Hello, I'm pretty new in ansible, so excuse me for this (stupid?) question, but it bothers me.
I'm trying to set up LVM on the remote host with ansible. Here is my role: --- - name: install lvm2 yum: name: "{{ item }}" state: present with_items: - lvm2 tags: - install - name: select a drive for LVM shell: "fdisk -l |grep vdb | awk '{print $2}'" register: drive_for_lvm tags: - configure - set_fact: drive_for_lvm: "{{ drive_for_lvm.stdout_lines }}" tags: - configure - set_fact: drive_for_lvm: "{{ drive_for_lvm|replace(':','') }}" tags: - configure ############################## ADD LVM ########################### - name: create VG lvg: vg: vg_test pvs: "{{ drive_for_lvm }}" pesize: 16 tags: - configure - name: create LV lvol: vg: vg_test lv: lv_test size: 100%FREE pvs: "{{ drive_for_lvm }}" tags: - configure When I execute it, I've got this: root@ubuntu-latest:~/ansible# ansible-playbook -i group_vars/ playbook.yml --skip-tags=install PLAY [test] ******************************************************************************************************************************** TASK [lvm : select a drive for LVM] ******************************************************************************************************** changed: [docker2] TASK [lvm : set_fact] ********************************************************************************************************************** ok: [docker2] TASK [lvm : set_fact] ********************************************************************************************************************** ok: [docker2] TASK [lvm : create VG] ********************************************************************************************************************* changed: [docker2] TASK [lvm : create LV] ********************************************************************************************************************* fatal: [docker2]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "err": " Physical Volume \"[/dev/vdb]\" not found in Volume Group \"vg_test\".\n", "msg": "Creating logical volume 'lv_test' failed", "rc": 5} Then, I verified the host called "docker2" if it contains PVS /dev/vdb (and it does). [root@docker2 ~]# pvs |grep vdb /dev/vdb vg_test lvm2 a-- 4.98g 4.98g So why ansible says that there is no such physical volume? I finally edited main.yml inside the role (just commented out pvs section in last task): - name: create VG lvg: vg: vg_test pvs: "{{ drive_for_lvm }}" pesize: 16 tags: - configure - name: create LV lvol: vg: vg_test lv: lv_test size: 100%FREE # pvs: "{{ drive_for_lvm }}" tags: - configure And it works as expected.. Can somebody explain the difference? It is a bug or what? Best regards! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
