Why does my CAM deployment stay in Progress?

In a fresh CAM installation. I have created a Cloud Connection to VMware vSphere. In VMware I did create a VM running Ubuntu 16.04 with internet access. In CAM I deployed template "Clone IBM-AutomationContentHub and IBM-CAMHub-Open"

The deployment stays in Progress. The Log File tab keeps repeating the messages:

...
null_resource.clone_git: Still creating... (18h58m22s elapsed)
null_resource.clone_git: Still creating... (18h58m32s elapsed)
null_resource.clone_git: Still creating... (18h58m42s elapsed)

Where should I look to further investigate?

Additional information would be to go onto the VM which you have created and run the command, while the machine is hung in the “Still creating” phase :

ps -ef | egrep -C10 installation

Most likely it is one of these issues which you are seeing:

• user does not have passwordless sudo, verify by issuing sudo cat /etc/sudoers, if you are prompted for a password, you will need to, eg: https://askubuntu.com/questions/239432/enable-passwordless-sudo-as-a-specific-user.
• It may also be a case, where the user does not have sudo privileges, you wil need to have that user added to /etc/sudoers
• name server is not setup the machine, verify by issuing : ping github.com, if you fail to resolve that host, you will need to setup a name server.
• Otherwise, if the curl or git commands are not installed on the machine, it may be an issue with the apt mirror. Check to see if the commands are machine: which git and which curl, if one is missing, run: sudo apt-get install curl or sudo apt-get install git … NOTE: see the first step about the sudo issue.
