can hosted engine deploy use local repository mirrors instead of internet ones?
Hi, hosted-engine --deploy is failing as it is trying to connect to mirrorlist.centos.org: [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.engine_setup : Install required packages for oVirt Engine deployment] [ INFO ] ok: [localhost] [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.engine_setup : Install oVirt Engine package] [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost -> 192.168.1.187]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to download metadata for repo 'centos-ceph-pacific': Cannot prepare internal mirrorlist: Curl error (7): Couldn't connect to server for http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=8-stream&arch=x86_64&repo=storage-ceph-pacific [Failed to connect to mirrorlist.centos.org port 80: Connection refused]", "rc": 1, "results": []} Opening up access to the internet is a bureaucratic procedure for us, as would be for adding all the URLs to the proxy. We have a lot of repos mirrored locally - is it possible to get hosted-engine to use the local ones? Is there a list? I had a search for files that might contain these repos in various places, but to no avail. Thanks for any help! Cam
I managed to get the firewall opened, and it progressed from there, but got stuck at "Wait for the host to be up". I found a suggestion of setting '--ansible-extra-vars=he_offline_deployment=true', but then it just failed at an earlier point in the deployment process.
The he_offline_deployment on oVirt does not check for package updates. If you install all the packages in advance, you can use this option.

It is possible, I've done it before. But there are a lot of repos and some of them tend to change every release so it becomes a bit of a cat and mouse game keeping the list updated. It may not be so bad now that oVirt is basically in maintenance mode and new releases are few and far between. In short: install the ovirt-release45 package and take a note of all of the dependent packages. Go through all of the .repo files installed by these packages in /etc/dnf.conf and for each entry with enabled=1 set create local equivalents and put them into your own local-ovirt.repo file. I see 9 such repos on my hosts currently running oVirt 4.5.4 so things aren't quite as bad as they were in the 4.3 days when I originally did this. Put this repo file on your host before you run the hosted engine deploy and it will find all of the packages it needs in your local repos. What I ended up doing instead was just configuring dnf to use an HTTP proxy server has access to the centos repo mirrors. Again this is simpler than it used to be now that everything is consolidated on CentOS repo mirrors instead of spread out across ovirt.org and various copr repos and such.
Hi, Another option is to manipulate your DNS and override remote repos to the local repo server Best Regards,Strahil Nikolov On Sat, Feb 3, 2024 at 3:57, Sketch<ovirt@rednsx.org> wrote: On Mon, 22 Jan 2024, iucounu@gmail.com wrote:
