Package: ansible
Version: 2.1.1.0-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I want to use Ansible to configure some CentOS 7 hosts. I can log in to
the host using my SSH key, using the name or the IP of the host without
any problems.
With Ansible, the situattion looks like this (sample):
$ ping hostname
PING hostname (172.20.168.27) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 172.20.168.27 (172.20.168.27): icmp_seq=1 ttl=62 time=1.96 ms
64 bytes from 172.20.168.27 (172.20.168.27): icmp_seq=2 ttl=62 time=1.91 ms
^C
--- hostname ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1001ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.913/1.940/1.968/0.051 ms
$ cat smallhosts
172.20.168.27
hostname
$ ansible -i smallhosts -m ping all
hostname | UNREACHABLE! => {
"changed": false,
"msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh.",
"unreachable": true
}
172.20.168.27 | SUCCESS => {
"changed": false,
"ping": "pong"
}
As you can see, I listed the host twice in the inventory, once by IP,
and once by name. If I try to contact the host by name, ansible falls
over.
I don't expect anyone to fix this problem at this point, but would
rather use this case to support the other request for packaging 2.2,
which seems to have fixed several problems in this area.
Thank you!
Cheers,
Toni
