[ovirt-users] [oVirt 4.4.6] Offline deployment of hosted engine

[s***@fujitsu.com]

Hello,

I am trying to test oVirt node 4.4.6 inside my company$B!G(Bs network which needs proxy setting for internet access.
Is there any possibility to deploy host engine without any internet access? i.e. Is offline deployment of hosted engine possible?

I have added the following line at the end of the file /usr/share/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/ansible/trigger_role.yml
environment:
https_proxy: "http://<proxy_host>:<proxy_port>"
http_proxy: "http://<proxy_host>:<proxy_port>"

But it gives error in the process of $B!H(Bhosted-engine --deploy$B!I(B. I am not sure if this a typical issue in my company$B!G(Bs network but, it would be great if there is any offline installation method (without accessing internet repository).

I have also tried to use $B!H(Bhosted-engine --deploy --ansible-extra-vars=he_offline_deployment=true$B!I(B but, it is not helping me at all.

With regards

Hello Strahil,

Thank you for your suggestion. Yes, I downloaded ovirt-engine-appliance rpm and installed manually, but it seems that it still tries to access to internet repository as below. Is it possible to do the whole deployment offline?

I think you can download and install the ovirt-engine-appliance rpm (the big one) from https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.4/rpm/el8/x86_64/

in advance.

Please try with:

- appliance installed

- '--ansible-extra-vars=he_offline_deployment=true'

- latest released code (with your custom patch removed)

If it still fails, please open a bug and attach all relevant logs. Thanks!

Hi Didi,
can't we just make ansible check via ansible package facts the status of the appliance and if it's available set to offline mode.
I can take a look in the Ansible code for that purpose.

The "non-offline-mode" is also for updating packages, not only for
appliance installation.

This is especially important because we not always release a new
appliance on new releases, so "non-offline-mode" makes sure you update
to the latest engine prior to engine-setup - and this is especially
important on restore-from-file.

Otherwise , the cockpit installer can have a tick for offline mode.

Indeed.

Best regards,
