Dear List,

A collegue of mine has added basix AIX support to the setup, user and group modules.  
We have no access to GIT behind the corporate firewall I’m afraid and he has no interest in using GIT anyway 😉

Is it helpfull to just add the diff’s here?

We have tested this on AIX 5.3 and 6.1 and it works “as advertised”

Thanks,

I can graft those pieces in and submit a pull request for them, but unfortunately cannot test them, although if there is anyone else on the list who can test AIX and would like me to do the integration I can do that.

A couple of questions...

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- What version of ansible are you working against

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- Any chance you could just send me the files - the  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;HTML email conversion of a diff may have unexpected  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;damage to the diff, which with my inability to test  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is not a good thing! Alternatively a unified diff  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(diff -u) in plain text would be good.

&nbsp;&nbsp;Nigel.

Hi,

I’ve sent the files in a different email, and as for the version:

mmaas@xmgtansible:~/playbooks$ ansible --version  
ansible 1.1

It is certainly better than not sharing it at all 🙂

I have made the pull-request in your behalf:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/2083](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/2083)

It would have helped considerably if the diff was in unified diff format, however I assume this was done on AIX (without GNU diff :-)).

PS I made one change related to get\_distribution\_facts(), if we know what to do for AIX, we can avoid doing the default first. All the other stuff is cleanly separated so I won't touch it. Please test !

We’re talking old farts here 😉 Old-AIX-users… They do not like all that new fangled GIT stuff…  
Luckily the Colleague in this case has an open mind.

Excellent, thanks, the diff’s are now unified versions. That’s all. But too little too late I guess 😉

Hugely interesting, I'll probably get around to merging the pull  
request this weekend.

If Linux remains happy, that's good, and we'll let others test the AIX!

Not even puppet / Chef have this kind of AIX support 😉

Fixed an error in the get\_cpu\_facts of the AIX class (assumed proc0 as the first processor but can be different in a LPAR environment):

def get\_cpu\_facts(self):  
self.facts[‘processor’] =   
rc, out, err = module.run\_command(“/usr/sbin/lsdev -Cc processor”)  
i = 0  
for line in out.split(‘\n’):
