Description of problem:

Undercloud installation fails for host with disabled IPv6 (https://access.redhat.com/solutions/8709#rhel7disable).

$ openstack undercloud install

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python-tripleoclient-2.0.0-3.el7ost.noarch

How reproducible:
Deploy RHEL, disable IPv6 support as described here: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/8709#rhel7disable
Follow official RHOSP installation guide (https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-openstack-platform/9/paged/director-installation-and-usage/chapter-4-installing-the-undercloud).
Observe installation failing due to the missing kernel parameters for IPv6.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:
Undercloud installation fails.

Expected results:
Undercloud installation either completes successfully and properly handle missing kernel runtime variables or returns error at the beginning if IPv6 is really needed.
