Yup, that's a bug in the ansible code, I've come across on hosts that had 512GB of RAM. I quite simply deleted the checks from the ansible code and re-ran the wizard.
I can't read YAML or Python or whatever it is that Ansible uses, but my impression is that things are 'cast' or converted into an INT data type on these checks that overflows at that point. I wound up commenting out the entire set of checks to get past this, because I could see no easy way to fix this. I just checked that the commands used to retrieve the memory size returned the proper number of kilobytes and then rolled my eyes at what seemd like a type cast operation. I never went deeper, because at that point I have a hard time keeping the beast inside me at bay, that sees how Ansible can bring a Xeon Scalable Gold system to what seems slower than a 6502 executing BASIC. The hosted-setup takes what seems like an hour, no matter how fast or slow your hardware. I was so fed up at the speed of Ansible and the quality of oVirt QA, I couldn't bring myself to open a ticket, I hope you're better motivated. BTW things aren't much better at the low end either. While Ansible doesn't seem that much slower on an Atom farm I also operate, the hosted-engine setup does fail on them, so replug their SSDs for that part into an i7 and then replug the SSDs to the Atoms aftwards. Once, up and running oVirt is just fine on Atoms (mine have 32GB of RAM each). I am almost ready to donate my Atoms to the project, because I keep thinking that oVirt's major chance would be as edge HCI, but they are asking for 128GB RAM minimum... BTW. I was running oVirt 4.3 on CentOS7 when hitting that error. No idea if it's still the same with 4.4/COS8 as my 'perhaps-next-but-more-likely-never' generation test farm runs on NUCs with 64GB. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/DIMKRCVXMT4RLIGVUDZAQ3B6DJGEYYAV/
