I have one thought. stack@undercloudv3 v3]$ cat /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/ceph-ansible/ceph-ansible.yaml resource_registry: OS::TripleO::Services::CephMgr: ../../deployment/ceph-ansible/ceph-mgr.yaml OS::TripleO::Services::CephMon: ../../deployment/ceph-ansible/ceph-mon.yaml OS::TripleO::Services::CephOSD: ../../deployment/ceph-ansible/ceph-osd.yaml OS::TripleO::Services::CephClient: ../../deployment/ceph-ansible/ceph-client.yaml parameter_defaults: # Ensure that if user overrides CephAnsiblePlaybook via some env # file, we go back to default when they stop passing their env file.

Also I am thinking on the things you helped me tho find, John. And I recalled, what I have found strange. NFS part. That it was trying to configure CephNfs... Or it should even I do not have it specified? From the output [1] here is the small part of it: "statically imported: /usr/share/ceph-ansible/roles/ceph-nfs/tasks/create_rgw_nfs_user.yml", "statically imported: /usr/share/ceph-ansible/roles/ceph-nfs/tasks/ganesha_selinux_fix.yml", "statically imported: /usr/share/ceph-ansible/roles/ceph-nfs/tasks/start_nfs.yml", [1] https://proxy.qwq.lt/ceph-ansible.html
