[ovirt-users] hosted-engine deploy fails at "Wait for the engine to come up on the target VM" step

I am trying to deploy oVirt with a self-hosted engine and the setup seems to go well until near the very end when the status message says: [ INFO ] TASK [Wait for the engine to come up on the target VM] [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"attempts": 120, "changed": true, "cmd": ["hosted-engine", "--vm-status", "--json"], "delta": "0:0 0:00.216412", "end": "2018-03-07 16:02:02.677478", "rc": 0, "start": "2018-03-07 16:02:02.461066", "stderr": "", "stderr_lines": [], "stdout ": "{\"1\": {\"conf_on_shared_storage\": true, \"live-data\": true, \"extra\": \"metadata_parse_version=1\\nmetadata_feature_version=1\\ntim estamp=4679955 (Wed Mar 7 16:01:50 2018)\\nhost-id=1\\nscore=3400\\nvm_conf_refresh_time=4679956 (Wed Mar 7 16:01:51 2018)\\nconf_on_share d_storage=True\\nmaintenance=False\\nstate=EngineStarting\\nstopped=False\\n\", \"hostname\": \"rhv1.cpms.byu.edu\", \"host-id\": 1, \"engin e-status\": {\"reason\": \"vm not running on this host\", \"health\": \"bad\", \"vm\": \"down\", \"detail\": \"unknown\"}, \"score\": 3400, \"stopped\": false, \"maintenance\": false, \"crc32\": \"d3a67cf7\", \"local_conf_timestamp\": 4679956, \"host-ts\": 4679955}, \"global_main tenance\": false}", "stdout_lines": ["{\"1\": {\"conf_on_shared_storage\": true, \"live-data\": true, \"extra\": \"metadata_parse_version=1\ \nmetadata_feature_version=1\\ntimestamp=4679955 (Wed Mar 7 16:01:50 2018)\\nhost-id=1\\nscore=3400\\nvm_conf_refresh_time=4679956 (Wed Mar 7 16:01:51 2018)\\nconf_on_shared_storage=True\\nmaintenance=False\\nstate=EngineStarting\\nstopped=False\\n\", \"hostname\": \"rhv1.cpms. byu.edu\", \"host-id\": 1, \"engine-status\": {\"reason\": \"vm not running on this host\", \"health\": \"bad\", \"vm\": \"down\", \"detail\ ": \"unknown\"}, \"score\": 3400, \"stopped\": false, \"maintenance\": false, \"crc32\": \"d3a67cf7\", \"local_conf_timestamp\": 4679956, \" host-ts\": 4679955}, \"global_maintenance\": false}"]} [ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Closing up': Failed executing ansible-playbook Any ideas that might help? -- Kristian Petersen System Administrator Dept. of Chemistry and Biochemistry
