tuned requires elevated privileges

[Lars Kellogg-Stedman]

Running tuned requires elevated privileges, but the tuned tasks do not have become: true. This results in the quickstart failing. Instead of:

  - name: Retrieve current tuned profile
    command: tuned-adm active
    register: tuned
    changed_when: False

We need:

  - name: Retrieve current tuned profile
    command: tuned-adm active
    register: tuned
    changed_when: False
    become: true

(And on the preceding task as well)

The main playbook is a bit like a maze at this point, but things happens like:

- playbooks/quickstart.yml includes provision.yml
- provision yaml uses the provision/local role which adds the virthost with the root user: https://github.com/openstack/tripleo-quickstart/blob/master/roles/provision/local/tasks/main.yml#L47
- provision remote does a bunch of stuff, including the tasks you mentioned
- it creates non_root_user on the virthost and readds its to the inventory with the new user

Thus the role runs with root privileges at this point and doesn't require become.

My deployment actually failed because of this problem, and was only successful after I added the become: lines to those tasks. Other tasks *in that same playbook* have become: lines, suggesting that it is in fact necessary.

[Attila Darazs (adarazs)]

It's not really necessary if you use the roles with quickstart.sh + the basic quickstart.yml playbook, because of how the virthost definition changes (explained in comment #1).

So I think you ran with --retain-inventory and used an older generated inventory or executed the playbook/roles with an existing inventory file that defined the virthost user as something else than root.

All this being said "sudo" will succeed when root is used, so there's no harm in adding it. Change coming right up.
