i used "offline" and "pause" , set up squid on the deploy host,
modified the repository files in the fresh temporary engine VM to point to our satellite.
It worked fine to the point the deploy denies that "offline" parameter and
updated the repository package, overwriting my changes...
Sorry, I do not remember where this is done. Did you check the logs?
.and aborted due to a non reachable repository
Maybe i could put the repository package on the ignore list.
Maybe
Providing an own OVA may be a solution. Install a VM, run engine setup to install all
neded packages, export as OVA and provide it to the deploy process and let it refill the
engine with my backup file. Is it as simple as that?
More-or-less yes, in principle. See also
https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-appliance/ .
I need to upgrade to 4.5 soon anyways, a direct upgrade from 4.3 to 4.5 is not possible i
assume?
Sorry, do not remember either... A quick search finds:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2087735
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2072881
https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/pull/244
So it might work.
Good luck and best regards,
