Description Jiri Belka 2015-06-04 10:06:42 UTC
Description of problem:

~~~
          Please specify path to OVF archive you would like to use [None]: /usr/share/ovirt-engine-appliance/ovirt-engine-appliance-20150603.0-1.el7.centos.ova
~~~

I suppose we could have a list with "known" OVA paths and search for them and them offer them.

Proposal for something like this:

~~~
          Please specify the device to boot the VM from (cdrom, disk, pxe) [cdrom]: disk
...snip...
          Would you like to use 
          /usr/share/ovirt-engine-appliance/ovirt-engine-appliance-20150603.0-1.el7.centos.ova
          as your OVF archive (Yes, No)[Yes]?:No
          Please specify path to OVF archive you would like to use [None]: /tmp/supercool.ova
...snip...

Should be a piece of case to have a list with path globs for "know" ova files and offer them by default.

With this change we same users time:
- no need to know the path of ova file from rpm (i suppose most of them would use rpm)
- copy/paste

I want to just hit enter. Good setup/installer is just hitting enter.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-1.3.0-0.0.master.20150518075146.gitdd9741f.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. pretend you don't know how to list files of ovirt-engine-appliance rpm which you installed
2. hosted-engine --deploy
3. select disk for engine vm

Actual results:
have to paste full path of ova file

Expected results:
just hit enter, time is money and we are enterprise
