Doc Text:
The 'readcache' and 'readcache size' options for virtual disk optimization (VDO) are not supported on VDO volumes based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, which includes Red Hat Hyperconverged Infrastructure for Virtualization 1.8. These options are now removed so that VDO volume creation succeeds on version 1.8.

Comment 2 milind 2020-02-27 18:57:56 UTC
As readcache is no longer supported with VDO  thanks @sas for the information
But the deployment is trying to set that and it fails.


The file where the issue occurs 

/etc/ansible/roles/gluster.infra/roles/backend_setup/tasks/vdo_create.yml

/etc/ansible/hc_wizard_inventory.yml

contains 'readcache' operation

Comment 3 SATHEESARAN 2020-02-28 01:01:57 UTC
VDO Readcache related attributes should be removed from 2 places :
1. cockpit plugin
2. gluster_ansible_infra

VDO Readcache related attributes are:
            "readcache": "disabled",
            "readcachesize": "0"
