[ansible-project] Query related to junipernetworks.junos.junos_interfaces

[debasmita hazra]

Hello All,

I am just starting out with working on Ansible. Hence, my query might be 
very elementary in nature but I cannot seem to get over it. I am trying to 
basically disable a port on a Juniper switch using the junos_interfaces 
module. However, I run into an error stating the following-*"msg": 
"Unsupported parameters for (junos_interfaces) module: provider Supported 
parameters include: config, running_config, state"*

*}*
This is a new module that got introduced in Ansible 2.9. The new module 
replaced the existing module- junos_interface (without the s at the end). I 
can run the playbook using the old module but not the new module. The old 
module doesn't need a config parameter, unlike the new one. I'd appreciate 
any help in understanding how to overcome this error.

Thanks,
Debasmita

Following are my environment details:

*bash-5.0# ansible --version*

ansible 2.10.2

  config file = /project/ansible.cfg

  configured module search path = ['/root/.ansible/plugins/modules',

  executable location = /usr/bin/ansible

  python version = 3.8.5 (default, Jul 20 2020, 23:11:29) [GCC 9.3.0]



Following is the playbook using the new module:

*bash-5.0# cat port-down-new.yml *

Re: [ansible-project] Advice on build Immutable VM's ( VMware )

[SP]

Thanks @abhijeet and @Dan,
 In my environment i use Ansible for Configuration Management , Virtual 
Machines builds and lot more automation.

How can we make Virtual Machine ( Centos/Redhat linux OS ) immutable once 
vm deployed?

[ansible-project] Limit Log Output

[Troy Fine]

Hello, I was wondering is there a way I can drastically reduce the amount 
of logging that is output while a set of tasks is running?  At the very 
least we’d like to try to limit/eliminate the ‘info’ logging, would be even 
cooler if it also showed the short-hand status ‘changed, passed, etc’ 

`no_log: true` did not accomplish what we wanted 

Thanks!

Re: [ansible-project] Any possible way to setup Ansible on windows 10 without WSL

[Lasse Knudsen]

No that is not possible on Windows. But you can use a Linux VM on your 
local machine to run your playbooks against Windows machines via openSSH or 
WinRM.

We have created a vagrantfile in our project. That file will start a CentOS 
8 machine in VirtualBox with ansible installed. We mount the project 
directory into that machine. Then we only need to log into the machine 
(vagrant ssh) and run the ansible playbooks against linux and windows 
machines. That works pretty good and we also can test our playbooks in our 
own local VM environment.

Lasse

[ansible-project] Ansible roles to configure different multiple wordpress server

[unai abrisketa sanchez]

Hi Team!

I am having a big doubt while using Ansible to deploy my wordpress servers.

I am using the wp-cli utility to install wordpress, so I want to use 
ansible roles in order to execute each role to each server with the 
modifications needed.

For example I have three different server names: dev.akme.eus, 
test.akme.eus and www.akme.eus, Ok, that´s quite easy to do using vars 
folder in ansible roles structure. But at the time to define the hosts to 
execute, I don't understand how can I define each host to use different 
vars, Could I define variables in hosts field in a role? As I have seen, 
role playbooks don't use hosts field.

I am a little bit lost with this topic.

Thanks for support!

Re: [ansible-project] Advice on build Immutable VM's ( VMware )

[Dan Linder]

I'll second @abhijeet and the use of the "vmware_guest" and 
"vmware_guest_sendkey" modules.  It permits you to completely build your 
templates from a known ISO from your vendor (validated with a SHA256 
checksum), using a kickstart file of your own, and no human interaction.  
And if the checksum, kickstart, and "sendkeys" strings are all part of your 
code commit, then you're getting well into "infrastructure as code".

The "immutable" usually refers to container images brought in from an image 
repository, but the VMware template is a close analog to that.  And if you 
can re-produce the same image (as you could with a base docker image), then 
it's both immutable (at that level) and reproducable.

[ansible-project] Ansible automation for SAP - Issue and Best practices

[Pratheek P]

Dear Ansible community,

I want to try out Ansible automation for SAP where we automate SAP 
start/stop, Oracle DB start/stop processes. I'm able to achieve this by 
creating playbooks, using become method to change user and establishing 
open SSH connection from root of Ansible control node to root of SAP 
managed host. Now I have a new requirement to use a non-root user in 
control node and managed host. However, I noticed that when I use the 
non-root user, I'm not able to get the correct environment variables 
required to start/stop SAP as adm user. I want to know what is the 
best way to achieve this and also about the best practices when it comes to 
automating SAP tasks using Ansible. Looking forward to your replies.

Best Regards,
Pratheek. P
