Description of problem: When trying to install hosted engine with 4.1 beta RHVH it fails as it cannot locate the install image. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-2.1.0.1-1.el7ev.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RHVH 2. Try installing HE as described in https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.1-beta/html/self-hosted_engine_guide/initiating_self-hosted_engine_deployment_on_rhvh Actual results: Setup fails as the OVA cannot be located and the rpm isn't available in Beta. Expected results: OVA should be located as described in the documentation Additional info: Due to the rpm missing in the beta, it is currently not possible to install hosted engine. Steps needed: 1. Create directory /usr/share/ovirt-engine-appliance/ 2. copy the ova file from the portal there 3. Create file /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/10-appliance.conf The file needs the following content: ~~~ description=<Description> version=<Version String> path=/usr/share/ovirt-engine-appliance/<appliance-ova-name> sha1sum=<sha1sum> ~~~ E.g. for the current rhvm-appliance this looks like: ~~~ description=The oVirt Engine Appliance image (OVA) version=4.1-20170126.0-1.x86_64.rhevm path=/usr/share/ovirt-engine-appliance/rhvm-appliance-20170126.0-1.x86_64.rhevm.ova sha1sum=024258fd91baa9c75297cf6004f1ab65f393bd52 ~~~ So in case you want to manually install the OVA these steps are needed besides the ones mentioned in the documentation.

[root@ovirt1 ovirt-engine-appliance]# As the hosted-engine --deploy does look for an rpm named ovirt-engine-appliance, it is not able to locate the package named rhvm-appliance. I will open an additional bug for this, but our documentation should describe how to download (and install) the rhvm-appliance rpm.
Martin, is this bug still applicable for RC or GA, or has the missing RPM now been included? Let me know if there are any further documentation requirements.
Hi Lucy, I think this is (at least) not applicable for the GA version, as the enablement of the repos should work as expected there.

The missing rpm has always been there, but you needed to explicitely enable the beta channel on the Host/Hypervisor. > > Let me know if there are any further documentation requirements. I believe for beta also no additional clarification is needed, as GA is soon. Thanks! Martin
Thanks for confirming, Martin. Moving this one to CLOSED then.
