To use the appliance proceed as follows:

2. Either use the ova in combination with hosted-engine or extract the ova image
3. When the image is booted

./etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/10-appliance.conf
./usr/share/doc/ovirt-engine-appliance
./usr/share/doc/ovirt-engine-appliance/ovirt-engine-appliance-manifest-rpm
./usr/share/ovirt-engine-appliance
./usr/share/ovirt-engine-appliance/ovirt-engine-appliance-4.5-20240131072037.1.el9.ova
