I am attempting a new oVirt install. I have two nodes installed (with oVirt Node 4.4). I have NFS shared storage for the hosted engine.
Both nodes are Dell quad core Xeon CPUs with 32GB of RAM. Both have been hypervisors before, XCP-NG and Proxmox. However I'm very interested to learn oVirt now.

The hosted engine deployment (through cockpit) fails during the "Finish" stage.
I do see the initial files created on the NFS storage.

[ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Convert CPU model name]
[ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error was: 'dict object' has no attribute ''\n\nThe error appears to be in '/usr/share/ansible/roles/ovirt.hosted_engine_setup/tasks/create_target_vm/01_create_target_hosted_engine_vm.yml': line 105, column 16, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n# - debug: var=server_cpu_dict\n ^ here\n\nThere appears to be both 'k=v' shorthand syntax and YAML in this task.

    },
    "ansible_task": "Convert CPU model name",

}

I can see the host engine is created and running locally on the node.
I can event SSH into the HostedEngineLocal instance.

[root@ovirt-node01]# virsh --readonly list
 Id   Name                State

Looking at the "Convert CPU model name" task:
https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-ansible-hosted-engine-setup/blob/master/tasks/create_target_vm/01_create_target_hosted_engine_vm.yml

set_fact:
      cluster_cpu_model: "{{ server_cpu_dict[cluster_cpu.type] }}"

server_cpu_dict is good, I can find that in the logs, cluster_cpu is undefined.
But this is normal correct? The Cluster CPU type is "undefined" until the first host is added to the cluster.
The error makes it seems that server_cpu_dict and not cluster_cpu.type is the problem.
I'm not sure this is really the problem, but that is the only  undefined variable I can find.

Any advice or recommendation is appreciated
-Thanks in advance
