Your debug is indented to far, remove one space.
Problem 2)
Add mac address to existing inventory file or, if not possible, at
least in
some file
Just as a stupid test I tried adding the following code at the end:
- set_fact: vm_mac_address="prova"
- name: Register host to Inventory
lineinfile:
path: /etc/ansible/testvmcdromiso/inventory
regexp: '(testvm)'
line: '\1 macaddres={{ vm_mac_address }}'
backrefs: yes [root@nlnxmi1 testvmcdromiso]# cat inventory
[testhost]
testvm macaddress=prova
but as you can see I just used a "fixed" string instead I need to get
the
mac address from the running vm but never figure it out even after 2
days
of attempts :(
I'm just a beginner with ansible. Could you please help me?
Just remove the set_fact and use the variable directly
line: '\1 macaddress={{
vm_guest_facts.virtual_machines["\1"].mac_address }}'
