Hi all
So far we have been using simple bash scripts to facilitate starting our
Weblogic servers which run on Solaris zones. I am now in the process of
trying to setup proper Ansible playbooks for the entire server setup and
start. So far this works great, but now I hit a wall:
I wrote a task which calls the management script for a WLS domain and
starts a Weblogic admin server. (The script is essentially just a wrapper
around Weblogic scripting tools.)
# Start admin server
- name: start admin server
shell: managementscript startAdminServer some-domain-name chdir=/
environment: env
register: dump
# Print stdout
- name: check
debug: var=dump.stdout_lines
I can see that this results in *managementscript startAdminServer
some-domain-name* being executed as a shell command - and according to the
logs (as printed by the second task) everything works fine. The stdout
shows as last lines:
"<Jan 8, 2015 9:39:21 AM MET> <Notice> <WebLogicServer> <BEA-000365>
<Server state changed to RUNNING.> ",
"<Jan 8, 2015 9:39:21 AM MET> <Notice> <WebLogicServer> <BEA-000360> <The
server started in RUNNING mode.> "
This is exactly how a successful admin server start looks like on the
console if I do it manually...
However if I connect to the remote host and check for running servers, *the
admin server* we supposedly just started *is nowhere to be found*!
This is especially confusing as I can manually simulate the ansible
behavior by executing
ssh root@my-remote-host "PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/data/bin managementscript
startAdminServer some-domain-name"
.. on the command line (note that the above used *env* variable sets
exactly the path used in the ssh statement).
This goes through, shows the exact same stdout output BUT also successfully
starts the server.
- How can ansible show me logs of a successful server start, but fail to
actually start the server?
- How does the execution of my task in a playbook differ from the
manually composed *ssh* statement?
