tl;dr Where can I find a compatible set of host packages and
hosted-engine image? What is the recommended combination to use for new
installs?
First, some background:
I've been trying to get a new oVirt 4.5.5 install on Rocky 9 hosts using
a hosted engine. My first few attempts failed because the engine image
(ovirt-engine-appliance-4.5-20231201120201.1.el9) was still based on
CentOS8-stream. Using
--ansible-extra-vars=he_pause_before_engine_setup=true I was able to
redirect the repos to vault.centos.org. This helped, but still failed
when the engine tried to access the host:
2024-11-06 17:05:53,600-0600 DEBUG

ansible_utils._process_output:109 {'msg': 'Host is not up, please check
logs, perhaps also on the engine machine', '_ansible_no_log': False,
'changed': False}

ansible_utils._process_output:113 fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! =>
{"changed": false, "msg": "Host is not up, please check logs,

...and the logs on the engine throw a NetworkNotFoundError while trying
to set up OVN:
"stdout" : "fatal: [hv1-mgmt.cds.ligo-la.caltech.edu]: FAILED! =>

Ok, so then I think to myself that I should be using a newer engine
image. I installed
ovirt-engine-appliance-4.5-20240817071039.1.el9.x86_64.rpm and tried
again. But of course that failed because the host and engine now have
incompatible versions:
[ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg":
