Hello,

Hi, I'm not sure why there are some # in there... any chance you could paste your inventory for me? Also, can you let me know what distro you're using?

Thanks! -c

Hi,

my inventory:

---
## YAML based inventory, see:
## https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/plugins/inventory/yaml.html
#
## Simple example using defaults to spin up 3 CentOS guests
## This is on multiple KVM hosts, see kvmhost.yml
simple:
  hosts:
    simple-centos-8-[1:1]:
  vars:
    ansible_python_interpreter: /usr/libexec/platform-python
    virt_infra_distro_image: "CentOS-Stream-GenericCloud-8-20210603.0.x86_64.qcow2"
    virt_infra_host_image_path: "/opt/kvm/images"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

# --memory {{ virt_infra_ram }},maxmemory={{ virt_infra_ram_max }}
    --memory 2048

As I encountered the error of the memory, I commented the line and added a new one: but I have the same error :)

My distro : CentOS Stream release 8

Regarde,

[csmart]

Thanks, sorry is the hashed out memory option in the Ansible code? I've edited your comment to try and set it in code so it's easier to read, but maybe I got it wrong.

If you added that line in the code, could you delete any lines rather than commenting them out?

[dNodal0]

Hello, Thank you for your quick answer, the code works perfectly after removing the commented line

Removed lines: --memory {{ virt_infra_ram }},maxmemory={{ virt_infra_ram_max }} replaced by --memory 2048 ` Thanks :)

[csmart]

Thanks for that. I'm surprised you had that problem on CentOS Stream 8 though... hmm... does this have the latest updates applied? I'll have to test it.

[dNodal0]

Hi, Indeed, after installing the last updates, the role works perfectly without modification,

Thanks for your time :)

[csmart]

OK great, thanks.
