This is what I got when I ran:
TASK [Include vars of server.yaml file]
****************************************************************************************************************************************************************
task path: /etc/ansible/roles/secwinupdates/tasks/main.yml:12
fatal: [server1]: FAILED! => {
"ansible_facts": {
"server": {}
},
"ansible_included_var_files": [],
"changed": false,
"message": "Could not find or access
'/etc/ansible/servers/win_us_bgrsuistg.yaml' on the Ansible Controller.\nIf
you are using a module and expect the file to exist on the remote, see the
remote_src option"
}
fatal: [server2]: FAILED! => {
"ansible_facts": {
"server": {}
},
"ansible_included_var_files": [],
"changed": false,
"message": "Could not find or access
'/etc/ansible/servers/win_us_bgrsuistg.yaml' on the Ansible Controller.\nIf
you are using a module and expect the file to exist on the remote, see the
remote_src option"
}
fatal: [server3]: FAILED! => {
"ansible_facts": {
"server": {}
},
"ansible_included_var_files": [],
"changed": false,
"message": "Could not find or access
'/etc/ansible/servers/win_us_bgrsuistg.yaml' on the Ansible Controller.\nIf
you are using a module and expect the file to exist on the remote, see the
remote_src option"
}
This is what my host file looks like:
[win_us_bgrsuistg]
server1 ansible_host=x.x.x.x
server2 ansible_host=x.x.x.x
server3 ansible_host=x.x.x.x
I tried to create a seperate yaml file for the servers, called win_us_bgrsuistg
, which includes the server1, server2, server 3 names in it, I then got the
below error:
fatal: [server1]: FAILED! => {
"ansible_facts": {
"server": {}
},
"ansible_included_var_files": [],
"changed": false,
"message": "/etc/ansible/servers/win_us_bgrsuistg.yaml must be stored
as a dictionary/hash"
