You might want to check the project's source code: https://github.com/ovirt/ovirt-appliance/ Or study the logs of a CI build of it: https://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/ovirt-appliance_master_build-artifacts-el7-...

I tried to import ovirt-engine-appliance ova(ovirt-engine-appliance-4.3-20190610.1.el7.ova) from ovirt-engine, but I got error as following: Failed to load VM configuration from OVA file: /var/tmp/ovirt-engine-appliance-4.2-20190121.1.el7.ova No idea why this failed. I guess ovirt-engine-appliance-4.2-20190121.1.el7.ova has more than CentOS7.6. It has CentOS + oVirt engine. The only major use for it is by hosted-engine --deploy. In theory you can try importing it elsewhere, but I do not recall reports about people that tried this and whether it works. Best regards,
