Should have replied to the main thread before, my b.
Switching to centos 8 stream did the trick! I had to add the release44.rpm again, but
after the ovirt-hosted-engine-setupp.noarch install, I was able to run `hosted-engine
--deploy`!
Inside that hosted-engine command, the setup is failing at "Detecting host timezone.
Please provide FQDN you would like to use...".
I did the default "enter", and it says:
Failed to execute stage 'Environment customization': Empty strings are not
supported!
But I'll poke at it again tonight/tomorrow, just wanted to update here. I haven't
had a chance to poke at that at ALL yet. I'm more-so curious if I'm on the right
path for a single-machine install, and wanted to update you all on the CentOS fix.
Thanks!
