Description of problem: According to bug 1368420, due to rhv-h update rpm is large, it maybe failed to upgrade RHVH via RHN if the network is not good, so suggest rhv-h to reduce deptree to reduce update rpm. For example, we can get rid of unnecessary packages, such as x11 etc. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:

I think we have already a bug for that (or it is the appliance image?). Certainly if we can remove groups (such as X11? why is it indeed there?) it'd be great, but I would not spend more than that - this is exactly blacklisting we worked too hard on in previous RHEVH.
We examined using deltarpms for both appliance and RHV-H, but deltarpm doesn't seem to understand how to compare disk images, and the delta is actually larger than the initial RPM. This may be a good target for an RFE. We're not actually able to reduce the size of RHV-H in this way, though. Our list of dependencies is extremely small (see below). Any other package is pulled in as a dependency of these somewhere. libX11/gtk2, for example, are pulled in by redhat-release-virtualization-host-content->vdsm->virt-v2v->(pile of X11 libs) In order to effectively reduce the size, we need to file RFEs against the appropriate components to get the deps dropped. The only low-hanging fruit is dropping wireless firmwares, which saves ~25MB, or 5% of the size, and is something we can/should do from the RHV-H side. %packages --excludedocs --ignoremissing @anaconda-tools dracut-config-generic -dracut-config-rescue # The RHV-H Entry Point Package redhat-release-virtualization-host redhat-release-virtualization-host-content redhat-virtualization-host-image-update-placeholder %end Requires: efibootmgr Requires: grub2-efi Requires: memtest86+ Requires: syslinux Requires: efibootmgr Requires: shim # Anaconda in RHEL assumes that openscap is available, # thus we need to include it as well. # Bug-Url: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1331354 Requires: openscap Requires: openscap-utils Requires: scap-security-guide # Core RHV requirements Requires: imgbased Requires: ovirt-node-ng-nodectl Requires: vdsm Requires: vdsm-gluster Requires: ovirt-hosted-engine-setup Requires: cockpit-ovirt-dashboard Requires: firewalld Requires: glusterfs Requires: glusterfs-fuse Requires: glusterfs-rdma Requires: NetworkManager-config-server Requires: mailx Requires: postfix Requires: sysstat # Additional RHV requirements Requires: virt-who Requires: iotop Requires: subscription-manager Requires: redhat-access-insights Requires: vdsm-hook-fcoe Requires: vdsm-hook-vhostmd Requires: vdsm-hook-openstacknet Requires: vdsm-hook-ethtool-options Requires: vdsm-hook-vmfex-dev # Enable FIPS Requires: dracut-fips # Requirements to enable services Requires: audit Requires: rsyslog Requires(post): systemd

Closing can't fix. We got new packages related to metrics and katello agent to be added in 4.2, so we can only increase the size, not reduce it.
