Euca 5 Ansible Install RHEL qemu check failure

[ndtroubleshoot]

The Ansible installer fails on RHEL7 trying to install the CentOS repo "centos-release-qemu-ev"

I believe the packages provided in that repo for CentOS are available in the regular RHEL server, extras and optionals but the Ansible install fails trying to turn on that repo for RHEL. I tried commenting out that repo install in the playbook but subsequent tasks fail as well. Should this CentOS repo be installed if RHEL or should there be a separate way to install these packages from the official RHEL repos?

The documentation should be updated to reflect that only CentOS is supported for ansible installs.

If you want to use ansible for RHEL installs then some small changes would be required.

Got it. Thanks for the fast reply.

Documentation is updated via Corymbia/eucalyptus-documentation#22

Ideally the ansible install should be updated to skip (or fix) the qemu steps on RHEL so that it otherwise works as per CentOS.
