bash quickstart.sh -R master--no-clone --tags all --nodes config/nodes/1ctlr_1comp_1ceph.yml -p quickstart.yml $VIRTHOST

Using the above command, I tried to deploy the tripleo environment on $VIRTHOST (10.160.0.2) from my ansible control machine (10.160.0.3). Everything went until quickstart.sh tried to find the ip address of the undercloud. At that point, playbook failed and errored out.

In the $VIRTHOST, I observed qemu-kvm is stuck at 100% cpu utilization.

  PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND

I tried with various releases (queens, pike, ocata). Same issue. I even tried to use old version (2.1.0) of quickstart. Still same issue. Looks like there is some issue with undercloud image.

Did anyone face this ... (more)
