Error creating local storage domain: Internal Engine Error.

Hello. I'm new to ovirt and trying to set up a sandbox on an old Dell workstation I have. Any help greatly appreciated. I have created a 4.2 Compatible DC and Cluster. I'm able to add the host and that checks in OK. Its an older system hence going with 4.2 for processor support. When I try to a local storage domain, it fails. The error returned to the screen is : Error while executing action New Local Storage Domain: Internal Engine Error The process gets as far as creating some files and directories in the directory I'm trying to configure as a local storage domain. I notice in the UI, the format of the domain is specified as v4. (This option is greyed out and I cannot modify it). This is an excerpt of the engine.log, with the error the first line of which seems to be indicating its trying to use a v5 format ..... 019-08-07 23:21:24,618+01 WARN [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.storage.domain.AttachStorageDomainToPoolCommand] (default task-56) [67e87701] Validation of action 'AttachStorageDomainToPool' failed for user SYSTEM.

Hi Barman, Can you please attach a full engine log? Also attaching a screenshot would be great. *Regards,* *Shani Leviim* On Thu, Aug 8, 2019 at 2:44 PM <christian_barr@hotmail.com> wrote:

Hi Barman, It seems that for local DC, the storage type selected is the latest one (v5) by default, and this one should be changed. Please open a bug in the Bugzilla for that: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/, and reply back its track id. *Regards,* *Shani Leviim* On Thu, Aug 8, 2019 at 3:36 PM Shani Leviim <sleviim@redhat.com> wrote:

Hi. I have opened a bug as suggested. Bug 1739134 Thanks for your support.

I think Storage format V5 is supported from ovirt-4.3.3.2 and vdsm-4.30.10 onwards. On Thu, Aug 8, 2019 at 8:49 PM <christian_barr@hotmail.com> wrote:
