[ovirt-users] Hosted-engine ISO domain

[Donny Davis]

I think it is in the answer file
/etc/ovirt-engine-setup.conf.d/20-setup-ovirt-post.conf
OVESETUP_CONFIG/isoDomainExists=bool:True

You are correct about the iso domain not being available until the data center is up, and this requires a data domain. He had said in an earlier thread he does not see it in the UI at all.

I'm no expert, just speaking from my experiences with ovirt.

Did you find this documented anywhere?

It's not supported. I can't tell you what exactly happens if you try it.

If you check the code, you see in constants.py:

    @osetupattrs(
        postinstallfile=True,
    )
    def ISO_DOMAIN_EXISTS(self):
        return 'OVESETUP_CONFIG/isoDomainExists'

Note there is no 'answerfile=True' there. This means that while this key _can_ be supplied as you suggested, it's not written to the answer file and should basically be treated as internal data.

Re the original question - are you sure you do not see it anywhere in the web admin gui? On a first clean setup, it will not be available immediately. You will see it under the "storage" tab but will only be able to attach it after you create and attach a data domain. Did you follow [1] at least once?
