Hi Simone,

I had exactly the same error in the run prior, which is why I added simple non-function-changing debug code.  I’ll send you the log from a run without this.  It won’t be any different except won’t contain some extra info.

Many thanks,

Brendan

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: 

  2018-10-14 13:06:36,316+0100 INFO otopi.plugins.gr_he_common.core.misc misc._terminate:250 Hosted Engine successfully deployed

But  from the logs I see that you introduced custom ansible tasks and you also removed relevant code parts:

at this point I can only suggest again to simply run the vanilla code without any custom patch.

Many thanks,

Brendan

Hi Simone,

[ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error was: list object has no element 0\n\nThe error appears to have been in '/usr/share/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/ansible/create_target_vm.yml': line 396, column 5, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n    changed_when: True\n  - name: Clean /etc/hosts on the host\n    ^ here\n"}

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 ?
