Theoretically everything is possible.In this situation I can recommend you to
open an issue as he_offline_deployment=true should really mean offline.
Currently you can modify the Ansible code on the system and modify the repos
pointing to your Satellite.

Everyone,
In my compagny, we try to deploy engine on 2 RHEL8 hosts we already installed.
We don't have direct internet access, so the RHEL8 hosts have been setup using
some internal EL repo (using redhat satellite)
We have also duplicated internaly the necessary ovirt repositories, so all
ovirt packages can be installed.
Now the blocking part is the deployment of the engine. Is it really possible to
deploy an engine without having internet connection?
We tried several time but never succeeded.
I tried with ansible extra var "he_offline_deployment=true", naively thinking
it will download necessary packages for the engine through the repositories
already configured on the physical hosts (like the physical host act as proxy)
I also tried by specifying the ova file with
he_appliance_ova=/usr/share/ovirt-engine-appliance/ovirt-engine-appliance-4.4-20211020135049.1.el8.ova
both options have also been tried together
(--ansible-extra-vars=he_appliance_ova=/usr/share/ovirt-engine-appliance/ovirt-engine-appliance-4.4-20211020135049.1.el8.ova
--ansible-extra-vars=he_offline_deployment=true)
But at the end, it seems the engine deployment process makes the engine to need
to reach the ovirt internet repositories, as it always failed with:
2022-04-24 17:39:53,268+0100 ERROR
otopi.ovirt_hosted_engine_setup.ansible_utils ansible_utils._process_output:110
fatal: [localhost -> 192.168.1.154]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg":
"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", "rc": 1, "results": []}
FYI the pacific repo works fine when we download packages on physical hosts.
ANother thing to know is that before being able to use our internal repo
present on our redhat satellite, a system need to install the satellite
crtificate, and register to satellite.
it would be so nice if we can achieve a fully offline engine deploy (which mean
no internet access at all, including the engine itself), but we start to lack
of clues if it's really possible.
Here are all the ovirt packages installed on the physical hosts:
$rpm -qa | grep ovirt
