Unable to redeploy the certificates post-expiry in openshift 3.11

Question

I have deployed openshift(okd) 3.11 using : https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible/tree/release-3.11 I would want to produce a scenario where certificates expire and test how the renewal certificates can be done.

Hence I have set following variables in the inventory as 1 day(so that certificates expire quickly):

openshift_hosted_registry_cert_expire_days=1
openshift_ca_cert_expire_days=1
openshift_master_cert_expire_days=1
etcd_ca_default_days=1

As expected after 1 day the oc commands where not working and master-api, master-etcd pods where in exited state. Now i wanted to renew all the certificates hence i have run the re-deploy certificate play referring to https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/3.11/install_config/redeploying_certificates.html#redeploying-all-certificates-current-ca

ansible-playbook -i openshift-ansible/playbooks/inventory.ini openshift-ansible/playbooks/redeploy-certificates.yml

But the this ansible play gets aborted with error:

Please let me know if im missing out anything while re-deploying certificates or any alternate way where we can renew these certificates.

Update

I have also tried the redeploy-openshift-ca.yml playbook with -e openshift_redeploy_openshift_ca=true:

ansible-playbook -i openshift-ansible/playbooks/inventory.ini openshift-ansible/playbooks/openshift-master/redeploy-openshift-ca.yml -e openshift_redeploy_openshift_ca=true

But this play too fails at the same task as earlier where it is waiting for master-api to be running.

The master-api docker logs shows:
