Bug ID 1581589: Lack of IPv4 management address causes OpenShift Ansible playbooks to fail

Last Modified: Apr 28, 2025

Affected Product(s):
F5OS Velos(all modules)

Fixed In:
F5OS-C 1.8.0

Opened: Apr 24, 2024

Severity: 2-Critical

Symptoms

If there are no IPv4 addresses defined, ansible playbook executions will fail to look up a default route, causing the playbook to fail.

Impact

This will fail the addition of new blades to the cluster, as well as a failure in the return merchandise authorization (RMA) situation for both blades and controllers.

Conditions

VELOS chassis with no IPv4 management addresses configured.

Workaround

The workaround is to add an IPv4 default route to both controllers from the bash shell. nmcli conn modify team0 ipv4.gateway 192.6.3.254 ipv4.route-metric 32768 nmcli conn up team0

Fix Information

Added a default route to allow the ansible playbooks to lookup the route and interface it requires.
