 I still don't get why you need the OVA .Are you trying to extract and put it 
into another virtualization. If this is your intention - better install it as 
if it was a standalone engine.

Hi Strahil,
 
Thanks for your reply.
 
Can you share the procedure of creating ovirt-engine-appliance ova?
 

 
 
Thanks,

Based on my experience - the OVA contains the xml and the actual disk of the 
hosted engine.
 Then the deployment starts locally the VM and populates the necessary data in 
it
 Once it's over , the deployment shuts down and copies the disk of that local 
VM, undefines it and then ovirt's ha agents are being configured - so they can 
mount the shared storage and power up the VM (special tar /OVMF/ file on shared 
storage has the agent  configuration file).
 
So , in the ova there should be a  template VM + the xml config (cpus, ram, 
devices, etc) .
 I would be surprised if there is something else in it.

Hi Strahil,
 
Yes, you are right.
 
 
After install ovirt-engine-appliance rpm, the ova file will be save 
at/usr/share/ovirt-engine-appliance/ovirt-engine-appliance-4.3-20190610.1.el7.ova
 
I was trying to understand what the ova file included. 
 
 
I thought it only has the CentOS7.6.
 
I observed that ovirt-engine was installed during "host-engine --deploy"
 
Is ovirt-engine-appliance-4.3-20190610.1.el7.ova only used for deploy 
host-engine?
 
Is there a document about how to generate?
 

 
 
Thanks,
 
Jingjie

   If I'm not wrong, this rpm is being downloaded to one of the hosts during 
self-hosted engine's deployment. Why would you try to import a second 
self-hosted engine ?

   Hi,
  Can someone tell me how to generate  ovirt-engine-appliance ova file in 
ovirt-engine-appliance-4.3-20190610.1.el7.x86_64.rpm?
  I tried to import ovirt-engine-appliance 
ova(ovirt-engine-appliance-4.3-20190610.1.el7.ova) from ovirt-engine, but I got 
error as following:
  Failed to load VM configuration from OVA file: 
/var/tmp/ovirt-engine-appliance-4.2-20190121.1.el7.ova
  
  I guess ovirt-engine-appliance-4.2-20190121.1.el7.ova has more than 
CentOS7.6. 
  
  Thanks,
  Jingjie
