Description Aleksandar Kostadinov 2020-04-07 20:54:16 UTC
This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #1811453

Description of problem:

When bootstrap process fails, openshift-installer tries to obtain debug logs by performing an SSH connection to the bootstrap machine. For this to work, during installation user needs to specify an SSH public key and have private key under ~/.ssh

issue is that installer log does not point at correct log bundle location. In log I see

> DEBUG Log bundle written to /var/home/core/log-bundle-20200308190642.tar.gz

while bundle is actually generated as

> install-dir/log-bundle-20200308190642.tar.gz

Version-Release number of the following components:
bash-4.2$ workdir/openshift-install version
workdir/openshift-install 4.4.0-0.nightly-2020-03-07-113547
built from commit f371355517f9da267c295e11c01cd3dfc54b39d4
release image registry.svc.ci.openshift.org/ocp/release@sha256:f616ef3c31ea273818d511a61396bba3e49ef20fce86a51d0fb290b9cf5a0894

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run IPI installer
2. bootstrap should fail (not sure how to cause this)

Actual results:

> DEBUG Log bundle written to /var/home/core/log-bundle-20200308190642.tar.gz

Expected results:

> DEBUG Log bundle written to install-dir/log-bundle-20200308190642.tar.gz

Comment 2 John Hixson 2020-04-21 21:51:13 UTC
The script that runs is located remotely. I think the debug statement should stay as-is. It is only printed when --log-level debug is specified to the installer. I have opened a PR to clarify where the log bundle is stored locally when retrieved and it sticks out and should make it clear.
