4:59 p.m.
I am having problems installing a 3-node HCI cluster on machines that used to work
fine.... and on a fresh set of servers, too.
After a series of setbacks on a set of machines with failed installations and potentially
failed clean-ups, I am ssing a fresh set of servers that had never run oVirt before.
Patched to just before today's bigger changes (new kernel..) installation failed
during the setup of the local hosted engine first and when I switched from GUi to script
setup 'hosted-engine --deploy' *without* doing a cleanup this time, it progressed
further to the point where the local VM had actually been teleported onto the (gluster
based) cluster and is running there.
In what seems the absolutely final action before adding the other two hosts, ansible is
doing a finaly inventory of the virtual machine and collects facts or rather information
(that's perhaps the breaking point) about that first VM before I would continue, only
the data structure got renamed between ansible 2.8 and 2.9 according to this:
https://fossies.org/diffs/ansible/2.8.5_vs_2.9.0rc1/lib/ansible/modules/c...
And the resulting error message from the
/var/log/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-*.log file is:

If that is the case, wouldn't that imply that there is no test case that covers the
most typical HCI deployment when Ansible is updated?
That would be truly frightening...
