[4.5.3] Unable to complete the Hosted Engine Depolyment successfully

[mnsmithuk]

Hi,

Any ideas what I'm missing? I'm doing a vanilla install of Ovirt Node 4.5.3 from the latest image and I get the following error:

Hi mnsmithuk,
It seems, that the password confirmation fails or is missing in cockpit.
The cli-deployment currently works.

[mnsmithuk]

Not sure how it could be missing cockpit if I'm using the Node image to install.

How do I check the password confirmation as you suggested?

[Red-Ex]

When you execute the hosted-engine --deploy --4 on cli, you get a password confirmation for the root-user of the vm and the admin-user for managment. During the Cockpit-Installation on web you only set the password once. So I assume, that the confirmation-field is missing or the process do not use the correct variable on ansible.
Currently I can't figuring out, what processes are triggered trough the cockpit-installation cause I started with ovirt some weeks ago:).
I can suggest you the cli-installer cause it currently works.

[mnsmithuk]

Ok. Thanks for the heads up. I give it another try when I get a chance.

@mnsmithuk can you please update?

[Red-Ex]

@sandrobonazzola could it be an error or a missing part in case of the missing confirmation field in the wizard? Or was that planned to use the password-field in the background for the ansible-deployment? In case of the missing field it is hard to go trough a clean installation:). For a good result you have to start the wizard/cockpit-deployment, which saves some informations for the ansible-deployment. After that fails you can go trough the cli-installation to get a working installation. Otherwise you have to tweak aroun with the virtbr-bridge-interface an so on. If I can help to dig it down or try to find a solution, a hint for the right place would be helpfull.

@Red-Ex I'm sorry I don't know this code enough to help here.

note cockpit-ovirt is no actively developed. contributed fixes are still going to be merged, but there's no one around to investigate or fix issues
