Description daturece 2020-08-21 08:43:01 UTC 
The two below documents, outlining the installation process of Red Hat Virtualizaton Manager with either local or remote DB are missing any mention of ppc64 and only show examples of x86_64:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4/html/installing_red_hat_virtualization_as_a_standalone_manager_with_local_databases/installing_the_red_hat_virtualization_manager_sm_localdb_deploy

Yeah, we want to know if we need to also mention ppc64le arch repo configuartion in these 2 docs:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4/html/installing_red_hat_virtualization_as_a_standalone_manager_with_local_databases/installing_the_red_hat_virtualization_manager_sm_localdb_deploy#Enabling_the_Red_Hat_Virtualization_Manager_Repositories_install_RHVM

I canceled needinfo for daturece@, since we are in the same team, and he is on PTO now, so I replied this bug yesterday, maybe I missed the repo names here:

# subscription-manager repos \
    --disable='*' \
    --enable=rhel-8-for-ppc64le-appstream-rpms
    --enable=rhel-8-for-ppc64le-baseos-rpms
    --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 

And I think there is no power9 for RHEL8, so maybe we only need to put one part(power8) for ppc64le arch.

Comment 5 Martin Perina 2020-08-25 19:38:32 UTC 
We don't support hosted engine or standalone engine on ppc64le hosts, engine can run on x86_64 only.
Comment 6 Fengshuang Tan 2020-09-07 06:30:55 UTC 
Waiting for the response of bug 1871055 to decide closing it as notabug or adding ppc64le arch to show how to use repos on arch ppc64le.
