Here's the general gist of what I've done so far:

graphical install from el8 and el9 iso, using as few modifications as possible with dhcp networking.

3.6TB of disk space for ovirt install dest.

system comes up, dashboard is online, i try to deploy hosted engine, no dice.

it's similar to this:

ok, so i go for cli install

i manually install ovirt-engine-appliance and that seems to go ok

i kick off ovirt-hosted-engine-setup and follow the prompts

i watch the logs and such and seems to be ok

i have to make entry in /etc/hosts to have new hostname for not yet built hosted engine VM to resolve to IP address ( I don't have "real" DNS at the moment)

that succeeds but then new engine VM is spun up in new IP subnet 192.168.222.0/24 that is different from primary 192.168.1.0/24 not sure why.

i am at a point where i can't get a GUI to the hosted engine IP because it's only available to the internal adapter on the node.

i feel like the installers in the el8 and el9 iso's is just completely b0rked.

what am I doing wrong?

oh, and where is everyone at in the IRC chat room?

thanks,

Chris
