[ovirt-users] troubleshooting SHE - Run engine-setup with answerfile - ?

Hi guys. I'm revisiting my failed attempt to make friends with oVirt - novice so go easy on me. Deployment fails sooner that what can troubleshoot - at least I manged to find in docs so far - and I wanted to ask hot to troubleshot such failure as this: ...  INFO  ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.engine_setup : Run engine-setup with answerfile] [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost -> 192.168.1.209]: FAILED! => {"changed": true, "cmd": ["engine-setup", "--accept-defaults", "--config-append=/root/ovirt-engine-answers"], "delta": "0:08:05.997322", "end": "2023-06-01 13:07:15.932517", "msg": "non-zero return code", "rc": 1, "start": "2023-06-01 12:59:09.935195", "stderr": "", "stderr_lines": [], "stdout": "[ INFO  ] Stage: Initializing\n[ INFO  ] Stage: Environment setup\n          Configuration files:\n ...

I think that last two snippets-blocks, might be most useful - but what does it says? When 'installer' is finished, there is no aforementioned pool however there is: -> $ virsh pool-list | grep '9ab14cca-78e0-4a8e-8a1b-00e98c300208'  9ab14cca-78e0-4a8e-8a1b-00e98c300208-1   active   yes Engine VM remains is up & running, How far from successful deployment that is & what would be advised to do next? many thanks, L.
