There are 2 issues for ppc64le arch 1. no base repos are enabled, in case some dependencies in these base repos, so it's better to enalbe them again after --disable=* rhel-8-for-ppc64le-appstream-rpms rhel-8-for-ppc64le-baseos-rpms Besides, those base repos for x86_64 are enabled after --disable=* in this doc: --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms \ --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms \ 2. There is no power9 for RHEL8, so ppc64le power9 part should be deleted. The latest ppc64le power9 on RHEL7 is RedHatEnterpriseLinuxAlternateArchitectures7&distro=RHEL-ALT-7.6-updates-20190722.1, there is no RHEL-ALT for RHEL8, so there is no ppc64le power9. Yeah, I agree with you, no ppc64le arch for RHVH, but there is for RHVM, so I think maybe we need to add this part into Enabling_the_Red_Hat_Virtualization_Manager_Repositories_install_RHVM part - https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4/html/installing_red_hat_virtualization_as_a_self-hosted_engine_using_the_cockpit_web_interface/installing_the_red_hat_virtualization_manager_she_cockpit_deploy#Enabling_the_Red_Hat_Virtualization_Manager_Repositories_install_RHVM But we still need to confirm with RHV related guys for it before any update. We don't support hosted engine or standalone engine on ppc64le hosts, engine can run on x86_64 only. Eli, As Martin said, they don't (and never did) running RHV Manager on IBM Power hosts, RHV Manager (either standalone or hosted engine) requires x86_64 host/VM to run on. But RHVM 4.4 running on x86_64 supports IBM Power based hypevisors in ppc based clusters running either RHEL 8 (4.2/4.3/4.4 cluster level) or RHEL 7 (4.2/4.3 cluster levels only) Then, what should we do for this bug - delete ppc64le part, or add the based repos: --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms \ --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms \ >

There was a discussion in the past that once we get to RHEL8, there won't be needed to have any distinction between Power 8 (it was supported by RHEL 7) and Power 9 (it was supported by RHEL-ALT 7) and both hypervisors architectures Power 8 and Power 9 should be supported by RHEL 8. So am I missing something there?

The following two chapters, outlining the install proces mention steps for ppc64, though after disabling all the repos, there is no mention of enabling the base repo (rhel-8-for-ppc64le*) for ppc64, as with x86_64 which does have the base repo enabled after disabling everything # subscription-manager repos \ --disable='*' \ --enable=rhv-4-mgmt-agent-for-rhel-8-ppc64le-rpms \ --enable=advanced-virt-for-rhel-8-ppc64le-rpms \ --enable=ansible-2.9-for-rhel-8-ppc64le-rpms # subscription-manager repos \ --disable='*' \ --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms \ --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms \ --enable=rhv-4-mgmt-agent-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms \ --enable=fast-datapath-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms \ --enable=ansible-2.9-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms \ --enable=advanced-virt-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4/html/installing_red_hat_virtualization_as_a_self-hosted_engine_using_the_cockpit_web_interface/installing_the_self-hosted_engine_deployment_host_she_cockpit_deploy https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4/html/installing_red_hat_virtualization_as_a_self-hosted_engine_using_the_command_line/installing_the_self-hosted_engine_deployment_host_she_cli_deploy
