Description of problem: Running 'ctlplane-ip-range' pre-introspection check against undercloud.conf with default values for ctlplane-subnet returns misleading error Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 13-z How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Setup undercloud.conf with default ctlplane-subnet values for dhcp_start, dhcp_end 2. Run ctlplane-ip-range validation Actual results: [...] TASK [Check the size of the DHCP range for overcloud nodes] ******************** fatal: [undercloud]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Argument start () must be an IP\nArgument end () must be an IP"} PLAY RECAP ********************************************************************* undercloud : ok=4 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=1 Expected results: TASK [Check the size of the DHCP range for overcloud nodes] ******************** ok: [undercloud] PLAY RECAP ********************************************************************* undercloud : ok=5 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0 Additional info: Workaround: 1) edit undercloud.conf a) for each control plane subnet (default = ctlplane-subnet) section: i) Specify a value for dhcp_start (e.g. "dhcp_start = 192.168.24.5") ii) Specify a value for dhcp_end (e.g. "dhcp_end = 192.168.24.29") Rerun validation N.B. The check is for >= 25 ip addresses in range (see https://docs.openstack.org/tripleo-validations/queens/validations-pre-introspection-details.html#ctlplane-ip-range). This will be addressed in a separate bz
