I don't use ansible for the deployment of the hosted engine right now, but like I said the ovirt-hosted-engine-setup:command.

Can you tell me where I can find the required ansible plays, then I'll try.

Hi Didi, thanks for your input, sadly this doesn't change anything of the described behavior. (Also just to mention: It takes way less then a second to get to the cleanup - in case this provides some hints)

For anyone stumbling upon this at a later point: This workaround might work for you, if you made changes to /etc/dnf/dnf.conf for dnf to work on your CentOS8 instance. In our case the problem was the proxy authentication method dnf uses.
