Description of problem: Installing a vanilla OSE 3.5 (and probably 3.6, I haven't tried it yet) as detailed in the documentation causes the installer to fail. Version-Release number of the following components: # rpm -q openshift-ansible openshift-ansible-3.5.145-1.git.0.e1e330f.el7.noarch # rpm -q ansible ansible-2.4.1.0-1.el7.noarch # ansible --version ansible 2.4.1.0 config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg configured module search path = [u'/root/.ansible/plugins/modules', u'/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules'] ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible executable location = /usr/bin/ansible python version = 2.7.5 (default, Aug 2 2016, 04:20:16) [GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-4)] How reproducible: Follow the exact same steps in the official documentation for OSE 3.5. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: ERROR! no action detected in task. This often indicates a misspelled module name, or incorrect module path. The error appears to have been in '/usr/share/ansible/openshift-ansible/roles/etcd/tasks/system_container.yml': line 22, column 3, but may be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem. The offending line appears to be: - name: Install or Update Etcd system container package ^ here The error appears to have been in '/usr/share/ansible/openshift-ansible/roles/etcd/tasks/system_container.yml': line 22, column 3, but may be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem. The offending line appears to be: - name: Install or Update Etcd system container package ^ here exception type: <class 'ansible.errors.AnsibleParserError'> exception: no action detected in task. This often indicates a misspelled module name, or incorrect module path. The error appears to have been in '/usr/share/ansible/openshift-ansible/roles/etcd/tasks/system_container.yml': line 22, column 3, but may be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem. The offending line appears to be: - name: Install or Update Etcd system container package ^ here An error was detected. After resolving the problem please relaunch the installation process. Expected results: The installer should start installing OCP as below: Are you ready to continue? [y/N]: y Play 1/28 (Create initial host groups for localhost) .. Play 2/28 (Create initial host groups for all hosts) Additional info: Instead of depending on ansible provided from the rhel-7-server-extras-rpms, use the ansible package provided from the relavent OSE repository (rhel-7-server-ose-3.5-rpms): # yum remove ansible # yum --disablerepo=rhel-7-server-extras-rpms install atomic-openshift-utils
