This Ansible iLO REST role for HPE iLO is intended to provide an simple solution for user to manage server setting
Examples should be run in the root folder. Note that the library folder is automatically searched by Ansible for modules when running from playbooks.
Example command to run restart_server.yml:
ansible-playbook restart_server.yml
A verbose version can be run with
ansible-playbook restart_server.yml -v
ansible_main.yml is the updated playbook.
The example modules provided here are based off the example scripts in the python-ilorest-library. These are run through local login, thus ensuring playbooks will work for every assigned server without issue.
Due to the nature of ansible, and the need for modules to be self-contained, we have to integrate the contents of _restobject.py and _redfishobject.py into our module first.
Additionally, we need the boilerplate code from ansible.module_tils.basic:
from ansible.module_utils.basic import AnsibleModule
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
Do note that in our case, we use the * import. prior to Ansible-2.1.0 importing only what you required did not work, hence the use of a wildcard import.
Next, the module class needs to be instantiated like so:
def main():
module = AnsibleModule(
argument_spec = dict(
state = dict(default='present', choices=['present', 'absent']),
name = dict(required=True),
enabled = dict(required=True, type='bool'),
something = dict(aliases=['whatever'])
)
)
The arguments provided here can be set to correspond to the arguments passed in the playbook, enabling the setting of values and commands.
Playbooks are a series of tasks that are performed on the remote machine.
Debug core module can be used to return debug messages.
Debug Examples
# Example that prints the loopback address and gateway for each host
- debug: msg="System {{ inventory_hostname }} has uuid {{ ansible_product_uuid }}"
- debug: msg="System {{ inventory_hostname }} has gateway {{ ansible_default_ipv4.gateway }}"
when: ansible_default_ipv4.gateway is defined
- shell: /usr/bin/uptime
register: result
- debug: var=result verbosity=2
- name: Display all variables/facts known for a host
debug: var=hostvars[inventory_hostname] verbosity=4
