Hi,

I did not select any CPU architecture. It doenst gove me the option to select one. It only states the number of virtual CPUs and the memory for the engine VM.

Looking at the documentation of installing ovirt-release36.rpm....it does allow you to select te CPU, but not when installing ovirt-release42.rpm

what did you select as your CPU architecture when you created the cluster?  It looks like the VM is trying to use a CPU type of "Custom", how many nodes in your cluster?  I suggest you specify the lowest common denominator of CPU architecture (e.g. Sandybridge) of the nodes as the CPU architecture of the cluster..
