activities please give me an information.

[ovirt-users] Re: oVirt Hosted Engine Offline Deployment
Moin, There is a package which you need to install before you deploy the engine. It is round 1,1 GB RPM file where the engine vm is implemented. For offline Installation we use the ovirt Version 4.3.9. And remove the ovirt repos because you will lose a lot of time because he try to found euch mirror. Starts in us and stopps in Japan.
