tripleo-quickstart does not work

[Sudeep Batra]

I installed Centos 7 on Baremetal node and ran the quickstart steps outlined in the link below :

https://docs.openstack.org/tripleo-quickstart/latest/basic-usage.html#tripleo-quickstart

executed the below steps :
   72 export VIRTHOST=138.85.196.40
   73 echo $VIRTHOST
   74 bash quickstart.sh --tags all $VIRTHOST

It fails with below error :

Look at the overcloud_deploy.log to see the cause of the failure.

Failure 1:
Ok I cleanly installed again Centos 7 on Baremetal and restarted the installation.

Followed the steps in below :
https://docs.openstack.org/tripleo-quickstart/latest/basic-usage.html#tripleo-quickstart

Create a superuser and login to the superuser user

su - user
    1 export VIRTHOST=127.0.0.2
    2 echo $VIRTHOST
    3 bash quickstart.sh --install-deps
    4 curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openstack/tripleo-quickstart/master/quickstart.sh
    5 screen
    6 bash quickstart.sh --install-deps
Error :
/home/user/.quickstart/playbooks/teardown-provision.yml
SSH Error: data could not be sent to remote host "127.0.0.2". Make sure this host can be reached over ssh
Resolution :

 7 ssh-keygen
    8 echo $VIRTHOST
 127.0.0.2
    9 ssh-copy-id root@$VIRTHOST
   10 rm -rf _quickstart.log
   11 rm -rf ./.quickstart/

Restarted the installation again:
 12 bash quickstart.sh --tags all $VIRTHOST

Got Error again :

the _quickstart log attached. Now trying to find the overcloud_deploy.log and will share shortly.

[Sudeep Batra (sudeep.batra)]

Went into the undercloud :
$ ssh -F ~/.quickstart/ssh.config.ansible undercloud

$ cat overcloud_deploy.log (attached for reference)

Found below Error : [ERROR] Error running /var/lib/heat-config/heaOvercloud configuration failed.

so Probably one solution is either manually configure the NTP (but then subsequent scripts will fail anyway) and quickstart wont be seamless.
the other solution is to use the Rocky release since I see there is a fix for this issues in Rocky : https://bugs.launchpad.net/tripleo/+bug/1777140 since the present default one took Queens.

Next need to find how to specify Rocky release in quickstart script.

[Sudeep Batra (sudeep.batra)]

Used the below steps :

export RELEASE=rocky
export VIRTHOST=127.0.0.2
time bash quickstart.sh \
     --teardown all \
  --tags all \
  --release $RELEASE \
  --nodes /home/user/tripleo-quickstart/config/nodes/1ctlr_1comp.yml \
  -e undercloud_undercloud_ntp_servers=147.117.251.28 \
  --clean \
  $VIRTHOST

[Sudeep Batra (sudeep.batra)]

export OPT_TEARDOWN="all"

./tripleo-quickstart/quickstart.sh --clean --release master --teardown all --tags all -e undercloud_undercloud_ntp_servers=147.117.251.28 -e undercloud_clean_nodes=false -e @/home/toor/deploy-config.yaml 127.0.0.2

ERROR :
Went to status ERROR due to "Message: Exceeded maximum number of retries. Exhausted all hosts available for retrying build failures for instance 604c1477-33a5-4a92-9d48-47afc9b75394., Code: 500"

overcloud_Deploy.log attached.

[Sudeep Batra (sudeep.batra)]

the same command with rocky ran well and I had success.

./tripleo-quickstart/quickstart.sh --clean --release rocky --teardown all --tags all -e undercloud_undercloud_ntp_servers=147.117.251.28 -e undercloud_clean_nodes=false -e @/home/toor/deploy-config.yaml 127.0.0.2

But I have one problem, unable to access the TripleO UI : keep getting error :
