Description Simone Tiraboschi 2019-06-07 16:17:19 UTC

Description of problem:
ansible-yum module, used in ovirt-ansible-engine-setup, is always try to implicitly install yum-utils for its internal purposes:
See:
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blame/devel/lib/ansible/modules/packaging/os/yum.py#L1545

ovirt-engine-appliance doesn't include yum-utils and so the deployment always fails on disconnected env even if everything else is always there.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.3.4

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to deploy hosted-engine on a disconnected env
2.
3.

Actual results:
hosted-engine setup fails with ansible-yum trying to install yum-utils

Expected results:
yum-utils is already there and we can deploy hosted-engine in a disconnected enviroment

Comment 1 Yuval Turgeman 2019-06-10 07:48:11 UTC

Wow, why do they do this ? Isn't this a packaging bug for ansible ?

Comment 2 Simone Tiraboschi 2019-06-10 07:52:33 UTC

Not really sure: ansible and all its dependencies are installed on the controller host.
yum-utils is going to be installed at runtime on the managed hosts.

Comment 3 Sandro Bonazzola 2019-06-10 10:56:19 UTC

Is the package module doing the same? Or do we need yum module for other reasons?

Comment 4 Simone Tiraboschi 2019-06-10 13:55:42 UTC

No, package module will not.

Yum it's used here in ovirt-ansible-engine-setup:
https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-ansible-engine-setup/blob/master/tasks/install_packages.yml#L8

with 'list' command to discriminate between oVirt and RHV.

Comment 5 Lukas Svaty 2019-06-17 10:44:32 UTC

We need a clearer specification of 'disconnected env' for QE Ack. 
Or reproduction steps.

Try to deploy hosted-engine on an environment with no Internet connection and no proxy for yum:
1. install ovirt-hosted-engine-setup and ovirt-engine-appliance on the host
2. disconnect it from the Internet
3. deploy hosted-engine

Comment 7 Nikolai Sednev 2019-07-15 14:26:02 UTC

Works for me on these components:
ovirt-engine-setup-4.3.5.4-0.1.el7.noarch
ovirt-hosted-engine-ha-2.3.3-1.el7ev.noarch
ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-2.3.11-1.el7ev.noarch
Linux 3.10.0-1060.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jul 1 18:28:13 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.7 Beta (Maipo)
