Example answerfile to deploy on NFS none

Description Fabian von Feilitzsch 2016-05-06 19:30:58 UTC
Description of problem:

When running hosted-engine --deploy --config-append=/path/to/answers, some manual intervention is still required. Specifically, at least the following variables in the answer file are ignored:

  OVEHOSTED_ENGINE/appHostName
  OVEHOSTED_NETWORK/bridgeIf
  OVEHOSTED_COREENV_TEMPDIR

This makes it much more difficult to do an automated, non-interactive deploy of RHEV self-hosted (currently, we achieve this by invoking the command with yes '' | hosted-engine --deploy --config-append=/path/to/answers to accept the defaults).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
This is with RHEV 3.6 on RHEL 7.2

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get/create a fully completed answer file
2. run hosted-engine --deploy /path/to/answers

Actual results:
I am prompted for additional input

Expected results:
No further interaction required with the installer

Additional info:
Specifying it in the answers file isn't necessary, additional command line flags/configuration files would be fine too. Just anything that would allow a fully non-interactive install

Comment 1 John Matthews 2016-05-06 21:56:15 UTC
This issue is impacting the ability to deploy self hosted by the Quickstart Cloud Installer (Red Hat Cloud Suite).

Comment 2 Yaniv Kaul 2016-05-07 09:04:44 UTC
I know we've fixed a similar/identical issue - providing defaults for all answers, but don't recall if it's in 3.6.x or 4.0. I hope you are testing with 3.6.5.

Comment 3 Fabian von Feilitzsch 2016-05-07 15:07:16 UTC
I am using 3.6.5, and there are default values for the answers, but I am prompted to either input a new value or accept the default, and I can't override the defaults in a non-interactive installation.

Comment 4 Sandro Bonazzola 2016-05-09 13:45:51 UTC

Simone please check.
As far as I know if you specify mentioned values in the answer file, they'll be used. If this has been broken, it's a regression.

(In reply to Fabian von Feilitzsch from comment #0)
>   OVEHOSTED_ENGINE/appHostName
>   OVEHOSTED_NETWORK/bridgeIf
>   OVEHOSTED_COREENV_TEMPDIR

The last key should be OVEHOSTED_CORE/tempDir, trying to reproduce for the others.

Comment 7 Simone Tiraboschi 2016-05-10 10:06:20 UTC
Unable to reproduce with ovirt-hosted-engine-setup 1.3.5.0-1.1.el7 and the answerfile I'm attaching here as an example.

Please note that if you want to have multiple test in the same network env it would be necessary to randomize at lest the mac address of the engine VM.

Comment 8 Fabian von Feilitzsch 2016-05-10 17:42:50 UTC
Using your answers I did get that behavior, thank you for that and my mistake. However, I still get the following prompt:

Make a selection from the options below:
          (1) Continue setup - oVirt-Engine installation is ready and ovirt-engine service is up
          (2) Abort setup
          (3) Power off and restart the VM
          (4) Destroy VM and abort setup

          (1, 2, 3, 4)[1]: 

I am doing the cloud init with my own ISO, I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

Comment 9 John Matthews 2016-05-10 18:11:25 UTC
Simone,

I reopened this due to comment #8.

If you'd prefer we file a new BZ instead, please let us know.

Comment 10 Simone Tiraboschi 2016-05-15 07:26:59 UTC
Fabian,
Are you using also:

 OVEHOSTED_VM/cloudinitExecuteEngineSetup=bool:True
?

This is not needed anymore since now we read the answerfile directly from the shared domain

Comment 13 Simone Tiraboschi 2016-05-17 16:11:11 UTC
Unable to reproduce with this answer file: it correctly deploys in unmanaged way.

Please take care that 
OVEHOSTED_VM/cloudInitISO=str:existing
OVEHOSTED_VM/vmCDRom=str:/tmp/cloud.iso
means that you want to provide a custom cloud-init script and it's up to that to correctly run engine-setup on the engine VM as hosted-engine setup expects from it.
Are you really sure that you need to use a custom cloud-init script?
If so, take what /usr/share/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/plugins/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/vm/cloud_init.py does as a reference.
If not, you can simply pass all the values you have under CloudInit section in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_setup/constants.py
with 
OVEHOSTED_VM/cloudInitISO=str:generate and hosted-engine-setup will generate a cloud-init script for you.

           Use temporary password "7109aryq" to connect to vnc console.
           Please note that in order to use remote-viewer you need to be able to run graphical applications.
           This means that if you are using ssh you have to supply the -Y flag (enables trusted X11 forwarding).
           Otherwise you can run the command from a terminal in your preferred desktop environment.
           If you cannot run graphical applications you can connect to the graphic console from another host or connect to the serial console using the following command:
           socat UNIX-CONNECT:/var/run/ovirt-vmconsole-console/acc651ff-1168-4b31-8838-45f11630411c.sock,user=ovirt-vmconsole STDIO,raw,echo=0,escape=1
           Please ensure that your Guest OS is properly configured to support serial console according to your distro documentation.
           Follow http://www.ovirt.org/Serial_Console_Setup#I_need_to_access_the_console_the_old_way for more info.
           If you need to reboot the VM you will need to start it manually using the command:
           hosted-engine --vm-start
           You can then set a temporary password using the command:
           hosted-engine --add-console-password

Yes, we have a cloud init ISO that successfully executes engine-setup, as well as some additional configuration (rhevm-dwh + reports, satellite registration, additional ssh configuration, etc). Have you tested an installation using a custom cloud init ISO rather than the generated one? When I run the hosted-engine --deploy, I do not get the engine-setup logs in my hosted-engine log, and it does give me the prompt. If I interact with the prompt after engine-setup completes on the engine VM, then everything finishes out as expected.

Comment 15 Fabian von Feilitzsch 2016-05-17 18:23:19 UTC
I can confirm that I do not get the prompt when using a generated ISO though, and the domain monitor comes up and gives me the engine logs. Is there something I need to do/configure in my answers or in the cloud init script to get the domain monitor to try to connect to my engine rather than prompt and wait?

Yes, the one at comment https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1333957#c13 has:
 OVEHOSTED_VM/cloudInitISO=str:existing
 OVEHOSTED_VM/vmCDRom=str:/tmp/cloud.iso
 OVEHOSTED_VM/cloudinitExecuteEngineSetup=bool:True
so it wasn't generating it but it was using an already existing cloud-init ISO available at /tmp/cloud.iso (I simply generated it from hosted-engine-setup and on previous run monkey patching the code for that and simply copied it at /tmp/cloud.iso )

Are you using OVEHOSTED_VM/cloudinitExecuteEngineSetup=bool:True ? you have to.

> If I interact with the

hosted-engine setup has to monitor the execution of engine-setup inside the engine VM, to do that on the generated cloud-init image we redirect the output of engine-setup to a virtio port that is being monitored by hosted-engine-setup on the host.
Are you doing that on your custom cloud-init image? You can use /usr/share/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/plugins/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/vm/cloud_init.py as a reference.

Take this as an example:

Comment 17 Fabian von Feilitzsch 2016-05-18 19:03:54 UTC
Thank you so much for your time, I found the issue (PEBCAC). I had specified  OVEHOSTED_VM/cloudInitExecuteEngineSetup=bool:True , instead of  OVEHOSTED_VM/cloudinitExecuteEngineSetup=bool:True . With the casing correct, everything works perfectly.
