I can confirm the same behaviour at the Ansible playbook location "Set OVF update interval to 1 minute". From what I can tell this step is supposed to run the following on the engine VM: engine-config -s OvfUpdateIntervalInMinutes 1 I tried to run this command manually: - SSH into the VM's IP address as root and Engine password - execute the command at the prompt I receive the same error message in the following sequence: $ engine-config -s OvfUpdateIntervalInMinutes 1 Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Dcom.redhat.fips=false Index 1 out of bounds for length 1 If I run the following, I should get a list of all parameters: $ engine-config --list Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Dcom.redhat.fips=false Index 1 out of bounds for length 1 This fails with the same error sequence. I am running a CentOS Stream 9 minimal installation and following instructions known to work against appliance 'ovirt-engine-appliance-4.5-20231201120201.1.el9.x86_64' (which made use of CS8-based repos). I am trying to get things working with the most recent 'ovirt-engine-appliance-4.5-20240817071039.1.el9.x86_64' image downloaded manually as an RPM. I haven't tried to retrace my steps in detail but, running into this error and looking at the list here, I wanted to mention that I was seeing the same. I will try to report back if I find something more and will keep an eye out here as well. Thank you! Dan
