[ansible-project] Strategies for testing if network range available

My goal is to fail early and warn if storage network not set up (and set up mounts if it is set up). I've an approach that seems to work OK, but was wondering if there is a preferred/better path set_fact: has_storage_lan: '{{ ansible_all_ipv4_addresses|join()|match("10.0.20.") }}' This

Re: [ansible-project] "/bin/sh" isn\'t allowed to be executed

I think I've figured out what is causing the issue. I don't know what to do solve the issue. Sudosh has been configured to only allow certain commands via remote shell. On a test system running more or less the same setup I can configure sudosh (/etc/sudosh.conf) to allow all commands. I don't

Re: [ansible-project] "/bin/sh" isn\'t allowed to be executed

Hi Brian, The command and output is below. The thing that I find odd is that, to the best of my knowledge, ansible uses the ssh client config of user by default. The same user that runs ansible (root in this case) gets the correct username (not root) and SSH key from ~/.ssh/config and is able to

Re: [ansible-project] Ansible fails to execute a playbook when the value for 'hosts' is defined somewhere in inventory

No, inventory vars are always flattened to the host, 'all' is a way to assign a variable to all hosts, but it is still 'host level'. Use vars/vars_files or extra_vars instead. -- Brian Coca -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project"

It would help if you show the commands attempted and the full error, even using -vvv to make the output verbose. - Brian Coca -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails

Re: [ansible-project] Schedule Playbook with crontab

bin/ansible is for Adhoc tasks, you want bin/ansible-playbook is for executing playbooks this makes no sense: /usr/bin/ansible /home/ansibleuser/ansible/playbooks/ansible-playbook device_bak_2.yml I think you want: /usr/bin/ansible-playbook /home/ansibleuser/ansible/playbooks/device_bak_2.yml

this is the maximum allocated run time set for the task in your example: - run the simulated long running task for a max of 45 s (in the case of long running task, you do not want it to run for ever) - poll status every 5 second (so every 5 seconds there is to check the status like whether the

Thanks Philippe, "Poll - 0" means that never check the status as the connection will be broken. What does "async - 1" means ? Can you explain this example to me ? - name: simulate long running op (15 sec), wait for up to 45 sec, poll every 5 sec command: /bin/sleep 15 async: 45
