Ok, so I bit the bullet and upgraded to ansible 2.6.2.
The nxos_facts command no longer blows up on the older images.
It doesn't return any actual facts either, but not blowing up is good -
maybe. I do like the idea of failing early and failing loudly.
"hw_facts": {
"ansible_facts": {
"ansible_net_gather_subset": [
"default"
],
"ansible_net_hostname": null,
"ansible_net_image": null,
"ansible_net_model": null,
"ansible_net_serialnum": null,
"ansible_net_version": null
},
"changed": false,
"failed": false
}
