Sorry for lack of detail. This is an install of a node on vanilla Oracle Linux 7.5 (which is RH 7.5 for these purposes) enterprise server. The exact message is: An error has occurred during installation of Host myhost: Failed to execute stage 'Setup validation': Distribution oracle version 7.5 is not supported. [root@sn02 conf]# pwd /usr/share/ovirt-engine/conf And the diff. [root@sn02 conf]# diff osinfo-defaults.properties osinfo-defaults.properties.orig 169,173d168 < os.ol7_5.id.value = 34 < os.ol7_5.name.value = Oracle Linux 7.5 < os.ol7_5.derivedFrom.value = rhel_6x64 < os.ol7_5.devices.display.vramMultiplier.value = 2 <

You are trying to add a new host right and not adding a new type of guest os? I think that's the confusion here. You install would have to match the file we maintain in ovirt-host-deploy/src/plugins/ovirt-host-deploy/vdsm/software.py @util.export class Plugin(plugin.PluginBase): """Software prerequisites plugin.""" _SUPPORTED = [ { 'distro': ('redhat', 'centos'), 'version': '7.0', }, { 'distro': ('fedora', ), 'version': '22', }, { 'distro': ('ibm_powerkvm', ), 'version': '2.1.0', }, ] You can hack it in https://gerrit.ovirt.org/ovirt-host-deploy On Tue, 10 Jul 2018 at 23:02 <bob.bownes(a)oracle.com&gt; wrote:

I suspect you'd have more things to modify later, but this should be a good start. > > Thanks > _______________________________________________ > Devel mailing list -- devel(a)ovirt.org > To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave(a)ovirt.org > Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/site/privacy-policy/ > oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ > List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/devel@ovirt.org/message/TDBYU7DJGUF...
