ovirt-engine-appliance Location (Pre-Installation)
Hi All, A couple of Qs: During the `TASK [ovirt.ovirt.engine_setup : Install oVirt Engine package]` stage of the Management Engine deployment, is this trying to install the ovirt-engine-appliance, or something else? When we do a pre-install of the ovirt-engine-appliance (ie dnf install ovirt-engine-appliance) where is this installed too, so that we can enter this information into the deployment script at the `Engine Appliance Image Path` stage? Cheers Dulux-Oz

It's here: https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-ansible-collection/blob/master/roles/engine_s... So - it tries to install 'ovirt-engine'. This is ran inside the engine VM, not on the host.

Not sure what exactly you ask here. (On some somewhat lagging-behind machine: ) # rpm -ql ovirt-engine-appliance /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/10-appliance.conf /usr/share/doc/ovirt-engine-appliance /usr/share/doc/ovirt-engine-appliance/ovirt-engine-appliance-manifest-rpm /usr/share/ovirt-engine-appliance /usr/share/ovirt-engine-appliance/ovirt-engine-appliance-4.5-20220523064055.1.el8.ova So e.g. in this case, I could have responded, to the prompt asking which image to use, '/usr/share/ovirt-engine-appliance/ovirt-engine-appliance-4.5-20220523064055.1.el8.ova'. If you want to make the deploy process not try to install/update packages inside the engine VM, but only use whatever that's inside the appliance image, you can try: # hosted-engine --deploy --ansible-extra-vars=he_offline_deployment=true Best regards, -- Didi
Thanks for that. Yeah, I found the ova file a day or so ago (where you said it would be). On 03/10/2022 17:00, Yedidyah Bar David wrote:
