Hi Strahil,

Thanks for your reply.

Can you share the procedure of creating ovirt-engine-appliance ova?


Thanks,

Jingjie

Based on my experience - the OVA contains the xml and the actual disk of the hosted engine. Then the deployment starts locally the VM and populates the necessary data in it Once it's over , the deployment shuts down and copies the disk of that local VM, undefines it and then ovirt's ha agents are being configured - so they can mount the shared storage and power up the VM (special tar /OVMF/ file on shared storage has the agent  configuration file).

So , in the ova there should be a  template VM + the xml config (cpus, ram, devices, etc) .

I would be surprised if there is something else in it.

    Hi Strahil,

    Yes, you are right.

    After install ovirt-engine-appliance rpm, the ova file will be
    save at
    
/usr/share/ovirt-engine-appliance/ovirt-engine-appliance-4.3-20190610.1.el7.ova

    I was trying to understand what the ova file included.

    I thought it only has the CentOS7.6.

    I observed that ovirt-engine was installed during "host-engine
    --deploy"

    Is ovirt-engine-appliance-4.3-20190610.1.el7.ova only used for
    deploy host-engine?

    Is there a document about how to generate?


    Thanks,

    Jingjie

    If I'm not wrong, this rpm is being downloaded to one of the hosts
    during self-hosted engine's deployment.
    Why would you try to import a second self-hosted engine ?

    Hi,
    Can someone tell me how to generate ovirt-engine-appliance ova
    file in ovirt-engine-appliance-4.3-20190610.1.el7.x86_64.rpm?
    I tried to import ovirt-engine-appliance
    ova(ovirt-engine-appliance-4.3-20190610.1.el7.ova) from
    ovirt-engine, but I got error as following:
    Failed to load VM configuration from OVA file:
    /var/tmp/ovirt-engine-appliance-4.2-20190121.1.el7.ova

    I guess ovirt-engine-appliance-4.2-20190121.1.el7.ova has more
    than CentOS7.6.

    Thanks,
    Jingjie
