[ovirt-users] Ovirt Hosted Engine - Offline Deployment

[will . roberts]

Hi Team,

I need some help deploying Ovirt Hosted Engine. I have installed Ovirt Node 
4.5.4 on my intel NUC as a small development environment for a bigger project.

I am not able to connect the NUC to the internet but am able to download any 
relevant packages onto a hard drive and connect this to the system.

I have attempted to deploy Hosted Engine via the CLI with the following 
command: "hosted-engine --deploy --4
--ansible-extra-vars=he_offline_deployment=true". This Fails as it is unable to 
resolve the URL for the mirror? I feel as though I must be missing some 
pre-deployment step which changes the repo path but my knowledge in this area 
is definitely not where it needs to be. I've trolled through the internet but 
cant find any sort of documentation which details the involved steps.

Does anyone have any knowledge on how do accomplish this with my previously 
mentioned restrictions?

[ovirt-users] oVirt Hosted Engine Offline Deployment

[Andrew Lamarra]

Hi there. I'm trying to get oVirt up & running on a server in a network that 
has no access to the Internet. We do host mirrors of CentOS 7 & 8 repos (no 
Stream). I first tried the latest version of oVirt 4.4, however, I ran into an 
issue when trying to do the Hosted Engine deployment. The command I used was 
"hosted-engine --deploy --ansible-extra-vars=he_offline_deployment=true". But 
at some point, I get the following error:

[ INFO  ] DNF Errors during downloading metadata for repository 
'ovirt-4.4-centos-ceph-pacific':
   - Status code: 404 for 
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8-stream/storage/x86_64/ceph-pacific/repodata/repomd.xml
[ ERROR ] DNF Failed to download metadata for repo 
'ovirt-4.4-centos-ceph-pacific': Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download 
repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried

Seems like it's still trying to download something from the CentOS 8 Stream 
repo. So I figured that since we have the CentOS 7 repos hosted, I'll try oVirt 
v4.3. However, I don't see an option to do an "offline deployment" with this 
version. It says the "--ansible-extra-vars" option is invalid. I tried doing a 
regular deployment but it tries downloading from the oVirt repo:

[ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.hosted_enging_setup : Install ovirt-engine-appliance rpm]
[ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => ["attempts": 10, "changed": false, 
"msg": "Failure talking to yum: cannot retrieve metalink for repository: 
ovirt-4.3-epel/x86_64. Please verify its path and try again"}

I can bring over a mirror of the ovirt-4.3 repo. I also see that there's some 
other repos in the "ovirt-4.3-dependencies.repo" file. Are those required for 
deploying the hosted engine VM as well? Or does anyone know if there's a way to 
do this deployment completely offline?

Thank you for your time.
