Any ideas on this one? I can almost touch this deployment now... Looking at the command it should run as `vdsm` so should work fine, could this be SELinux?

but are you really using it with ansible 2.8 alpha 1?
I'd strongly suggest to switch back to a stable release of ansible which is currently 2.7.9.

In the next ansible build it will be just a warning as for: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/54336

https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-ansible-hosted-engine-setup/pull/150/files already address this on ovirt-ansible-hosted-engine-setup to be compatible with future ansible releases.

Another issue, but this is likely due to randomised MAC addresses:

Seems it doesn't take into account reserved values when generating.

If not specified by the user,
a random unicast MAC address is randomly generated here:

for sure it's unicast but maybe we should make it more robust on reserved values.
Simply try again for now; I'll open an issue to track it, thanks!
 

I hope this feedback is valuable - I have a good feeling about the current deploy otherwise though.

Callum

The host's ovirtmgmt network connection is a statically assigned IP on a VLAN on a bond, how should I be configuring this if not manually?

If you need to deploy over vlan 123 over bond0 simply configure a device exactly called bond0.123 and statically configure your IP address there.
Choose it for hosted-engine deployment, nothing more: ovirtmgmt will be automatically created over that device and the vlan ID will be set at engine level for the whole management network.

It is a bug if you intend on using the ovirtmgmt network to deploy your ansible from

This is a bit tricky: when the engine brings up the host it also creates the management bridge and this could lead to a temporary network down on the selected interface for the bridge creation time (a couple of seconds?)
I tried it on a LAN and ansible ssh connection always survived but I 'm not sure it's always true.
 
, and you need it to have an IP address already on that range! But - it works as expected with the ovirtmgmt bridge setup so nothing to worry about.

Dear All,

We're trying to deploy our hosted engine remotely using the ansible hosted engine playbook, which has been a rocky road but we're now at the point where it's installing, and failing. We've got a pre-defined bond/VLAN setup for our interface which has the correct bond0 bond0.123 and ovirtmgmt bridge on top but we're hitting the classic error:

Failed to find a valid in
terface for the management network of host virthyp04.virt.in.bmrc.ox.ac.uk. If the interface ovirtmgmt is a bridge, it should be torn-down manually.

Does this bug still exist in the latest (4.3) version, and is installing using ansible with this network configuration impossible?

I don't think it's a bug; please avoid manually creating ovirtmgmt and simply set:
he_bridge_if: "bond0.123", in ansible variable file and the management bridge will be created for you at host-deploy time.
