Hi All,
I seem to be having an issue defining a variables in my
/etc/ansible/hosts. When I run a playbook against a host in my inventory,
it seems the variable are not read based on the error messages. For
example, here it seems to not see the network os variable:
ansible-playbook -i csr1, first_playbook_ext_ios2.yml
PLAY [Network Getting Started First Playbook - Change Hostname]
****************************************************************************************************************
TASK [Get old config for ios devices]
******************************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [csr1]: FAILED! => {"msg": "Unable to automatically determine host
network os. Please manually configure ansible_network_os value for this
host"}
PLAY RECAP
*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
csr1 : ok=0 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=1
skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0
Even though the variable is defined and shows up in ansible-inventory:
ansible-inventory --host csr1
{
"ansible_become": true,
"ansible_become_method": "enable",
"ansible_become_password": "cisco",
"ansible_host": "192.168.1.73",
"ansible_network_os": "ios",
"ansible_user": "admin"
}
Here is the hosts file:
cat /etc/ansible/hosts
---
nxos:
hosts:
nxos1:
ansible_host: 192.168.1.71
nxos2:
ansible_host: 192.168.1.72
vars:
ansible_network_os: nxos
ios:
hosts:
csr1:
ansible_host: 192.168.1.73
vars:
ansible_network_os: ios
ansible_become: yes
ansible_become_method: enable
ansible_become_password: cisco
network:
children:
ios:
nxos:
vars:
ansible_user: admin
If I set the os variable manually at the command line, then it seems to
fail on the name alias part:
ansible-playbook -i csr1, first_playbook_ext_ios2.yml -e
ansible_network_os=ios
PLAY [Network Getting Started First Playbook - Change Hostname]
****************************************************************************************************************
TASK [Get old config for ios devices]
******************************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [csr1]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "[Errno -3] Temporary
failure in name resolution"}
PLAY RECAP
*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
csr1 : ok=0 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=1
skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0
Is something obvious wrong with my inventory file? Anything else this
newbie is overlooking?
Thanks in advance.
