During Deploy of hosted-engine 4.5.7 under Almalinux 10.1 x86_64_v2:
hosted-engine --deploy --4 --restore-from-file=260204-backup.tar.gz
--config-append=260204-answers-deploy.conf
above other issue there is this "freeze" under Wait for the local VM.
root@ovirt-node4:/var/log/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup# rpm -qa | grep
ovirt-hosted-engine-setup
ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-2.7.3-0.0.master.20251020093656.gitb8855de.el10.noarch
I patched a module:
diff -c
/usr/share/ansible/collections/ansible_collections/ovirt/ovirt/roles/hosted_engine_setup/tasks/bootstrap_local_vm/03_engine_initial_tasks.yml{.orig,}

And after timeout there is the answer (in my case) - while with 5 sec and 3600
seconds the module freezed -:
[ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Register the engine FQDN as a
