Hi Team,

I was trying to integrate External Ceph with Triple0 Wallaby, and at the end of deployment in step4 getting the below error:

Have tried checking and validating the ceph client details and they seem to be correct, further digging the container log I could see something like this :

[root@overcloud-novacompute-0 containers]# tail -f nova_libvirt_init_secret.log
tail: cannot open 'nova_libvirt_init_secret.log' for reading: No such file or directory
