Issue

  • During the deployment, the hosted-engine script is failing because it does not meet the minimum memory requirements.

    [ INFO  ] TASK [ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Fail if available memory is less then the minimal requirement]
    [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Available memory ( {'failed': False, 'changed': False, 'ansible_facts': {u'max_mem': u'574818'}}MB ) is less then the minimal requirement (4096MB). Be aware that 512MB is reserved for the host and cannot be allocated to the engine VM."}
