Hi - I've got a few questions....I have a variable (dictionary with lists I
think is what it is? Is this the correct name/term?)
dns_nat_dc1_records:
- { zone: 'test.com', name: 'server1', target: '192.168.1.10', type:
'ARecord', state: 'present' }
- { zone: 'test.com', name: 'server2', target: '192.168.1.11', type:
'ARecord', state: 'present' }
- { zone: 'test.com', name: 'crl', target: '192.168.1.12', type: 'ARecord'
, state: 'present' }
- { zone: 'test.com', name: 'server1', target: '192.168.100.10', type:
'ARecord', state: 'absent' }
- { zone: 'test.com', name: 'server2', target: '192.168.100.11', type:
'ARecord', state: 'absent' }
- { zone: 'test.com', name: 'crl', target: '192.168.100.12', type:
'ARecord', state: 'absent' }
dns_nat_dc2_records:
- { zone: 'test.com', name: 'server1', target: '192.168.100.10', type:
'ARecord', state: 'present' }
- { zone: 'test.com', name: 'server2', target: '192.168.100.11', type:
'ARecord', state: 'present' }
- { zone: 'test.com', name: 'crl', target: '192.168.100.12', type:
'ARecord', state: 'present' }
- { zone: 'test.com', name: 'server1', target: '192.168.1.10', type:
'ARecord', state: 'absent' }
- { zone: 'test.com', name: 'server2', target: '192.168.1.11', type:
'ARecord', state: 'absent' }
- { zone: 'test.com', name: 'crl', target: '192.168.1.12', type: 'ARecord'
, state: 'absent' }
I have a couple of plays.....
- name: Ensure DNS NAT A/CNAME Records are present/absent for running in DC1
win_dsc:
resource_name: xDnsRecord
Zone: "{{ item.zone }}"
Name: "{{ item.name }}"
Target: "{{ item.target }}"
Type: "{{ item.type }}"
Ensure: "{{ item.state }}"
loop: "{{ dns_nat_dc1_records }}"
when: (env == 'dev' or env == 'stg') and active_site == 'dc1'
- name: Ensure DNS NAT A/CNAME Records are present/absent for running in DC2
win_dsc:
resource_name: xDnsRecord
Zone: "{{ item.zone }}"
Name: "{{ item.name }}"
Target: "{{ item.target }}"
Type: "{{ item.type }}"
Ensure: "{{ item.state }}"
loop: "{{ dns_nat_dc2_records }}"
when: (env == 'dev' or env == 'stg') and active_site == 'dc2'
What I've observed (whether I'm running either task in the play) is the DNS
entries aren't present if I specify the state of "absent". If these lines
are commented out the entries are created (and if running the play multiple
times and specifying the remote site (e.g dc2 instead of dc1 to trigger the
dc2 play task) duplicate DNS entries will be created of the hostname
(different IP as expected).
I've debugged the play and it appears to be looping through in correct
order - I've read older posts on forums where apparently dictionary's are
looped in random order (is this still true - I haven't seen it). For
clarification - the vars I listed above - that is a dictionary with a list
right?
Can I loop through the var by first running through the key of "state" and
value of "absent". I was trying to use dictsort on the loop but couldn't
get the correct syntax. E.g loop: "{{ dns_nat_dc1_records |
dictsort(false,'absent') }}"
Have I missed anything obvious?
