So it seems that for some strange reason it is not getting the correct he_host_ip and  he_local_vm_dir.

has anybody else encountered this error?

Hi Adrian,
you want to configure your engine VM to get an IP address from DHCP, right?

Are you sure that the value of he_ansible_host_name exactly matches the address of your first host as used in your inventory file?
In {{ hostvars[he_ansible_host_name]['he_host_ip'] }} syntax the deployment process is trying, running a task on the engine VM, to access a value set on the first host.
This uses ansible hostvars mechanism to let a task run on the engine VM access a variable set on an another host, in this case an host named in the inventory as the value of he_ansible_host_name so he_ansible_host_name should exactly match the name of the host in the inventory: using just the hostname on one side and the FQDN on the other could make it fail.

If the configuration was instead fine, can you please send me a log file?
 

-Adrian
