[oVirt 4.1] oVirt installation and hotplug memory to the hosted-engine VM
Hi, I am testing oVirt 4.1 using oVirt node and oVirt appliance, I have two questions : 1 - Installation process : I found that the installation process has changed regarding the appliance use, it forces the download of the appliance before continuing the installation, but it still offer the use of another image later on, which is somehow disturbing. can the force-download be disabled, When installing the first time, I did download the rpm appliance before starting the hosted-engine deployment, but I had to re-install the nodes, and since I have a poor internet connection and to save time I saved the ova file of the appliance, but I couldn't use later, because the deployment script forces me to download the image again. 2 - Can we hotplug memory on the hosted-engine VM? if yes how? I can edit the VM, but the changes are not taken into account. I then stopped the VM engine and started it again, still the changes are not taken into account, in the webui I have the new value, but free -m shows me the old one. Thanks in advance and thank you all for your work and efforts Regards.
can the force-download be disabled
I will defer to Simone here
2 - Can we hotplug memory on the hosted-engine VM? if yes how?
We do not support hotplug. However, editing the VM in webadmin should trigger a sync that distributes the new settings to all hosted engine nodes. This might take a minute in normal case. A VM restart will then pickup the new values. Please attach the engine.log from the engine machine and agent log from HE node if this does not work for you.

The check is not about the OVA file but the rpm which contains the file. It's enough to save the rpm file and push it to your host.
