Fixed In Version: ovirt-engine-4.4.0.3
Doc Type: Known Issue
Doc Text:
Known issue: Unsubscribed RHVH hosts do not get package updates when you perform a 'Check for upgrade' operation. Instead, you get a 'no updates found' message. This happens because RHVH hosts that are not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management (RHSM) do not have repos enabled. Workaround: To get updates, register the RHVH host with Red Hat Subscription Management (RHSM).

Chen, looking at host deploy logs looks like the host wasn't registered, no repositories available.
Can you confirm?

Sandro,

You are right, after RHVH registered, host can up. Is this necessary steps for register 4.3 host to 4.4 engine?
If so, I'd like close this bug as NOT A BUG.

We used to have an offline deploy mode provided by ovirt-host-deploy, I don't know enough well the ansible implementation of the deploy flow.
Dana, is the subscription now a must have? If so, can you open a doc bug to cover it?

I'm not aware of any offline deploy mode in classic host deploy. I remember that RHVH could be registered into engine using some UI/command line on RHVH itself, but administrators still need to perform Install/Reinstall on those nodes to become operational.

Comment 7 RHEL Program Management 2020-05-07 09:17:04 UTC
The documentation text flag should only be set after 'doc text' field is provided. Please provide the documentation text and set the flag to '?' again.

Comment 8 Michal Skrivanek 2020-05-07 12:19:44 UTC
so what is it that breaks it, actually?

Comment 9 Martin Perina 2020-05-07 12:23:47 UTC
For some unknown reason we are supporting RHVH installation without any subscription attached. We have updated host deploy to support that (no checks about updates), but check-for-upgrade will just be broken for those RHVHs and will always show errors during check for upgrade.

Comment 10 Dana 2020-05-07 12:56:02 UTC
With the current implementation of check for updates the task doesn't result with an error, but with 'no updates found' message regardless of existing updates

Register 4.3 host to 4.4 engine with 4.3 cluster can succeed, so the bug is fixed. Change bug status to VERIFIED.

Comment 20 Dana 2020-06-29 08:07:22 UTC
I just fixed a typo in the description
Regarding the doc type - it is sort of a combination - the bug of not being able to register the host was fixed by not attempting to download updated packages, and then there's the known issue which is described well, so I suppose it could be either
