Hello Everyone,

I am attempting to install a oVirt Self-hosted engine deployment on a HPE G10 DL360 Server.

I am running into a strange issue where the ovirtmgmt bridge is not being created successfully, I have attempted to install around 8 times now and it always gets stuck at the same point:

1. oVirt deploy attempts to create the ovirtmgmt bridge.
2. ovirtmgmt bridge is not created.
3. Deployment fails while waiting for VM to be up.

I am attempting the deployment using the ovirt.ovirt collection and the hosted_engine_setup role where the host is set to localhost.

The strange thing is I have used this same ansible script and it’s accompanying configurations to install oVirt Successfully on this server previously but it is failing after I have performed a cleanup and attempted a reinstallation.

Components:

HPE G10 DL360 -> Almalinux 8.10

ovirt-ansible-collection.noarch                   3.2.0-1.el8                                       

ovirt-engine-appliance.x86_64                     4.5-20231201120252.1.el8                          

I can post the entire engine.log if required but I see the following error that might be relevant

Any help diagnosing this issue would be appreciated. My assumption is that VNICS_OUT_OF_SYNC_ON_NETWORK_UPDATE is what is causing the issue but I’m not sure how to get the networks in sync since everything is being done via the internal ovirt ansible collection.

Thanks!
