I've been down this road. Postgres won't lie about its version for you. If you want to do this, you have to patch the Ovirt installer[1]. I stopped trying to use my PG cluster at some point - the relationship between the installer and the product combined with the overly restrictive

I still can't resolve this issue. I have a host that is stuck in a cycle; it will be marked non responsive, then come back up, ending with an "finished activation" message in the GUI. Then it repeats. The root cause seems to be sanlock. I'm just unclear on why it started or how to resolve

The key generated by the engine install ended up with a bad CN; it has a five-digit number appended to the host name, and no SAN. I've lived with this through setup, but now I'm getting close to prod use, and need to clean up so that it is usable for general consumption. And the SPICE HTML
