Hi Simone,

 

I accidentally ran this using DHCP, which I know is problematic on my network.  I had previously run it using answer file parameter:

OVEHOSTED_VM/cloudinitVMStaticCIDR=str:<static_IP_address>

 

The same error occurred last time, but I’ll do so again and resend the full log.

 

Many thanks,

Brendan

OK,

according to this log file, the target engine VM didn't got an IPv4 address:

Are you sure that your DHCP server is properly working?

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

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: 

 

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

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 ?
