ovirt install: missing vsphere var??

[vap0rtranz]

When running the oVirt installer, the playbook returns an error and evidently expects a vsphere variable:

[justin@ales-helpernode openshift-auto-upi]$ ansible-playbook openshift_ovirt.yml

PLAY [helper] ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
...

TASK [openshift_common : Copy install-config.yaml to the /home/justin/openshift-auto-upi-workspace/ocp4410/conf directory] *******************************************************************
fatal: [helper]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "AnsibleUndefinedVariable: 'vsphere' is undefined"}

I checked the files that I'd edited for ovirt:

[justin@ales-helpernode openshift-auto-upi]$ ls -lrt inventory/group_vars/all/infra/
total 68
-rw-rw-r--. 1 justin justin 1642 Jun 25 15:59 helper.yml

$ ls -lrt files/common/
total 8
-rw-rw-r--. 1 justin justin 2435 Jun 25 15:59 install-config.yaml.sample
-rw-rw-r--. 1 justin justin 2434 Jun 25 16:56 install-config.yaml

But the only vsphere enty in any of the files that I'd edited is the one in the install-config.yaml that's commented out:

[justin@ales-helpernode openshift-auto-upi]$ grep vsphere inventory/group_vars/all/infra/*.yml
[justin@ales-helpernode openshift-auto-upi]$ grep vsphere files/common/*.yaml
#  vsphere:
#    vcenter: '{{ vsphere.vcenter_hostname }}'
#    username: '{{ vsphere.vcenter_username  }}'
#    password: '{{ vsphere.vcenter_password  }}'
#    datacenter: '{{ vsphere.datacenter_name }}'
#    defaultDatastore: '{{ vsphere.datastore_name }}'

Is there something I missed setting up in the inventory files?

@vap0rtranz Thanks for reporting this. I think I know where the problem is. The vsphere related lines in the install-config.yaml look like they are commented out but actually they are not. Ansible Jinja templating is still trying to replace the tokens '{{ vsphere.xxx }}' and failing as there is no vsphere variable defined.

Please, remove the vsphere lines in the install-config.yaml. That should make it work.

@noseka1 that worked. ty!
