Hi Marcos, I deployed the KVM hosts using the guide at: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/installing_ovirt_as_a_self-hosted_eng... (section 4.2 Installing Enterprise Linux Hosts) and https://www.ovirt.org/download/install_on_rhel.html Most of the ovirt packages were installed from the installation of the ovirt-engine-appliance. The KVM hosts are using EL 9.3. I've tried on two different EL hosts: one with the standard ovirt-45 repos, and the other had the nightly builds enabled. I observed the same issues on both. I haven't changed any specific settings, such as networking or storage. The full command to deploy the engine VM was done via: hosted-engine --deploy --4 I have just setup glusterfs just as a temporary storage option now (yet to run the deploy again), though I'm not sure how to get ovirt to use it. As mentioned I don't know whether this or the networking is causing it to fail. In case it is important, I notice that virtnetworkd.socket systemd unit gets killed during the deployment, and has to be restarted otherwise the deployment fails prematurely. It also masks all the libvirtd systemd units as part of the cleanup, and these have to manually unmasked and several need manually restarting (virtnetword.socket, virtqemud.socket and virtstoraged.sock) before the deployment is run again or the deploy will fail on trying to communicate with these. Thanks very much for the help, let me know if any further information needed.
