Hi, Yedidyah Bar David wrote:
In any case (perhaps not relevant to you right now, if indeed engine-setup succeeded), usually the engine vm is left running at the end of a failed deploy. If it's still the local vm, you can find its IP address by searching the ansible logs for local_vm_ip, then you can ssh to it from the host.
For fixing the "empty engine-logs dirs", now pushed this:

Didn't test yet, it's just a guess.
I followed up on your remark that the engine may indeed be running. And it is, sorry for not seeing this earlier. Anyway, I was thus able to take a look in /var/log/ovirt-engine/setup in the HE VM and found the following error (I found a couple of more "suspicious" lines, but this one sticks out). 2020-05-27 00:17:09,660+0200 DEBUG otopi.context context._executeMethod:145 method exception Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/M2Crypto/BIO.py", line 279, in openfile f = open(filename, mode) FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/qemu-ca.pem' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/otopi/context.py", line 132, in _executeMethod method['method']() File "/usr/share/ovirt-engine/setup/bin/../plugins/ovirt-engine-setup/ovirt-engine/pki/ca.py", line 699, in _miscUpgrade if self._expired(self._x509_load_cert(ca_file)): File "/usr/share/ovirt-engine/setup/bin/../plugins/ovirt-engine-setup/ovirt-engine/pki/ca.py", line 94, in _x509_load_cert res = X509.load_cert(f) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/M2Crypto/X509.py", line 802, in load_cert with BIO.openfile(file) as bio: File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/M2Crypto/BIO.py", line 281, in openfile raise BIOError(ex.args) M2Crypto.BIO.BIOError: (2, 'No such file or directory') 2020-05-27 00:17:09,663+0200 ERROR otopi.context context._executeMethod:154 Failed to execute stage 'Misc configuration': (2, 'No such file or directory') Best regards Oli
