Question: Are the hosted-engine flags "--ansible-extra-vars=he_offline_deployment" & "--ansible-extra-vars=he_pause_host" mutually exclusive? The reason I ask is that when I run "hosted-engine --deploy --4 --ansible-extra-vars=he_offline_deployment=true --ansible-extra-vars=he_pause_host=true" the script runs into the "DNF Timeout" issue I mentioned in the `Local (Deployment) VM Can't Reach "centos-ceph-pacific" Repo`, and running "hosted-engine --deploy --4 --ansible-extra-vars=he_offline_deployment=true" doesn't encounter that issue. In other words, I can't do what you suggest (thank you for the suggestion, btw) because I either run into the "DNF Timeout" issue (and thus don't get anywhere near being able to log into the the engine), or I can't set "--ansible-extra-vars=he_pause_host" to true. Any ideas? Cheers Dulux-Oz
