Hi,

Ciao Simon,

is there any particular reason to get “yum-utils” (and its dependency) RPM installed during the hosted-engine deployment ? I mean, why don’t we get yum-utils RPM part of the hosted-engine image ? This “yum” process, executed during the deployment, could fail (or wait forever) if the host/engine is behind a proxy — while trying to install the RPMs.

Honestly I'm not aware of that, can you please provide more details? where does it happen? on the host or inside the engine virtual machine? is it going to happen before starting the engine virtual machine or during host-deploy process when the engine is going to configure the host?

I see two options:

- get all the required RPMs part of the hosted-engine image

Do you mean inside ovirt-engine-appliance image? If on host side instead, ovirt-host rpm should instead already require all (but the ovirt-engine-appliance which is about 1 GB) the rpms needed for the deployment.

- add the option to supply a proxy for yum during the hosted-engine setup

configuring a proxy with proxy directive in /etc/yum.conf or http_proxy at

system level is absolutely supported.

Could this be a request for enhancement ?

hosted-engine-setup is already designed to work also in disconnected mode assuming that all the required rpms have been installed upfront. If it fails on that use case, and all the rpms are there, it's definitively a bug.

Thanks
