Hi, Can someone tell me how to generate ovirt-engine-appliance ova file in ovirt-engine-appliance-4.3-20190610.1.el7.x86_64.rpm?

I tried to import ovirt-engine-appliance ova(ovirt-engine-appliance-4.3-20190610.1.el7.ova) from ovirt-engine, but I got error as following: Failed to load VM configuration from OVA file: /var/tmp/ovirt-engine-appliance-4.2-20190121.1.el7.ova

I guess ovirt-engine-appliance-4.2-20190121.1.el7.ova has more than CentOS7.6.

Hi David,

Thanks for your info.

I tried to import ovirt-engine-appliance ova(ovirt-engine-appliance-4.3-20190610.1.el7.ova) from ovirt-engine, but I got error as following: Failed to load VM configuration from OVA file: /var/tmp/ovirt-engine-appliance-4.2-20190121.1.el7.ova No idea why this failed. I guess ovirt-engine-appliance-4.2-20190121.1.el7.ova has more than CentOS7.6. It has CentOS + oVirt engine. The only major use for it is by hosted-engine --deploy. In theory you can try importing it elsewhere, but I do not recall reports about people that tried this and whether it works. Best regards,

What system are you running `make` on ?  There's some logic before that iirc (like which repos to install from etc).  Basically, ovirt-appliance/automation/build-artifacts.sh is the place to go.

Sorry, I never tried to build it myself, nor have experience with livemedia-creator. As I wrote above, I suggest to compare your output/result with that of oVirt CI. Otherwise, I'd probably start debugging by searching the net for the error messages you received.
