Hi Mike,
When I say "moved it up one level", I meant I took my hosts file out of the
roles directory and moved it up one level out of there.
Now, back to your suggestions. For your first point, I am not sure I
follow. For example, you said to run my play (I understand this as task)
with 'hosts: testservers'. How would I do that? I thought your hosts: were
defined in the main.yml outside of tasks folder. For example, here is what
I have:
In app_install_main.yml:
---
- name: install app and join systems to domain
hosts: testservers
become: yes
roles:
- app_install
vars_prompt:
- name: "ansible_sudo_pass"
prompt: "Sudo password"
private: yes
It is here where I am calling my hosts: testservers. Then in my
task/main.yml, I have:
---
# tasks file for app_install
- name: Install required nfs packages
yum: name={{ item }} state=present
with_items:
- nfs-utils
- nfs-utils-lib
- name: Create a temporary mount point for the installation files
file: path=/tmp/app_install state=directory owner=root group=root mode=0775
- name: Mount the nfs share from nfsshare.domain.tld
shell: mount -F -t nfs -o vers=3 -v nfsshare.domain.tld:/share/location /tmp
/app_install
- name: Install app on test systems
command: /tmp/app_install/apptool_install arg1
when: "'testserver'in group_names"
- name: Join test systems to test ou
shell: /path/to/domainjoin-cli join --notimesync --disable hostname
--ou OU=test,OU=UNIX,DC=server,DC=domain,DC=tld server.domain.tld
join_account
when: "'testserver' in group_names"
As you can see, I am adding your suggestion here too. I am not sure I grasp
what you mean by "Use multiple plays. Have one play run with 'hosts:
testservers' and another play run on some other set of hosts. Group the
tasks in the appropriate plays". I am still trying to wrap my head around
that.
