I'm using an answer file that i generated first time I tried running it (so that I can provision w/ ansible) I've run into 2 problems. 1: i have to specify the jboss home manually from the cli (didn't see an answer equivalent), even though the ovirt jboss package is installed.

2: Generally speaking it seems to be ignoring several of the answer file config entries. My answers tell it to 'confirm settings' and it runs non-interactively. Plus all the local storage configs seem to be ignored. I'm running ovirt-engine-3.5.1.1-1.el7.centos.noarch Any suggestions?

I wish i had thought to save off the logs, but at least in theory it seemed to be re-produceable. That being said the following changes to my original answer file (OP attachment) and I've got a working environment -OVESETUP_CONFIG/applicationMode=str:both +OVESETUP_CONFIG/applicationMode=str:virt -OVESETUP_CONFIG/storageIsLocal=bool:True +OVESETUP_CONFIG/storageIsLocal=bool:False -OVESETUP_SYSTEM/nfsConfigEnabled=bool:True +OVESETUP_SYSTEM/nfsConfigEnabled=bool:False -OVESETUP_CONFIG/isoDomainMountPoint=str:/var/lib/exports/iso -OVESETUP_CONFIG/isoDomainName=str:ISO_DOMAIN -OVESETUP_CONFIG/isoDomainACL=str:{{ ansible_fqdn }}(rw) +OVESETUP_CONFIG/isoDomainMountPoint=none:None +OVESETUP_CONFIG/isoDomainName=none:None +OVESETUP_CONFIG/isoDomainACL=none:None Some of that is just weird though... storageIsLocal=False? its completely local storage.

But hey.. its working consistently now.
