Mgr Timeout while deploying with ansible-playbook

Bug Report What happened:

I am trying this for the first time. So I think there maybe some configuration error from my part. But currently I cant find any.

What you expected to happen: This process to go smoothly

How to reproduce it (minimal and precise):

Share your group_vars files, inventory and full ceph-ansibe log

Environment:

• OS (e.g. from /etc/os-release):
• Kernel (e.g. uname -a):
• Docker version if applicable (e.g. docker version):
• Ansible version (e.g. ansible-playbook --version):
• ceph-ansible version (e.g. git head or tag or stable branch):
• Ceph version (e.g. ceph -v):

Not an issue now. It had something to do with the nodes I was using. Thanks @dsavineau

[dsavineau]

@nizamial09 the default ceph-ansible ansible.cfg set the ansible log file to $HOME/ansible/ansible.log [1] But if the directory doesn’t exist then you won’t find any log file.
