[ovirt-users] Help installing oVirt on single machine, without cockpit

The reply button is taking me to a "mailto" tab again, but hopefully making the subject the same, will put this under the right thread? If not, I'm not sure how to reply on the new system. The original thread is here: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/3L6EVRT4YBEJ..., and it continues here for a bit: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/C4Z65RXLFPOC... . @Strahil Nikolov the engine -> put the host in maintenance -> backup & restore The way I understand the update process, you can't update with a hosted engine unless you have two hosts. One needs to run the engine VM, so the other can go into maintenance. Is this wrong? For my use case, I'm looking for something that'll work/update on a single host. I'm trying to get the engine running next to the hypervisor, so it can run when the VM's come down. I can get the engine running on a CentOS Stream install, but it says it has 0/0 hosts running, so I don't think it can deploy VM's. I can't find a way to install the node's hypervisor package-set either. Unless that package exists, the only other idea I have for this route is doing a "hosted engine" install, but destroy the engine VM and point it to the local engine. This seems extreme to me lol. I tried setting up the engine on a node itself, but the error I can't get past yet is in the second url, top of this message. It can't start the ovirt-imageio service, because of a missing file. Happy Holidays all! Cameron
