[ovirt-users] ovirt-hosted-engine-setup with answer file

Fri Oct 10 14:10:46 UTC 2014

<html><bodyHi,

  I'm trying to use:
1) Generate answer file:
   ovirt-hosted-engine-setup --generate-answer=/root/ohe-answers.conf
   (cancel when it asks for confirmation of installation settings)
2) template the ohe-answers.conf
3) make silent/unattended installation with:
   ovirt-hosted-engine-setup --config-append=/root/ohe-answers.conf

I see few points/problems/challenges:
1) Is it possible to suppress question:
[ INFO  ] Stage: Initializing
          Continuing will configure this host for serving as hypervisor
and create a VM where you have to install oVirt Engine afterwards.
          Are you sure you want to continue? (Yes, No)[Yes]:

2) I have already answer none:None for firewall. Is it possible to
suppress question (it's annoying also during upgrades):
          iptables was detected on your computer, do you wish setup to
configure it? (Yes, No)[Yes]: No

3) How can I put the name of hosted engine to the ohe-answers.conf file?
This is not recorded during --generate-answer:
          Enter the name which will be used to identify this host inside
the Administrator Portal [hosted_engine_1]: 

4) Is it possible to suppress also the config confirmation question?
          --== CONFIGURATION PREVIEW ==--
...
          Please confirm installation settings (Yes, No)[Yes]: No

5) Is it possible to instruct ovirt-hosted-engine-setup to stop after
preparation of environment for installing the host_engine and also
second step continue in installation after host_engine installation is
done? You know it's hard for scripts to follow the interactive way.

Any pointer to relevant documentation how to install ovirt hosted engine
as much non-interactive as possible is also welcome.

Thank you for any hint
