[ovirt-users] Re: Hosted engine deployment fails consistently when trying to download files.

Section 5.3 is not actually needed, the appliance already includes it. > The second document is missing the modules part. (Seems to me to include it as well, but again, it's not needed) > Now I can manually install ovirt-engine on the host. I think you got it wrong. Please see my previous posts in this thread. In particular: 1. You do not need to install ovirt-engine on the host. 2. You should try to see why it failed, on the engine VM. 3. This engine vm should be left running by the failed deploy process, and you can find its IP address by searching the setup logs for 'local_vm_ip'. So please find it, ssh to it from the host (using the root password you supplied), then try 'dnf install ovirt-engine'. If it fails, try to fix the problem. My guess: Some kind of networking/mirror/proxy/whatever issue. For an overview of the current hosted-engine deploy process, you can have a look at "Hosted Engine 4.3 Deep Dive (Simone Tiraboschi)" in: https://www.ovirt.org/community/get-involved/resources/slide-decks.html It was written for 4.3, but most of it applies also for 4.4. Also: The engine package is already part of the appliance, so strictly speaking, we should not try to install it. This is done so that if a newer version is available (e.g. because you installed an older appliance image rpm), you upgrade to the newer version. We have a bug open for allowing to prevent this, not sure about its current status - see also the discussion in the linked github issue: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1816619
