[org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.HostedEngineImporter] (EE-ManagedThreadFactory-engine-Thread-246) [70276009] Failed importing the Hosted Engine VM It seems to fail in VmValidator.java:469: if (vmBase.getBiosType().getChipsetType() == ChipsetType.Q35 && !osRepository.isQ35Supported(vmBase.getOsId())) { return new ValidationResult(EngineMessage.Q35_NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_GUEST_OS, String.format("$guestOS %1$s", osRepository.getOsName(vmBase.getOsId()))); } I think that vmBase.getBiosType().getChipsetType() leads to the NullPointerException. However, the config of the running Engine VM looks good to me: <sysinfo type='smbios'> <system> <entry name='manufacturer'>oVirt</entry> <entry name='product'>RHEL</entry> <entry name='version'>9.0-18.el9</entry> <entry name='serial'>00000000-0000-0000-0000-ac1f6b24adf6</entry> <entry name='uuid'>251ddbe6-a34e-4fc5-8b48-e1c2dd043c4b</entry> <entry name='family'>oVirt</entry> </system> </sysinfo> <os> <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-rhel8.6.0'>hvm</type> <bios useserial='yes'/> <smbios mode='sysinfo'/> </os> Any ideas?
