Hi,
Thanks for the detail.

So, just to clarify some things:

   - ansible-playbook will still be run on a standard Linux machine, that's 
   the controller
   - Ansible doesn't have an agent. It communicates over ssh, nothing to 
   install on the remote-node
   - We are talking about supporting OpenVMS/Itanium as a *remote-node*
   

Assuming you have an inventory file that defines openvms-01

1) If we start with the simplest task:
ansible openvms-01 -m ping
This ensure we have connectivity

2) Then look at 
ansible openvms-01 -m setup -a 'gather_subset=!min'
Which should return something like

SUCCESS => {
    "ansible_facts": {
        "gather_subset": [
            "!min"
        ], 
        "module_setup": true
    }, 
    "changed": false

You can play around with the various gather_subset as defined on 
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/setup_module.html 

3) Then
ansible openvms-01 -m setup -a 'gather_subset=min'


How do those commands seem?


If any fail add -vv and rerun


This should give us an indication of what works "out of the box".


You can see the code for the existing for facts in 
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/tree/devel/lib/ansible/module_utils/facts

Kind regards,
gundalow
