Description nijin ashok 2019-05-16 18:21:43 UTC

Description of problem:

Currently the metrics installation playbook ovirt-metrics-store-installation.yml only works in the DHCP environment. It doesn't pass the IP address information through cloud-int and hence depends on DHCP to configure the IP and hostname for both the installer and master VM. So the playbook will fail at the task "Wait for VMs IP" in ovirt.vm-infra role. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

ovirt-engine-metrics-1.3.0.2-1.el7ev.noarch

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:

Deploy metrics on environment which is not having DHCP.

Actual results:

Metrics installation fails during the execution of playbook ovirt-metrics-store-installation if the environment is not having DHCP

Expected results:

Installation should also work without DHCP.

Static IP addresses are common in many enterprise environments, DHCP would not be available for long lived servers.

We don't have the proper build yet, please move to ON_QA when the build is delivered to QE.

Info from Shirly - can be moved to ONQA

Verified on:
ovirt-engine-setup-4.3.8.2-0.4.el7.noarch
ovirt-engine-metrics-1.3.6.2-1.el7ev.noarch

Steps:
1. Followed metrics installation tutorial (https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.3/html/metrics_store_installation_guide/installing_metrics_store)
until step 5 
2. On step 5 of the tutorial, filled the logical network configuration with an arbitrary pre-selected IP address (on nic_ip_address parameter)
3. Continued on tutorial to launch metrics-store-installer vm

Results
metrics-store-installer vm launched with the pre-selected static IP address
