The only place I know of that removes the appliance is in the end of hosted-engine deployment, not ovirt-hosted-engine-cleanup: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1676825 You should be able to prevent that by passing --ansible-extra-vars=he_remove_appliance_rpm=false . I didn't try that. You can also prevent _installing_ (or trying to update) the appliance rpm by passing the ova path as he_appliance_ova (or OVEHOSTED_VM/ovfArchive), e.g.: hosted-engine --deploy --otopi-environment=OVEHOSTED_VM/ovfArchive=str:/path/to/file.ova hosted-engine --deploy --ansible-extra-vars=he_appliance_ova=/path/to/file.ova See e.g. https://gerrit.ovirt.org/c/ovirt-system-tests/+/115589 > > If you're operating disconnected, security bugs won't scare you, which is > where most of the updates are coming from.
