It's not completely clear, what you are trying to do. I suppose you
refer to hosted-engine deployment with --restore-from-file.
I do an upgrade vorm 4.3 to 4.4 according to the official oVirt upgrade guide.
the deploy command is as follow:
hosted-engine --deploy --restore-from-file=/root/backup_ovirtman13.bck
IIUC this code runs inside the engine VM, not the host, so your
customizations on the host do not apply there. The appliance image
used for creating the engine VM includes in itself a suitable
ovirt-release package, which also includes the above failing repo.
Does the engine VM (via the host it's running on) have direct access
to the Internet? Or do you force all comm to go through your satellite
proxy?
The hosts do not have direct access to the internet. The new engine have per
default no access to MAN either.
The 4.3 appliance did not need accass for installation, why would one change that...
Anyway, some ways you can try to overcome the situation:
- Run it offline (--ansible-extra-vars=he_offline_deployment=true)
- Provide a custom enginevm_before_engine_setup hook to patch the
configuration. See e.g. how this is done in ovirt-system-tests [1].
- Pass (similarly to above) he_pause_before_engine_setup=true . Should
work since 4.4.7, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1959273
.
What is "offline deployment" doing different, are the necessary packets
transferred internally?

Good luck and best regards,
Can the management bridge switched to another interface after installation? That opens up
some easier ways to enable access to repositories. I know, that in 4.3 is is not possible
to do that.
...i miss the option to install the engine during deploy with OS .iso file ;)
at least that pause parameter will give me the chance to fix the repositories
best regards
