It appears that ansible isn't looking at the environment variables set for path on the installed nodes.
I can modify the playbooks where the oc and openshift-install commands are run, and add an absolute
path in front of the binaries and they execute successfully.

Hello!

Wanted to use SNO deploy from Fedora 34 machine to RHEL 8.5 host, but it always failed in Terraform part:

TASK [Use TF project to ensure pool and network are defined] **************************************************************************
fatal: [remote.host]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Path for Terraform project 'terraform/libvirt-resources' doesn't exist on this host - check the path and try again please."}

Local invocation works fine.

Used the sources from today.

Also I noticed I had to copy sno_vars.yml to cluster_vars.yml - otherwise my domain from sno_vars.yml was not being used. Instead default hetzner.lab was used.

Here is the whole install log:

Update terraform and rebase config scripts to run smoother.

We need to resize the number of supported versions and simplify deployment routine for RHCOS provisioning.

I had this happen when /root and /var/lib/libvirt/images weren't big enough. I resolved by increasing the space available, but then worked with someone to put together my first-ever piece of yaml code that I offer up for inclusion. It might help to check at least two locations, because I ran out of space on both.

I'll include the entire yaml file contents, obviously you won't need all of it.

`- hosts: localhost
become: True
vars:
#Specify space needed in bytes
need_space: 42949672960
#Specify directory where images are to be built
mntpt: "{{(ansible_mounts | selectattr('mount', 'in', '/var/lib/libvirt/images') | list | sort(attribute='mount'))[-1]['mount']}}"
tasks:

• name: Assert if there is enough space
  loop: "{{ ansible_mounts }}"
  when: ( item.mount == mntpt )
  assert:
  that: ( item.size_available > need_space )
  `

The value for need_space was just something I was using to test, it should get set to however much room is actually needed for the path in question. The setting of mntpt is being done in such a way that if the path specified (/var/lib/libvirt/images in this example) is a subdirectory of a filesystem, mntpt will get set to the "owning" mout point of the filesystem, so the check against the ansible_mounts fact will work properly.

I'm getting this error during the "Configure NetworkManager for libvirt network" task. I've installed python3_netaddr on the base server, but this still comes up. Full -vvv output from the relevant section of the playbook:

In order to extend capable hosts, add RHEL to the OSes that can be used on the host machine.

Hello, How may I hard code the prerequisite check to allow RHEL?

I have:

cat /etc/*-release

Thank you!

When the target is Fedora 34 (but the problem should be present on older/newer versions too), I get this error:

Upgrade OCP cluster.

Description of the problem

During the installation of the default OCP4 cluster tha playbook execution stops at the task "Download initramfs and kernel". The full error message is:

failed: [bastion] (item=rhcos-4.4.3-x86_64-installer-initramfs.x86_64.img) => {"ansible_loop_var": "item", "changed": false, "dest": "/var/lib/tftpboot/rhcos/rhcos-4.4.3-x86_64-installer-initramfs.x86_64.img", "elapsed": 0, "item": "rhcos-4.4.3-x86_64-installer-initramfs.x86_64.img", "msg": "Request failed", "response": "HTTP Error 404: Not Found", "status_code": 404, "url": "https://mirror.openshift.com/pub/openshift-v4/dependencies/rhcos/4.4/latest/rhcos-4.4.3-x86_64-installer-initramfs.x86_64.img"}

Cause

The latest folder in mirror used for the download has been updated to version 4.4.9.

Resolution

Point to the https://mirror.openshift.com/pub/openshift-v4/dependencies/rhcos/4.4/4.4.3/ url for correct resolution of the images.

I kept getting the error about:

This is fixed by editing /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf and adding:

unix_sock_group = "libvirt"
unix_sock_ro_perms = "0777"
unix_sock_rw_perms = "0770"

and then restarting libvirtd:

sudo systemctl restart libvirtd

Update provisioner to use https://registry.terraform.io/modules/kubealex/libvirt-resources/libvirt/latest and speed up deployment.

Working on pull from 2021/11/08 13:00 Eastern.

Attempting to run on RHEL8 server.

After installing ansible from the ansible-automation-platform-2.0-early-access-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms available via a Red Hat Developer subscription, I ran the 'ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml' command.

As I'm running this on a single server, I chose the 'ansible-playbook main-sno.yml' command next. It failed with message "ERROR! couldn't resolve module/action 'openssh_keypair'. This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path."

I found the collection "community.crypto" on galaxy.ansible.com and added it to the requirements.yml file, re-ran that then re-rain main-sno.yml and got past the error.

Newbie to GitHub so didn't want to even try to figure out if it was possible to submit the change, thought this was safest.

[root@localhost libvirt-ocp4-provisioner]# ansible-playbook main.yml
ERROR! couldn't resolve module/action 'community.general.terraform'. This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path.

The error appears to be in '/root/libvirt-ocp4-provisioner/01_install_virtualization_tools.yml': line 46, column 7, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

- name: Use TF project to ensure pool and network are defined
  ^ here
