Lessons learned:

  • The options within ANSIBLE_SSH_COMMON_ARGS did not work, it resulted in this error
    bhyve.rhel-9-x86_64: fatal: [default]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: command-line line 0: keyword controlmaster extra arguments at end of line", "unreachable": true}
    
  • RHEL needs an entitlement to install packages after installations. I worked around this by installing the necessary packages in the kickstart configuration.
  • To install from the CDROM, I had to add the following boot options:
    inst.repo=cdrom
    inst.method=cdrom://
    
    and place this in the kickstart file
    cdrom

This is a workaround for the entitlement issue. RHEL lets you install
packages through the installer but not once the system boots.
This was needed to solve the ssh connection error for ansible.
…lowing things like unique requirements per image
