Expected result:
ipa-server-install should have failed to install at the moment the critical warning was encountered.

It is missing ipaserver-install.log, but looking at others logs the step '4/46' (enabling memberof plugin) is an online update. So step 2/42 may have failed because it already existed an instance.

Could it be triggered by a missing 'cleanup' phase ?

Looks as a dup for #2539 and #3720.

I trimmed the log because everything started to fail after that point.

If you look in the code:

./ipaserver/install/dsinstance.py

        if ipautil.file_exists(paths.SETUP_DS_PL):
            args = [paths.SETUP_DS_PL, "--silent", "--logfile", "-", "-f", inf_fd.name]
            root_logger.debug("calling setup-ds.pl")
        else:
            args = [paths.DS_NEWINST_PL, inf_fd.name]
            root_logger.debug("calling ds_newinst.pl")
        try:
            ipautil.run(args)
            root_logger.debug("completed creating ds instance")
        except ipautil.CalledProcessError as e:
            root_logger.critical("failed to create ds instance %s" % e)
        # check for open port 389 from now on
        self.open_ports.append(389)

Ipa does nothing with the CalledProcessError, even though setup-ds.pl has returned a non 0 exit status.

This is probably the dup of 2539, but it's also a trivial fix. You probably just need to call your "bail and clean up" handler in the except block.

closing as duplicate of the aforementioned bugs. And moving #2539 to 4.3.1.
