[ovirt-users] Re: Diary of hosted engine install woes

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.

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/heappli... However, instead of this, you will notice that the log has: OVEHOSTED_VM/cloudinitVMStaticCIDR=bool:'False' The same error as usual occurred. Is this: 1. The wrong syntax\format for specifying a “cloudinitVMStaticCIDR” IP? 2. ovirt setup is ignoring it: either failing to assign the IP to the engine VM or to variable “local_vm_ip.stdout_lines”? 3. 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?

You can also connect to that VM with VNC to check what's going on.

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. *From:* Simone Tiraboschi <stirabos(a)redhat.com&gt; *Sent:* 15 October 2018 04:49 On Sun, Oct 14, 2018 at 6:08 AM Brendan Holmes <me(a)brendanh.com&gt; wrote: Hi Simone, [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The task includes an option with an undefined variable.
