Hello,

I've a Epyc-based Supermicro Server that should act as ovirt host by
using ovirt-node-next installed on ISCSI Boot Target. I already
installed an EFI bootable OS (Ubuntu 16.04) on the Hardware using ISCSI
Target as Boot-Disk. So far that works.

If I try to install ovirt-node-next (tried
ovirt-node-ng-installer-ovirt-4.2-2018032906.iso,
ovirt-node-ng-installer-ovirt-4.2-2018040306.iso mounted via KVM as CD)
I'm not able to use auto-partitioning nor manual partitioning to set the
system up. Accessing the ISCSI Target (50GB) works. I created all the
mount-points, including /boot and EFI System Partition /boot/efi. The
installer automatically proposes /, /var /home and swap on thinpool LVMs
which is ok.

After having it ready the installer either doesn't accept "Done" as if
no EFI Partition was prepared. If I highlight the EFI Partition and
click Done it works but the Installer overview doesn't allow to start
installation and storage configuration ist marked with a warning sign.

The system is booted definitely via EFI from th installer CD.

Bye
