RHEV 3.1 : hypervisor offline installation failed

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • I have a problem with the integration of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.4 with hypervisor packages, to the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV) manager 3.1 in offline mode, with the following message:
>> Failed to install Host <hostname>. Step: RHEV_INSTALL.  

followed by an ssh error:

>> Host <hostname> installation failed. SSH command failed while executing at host '<hostname>', refer to logs for further information.

To do that, I follow the instructions given in the Red Hat product documentation until, later the instructions for RHEV offline installation from here .

In few words:

  • I download the RHEVH packages from the RHN.
  • I create a repository
  • I install those packages on a basic Linux 6.4 as an hypervisor without RHN connexion.

The installation packages performed with success status, but when I try to add the host to the manager,
the installation is interrupted after the Supported kernel version step. From the vds_bootstrap.py file. So I check the engine.log file and I see those following errors messages:
