“The issue here is that it seams that your VM never got an address from libvirt default network DHCP” – but aren’t I obviating DHCP by using parameter:
OVEHOSTED_VM/cloudinitVMStaticCIDR=str:10.0.0.109/24
? VM should receive a static IP instead.
Perhaps there is a bug in hosted-engine setup that forces it to require DHCP.
If you have no more suggestions, I will buy a new router with different DHCP server.
Many thanks,
Brendan

Hi Simone,
[root@host ~]# virsh -r net-dhcp-leases default

No, node is running on bare-metal. Node was installed by plugging in a bootable USB.
Many thanks,

Hi Simone,
My attempt to install the RPM output hundreds of lines similar to:
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_setup/__init__.pyc from install of ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-2.2.29-1.el7.noarch conflicts with file from package ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-2.2.26-1.el7.noarch
Do I need to install the matching version of ovirt node?
“using it interactively without manually filing an answerfile” – if you mean using command: hosted-engine –deploy
and then manually typing each value, I tried this (choosing the static IP option) and the usual error occurs. I attach the log from this attempt.
The issue here is that it seams that your VM never got an address from libvirt default network DHCP:
2018-10-24 15:36:14,370+0100 DEBUG otopi.ovirt_hosted_engine_setup.ansible_utils ansible_utils._process_output:94 local_vm_ip: {'stderr_lines': [], u'changed': True, u'end': u'2018-10-24 15:36:13.196641', u'stdout': u'', u'cmd': u"virsh -r net-dhcp-leases default | grep -i 00:16:3e:3d:13:d8 | awk '{ print $5 }' | cut -f1 -d'/'", 'failed': False, u'delta': u'0:00:00.054641', u'stderr': u'', u'rc': 0, 'stdout_lines': [], u'start': u'2018-10-24 15:36:13.142000'}
Can you please share the output of
virsh -r net-dhcp-leases default
Are you running nested on a different hypervisor?
Many thanks,
Brendan

Can you please retry installing https://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup_4.2_build-artifacts-el7-x86_64/157/artifact/exported-artifacts/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-2.2.29-1.el7.noarch.rpm and using it interactively without manually filing an answerfile?

Hi Simone,
I attempted to use a fixed IP address instead of DHCP. I attach an attempt using answer-file parameter:
OVEHOSTED_VM/cloudinitVMStaticCIDR=str:10.0.0.109/24
which is in accordance with this example on your website:
https://ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/integration/heapplianceflow/
However, instead of this, you will notice that the log has:
OVEHOSTED_VM/cloudinitVMStaticCIDR=bool:'False'
The same error as usual occurred. Is this:
- The wrong syntax\format for specifying a “cloudinitVMStaticCIDR” IP?
- ovirt setup is ignoring it: either failing to assign the IP to the engine VM or to variable “local_vm_ip.stdout_lines”?
- Something else?
“You can also connect to that VM with VNC to check what's going on.” – Doesn’t work. Port querying 10.0.0.109 on 5800\5900 fails, so I don’t think the VM is networked. Which port does engine VNC use?
Many thanks,
Brendan

OK,
according to this log file, the target engine VM didn't got an IPv4 address:
Are you sure that your DHCP server is properly working?
You can also connect to that VM with VNC to check what's going on.

Hi Simone,
Sorry for late response, I’ve been unwell. Attached is the whole log you requested. I hope it reveals why variable “local_vm_ip.stdout_lines” is not being populated.
Hi,
according to your log file the deployment was successful:
at this point I can only suggest again to simply run the vanilla code without any custom patch.

I think that this is just an error in the clean up on failures phase due to something bad before.
Can you please attach the whole deployment log from /var/log/ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.log ?
