hosted_engine_setup fails when done remotedly.

It turns out to be a bit more complicated...

The playbook is not hanging, it is just proceeding very slowly. This is an example of the output:

TASK [redhat.rhv.hosted_engine_setup : Wait for the local VM] ***********************************************************************
[WARNING]: sftp transfer mechanism failed on [mgg-rhvmgt-fra5.mgg.local]. Use ANSIBLE_DEBUG=1 to see detailed information
[WARNING]: scp transfer mechanism failed on [mgg-rhvmgt-fra5.mgg.local]. Use ANSIBLE_DEBUG=1 to see detailed information
ok: [mgg-mgt001-fra5.mgg.local -> mgg-rhvmgt-fra5.mgg.local]

TASK [redhat.rhv.hosted_engine_setup : Add an entry for this host on /etc/hosts on the local VM] ************************************
[WARNING]: sftp transfer mechanism failed on [mgg-rhvmgt-fra5.mgg.local]. Use ANSIBLE_DEBUG=1 to see detailed information
[WARNING]: scp transfer mechanism failed on [mgg-rhvmgt-fra5.mgg.local]. Use ANSIBLE_DEBUG=1 to see detailed information

So ansible tries to upload the module, first tries sftp, then scp, then something else (what?)

@kristvanbesien Can you please share the ovirt-hosted-engine-setup log files from the host
and the engine.log from the localVM (the engine)?

You should find the IP address of the localVM in /etc/hosts
or you can use virsh -r net-dhcp-leases default .
