Hey Marcin. There aren't any logs for those services as they haven't been started yet. This failure happens very early in the deploy, just after the page where you configure the engine VM settings.

Unfortunately, I can't try a redeploy on the same node because libvirtd is now in a bad state and can't come up at all. I now get the following error once we get past the Gluster Wizard and move on the the Hosted Engine Deploy:
"libvirt is not running! Please ensure it is running before starting the wizard, so system capabilities can be queried."

I'll sift through the ansible to see what it changed and report back. But I'd still like to get past this /etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem issue.

Hi all! I'm using Cockpit to perform an HCI install, and it fails at the hosted engine deploy. Libvirtd can't restart because of a missing /etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem file.

The log (tasks seemingly from /usr/share/ansible/roles/ovirt.hosted_engine_setup/tasks/initial_clean.yml):

Can you please share journalctl logs for vdsmd and supervdsmd?
