ovirt-hosted-engine deploy hangs
by bleuze@enkon.com
This is on a brand new Oracle Linux ver8.10 install on a physical server.
I have completed all the perquisite steps in the instructions at https://docs.oracle.com/en/virtualization/oracle-linux-virtualization-man...
I run the deployment script:
hosted-engine --deploy --4
Answer all the questions and let it run. It runs for about an hour and then hangs at the step:
[ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Create temporary lock file]
[ INFO ] changed: [localhost -> localhost]
[ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Pause execution until /tmp/ansible.yo6aij1p_he_setup_lock is removed, delete it once ready to proceed]
The first time I let it run all night and it was still hung in the morning. I have tried this using the cli command above. I have also tried it using the cockput gui method, both procedures hang at the same place. I have to run /usr/sbin/ovirt-hosted-engine-cleanup after each failure before trying again
I can't find any clues in the logs but perhaps someone can tell me what to look for. I am happy to post the logs here as well.
I assume this is at the point where the temporary Self Hosted engine has been created and is ready to be migrated to the shared storage. The lock placed there until it is successfully moved. But the instructions say that I should be prompted for the "storage you would like to use" I don't get that promtp. It is hung somewhere before it gets to that stage.
What I do know is that the temporary Self hosted engines is created because I can ssh into and login as root
Next I will try again but this time use the --ansible-extra-vars option to fill in all the variables at the beginning. I don't know what else to try
