Hi

I have been traing to execute a “ls -l” command with ansible on an AIX group nodes but I get the next message error.

[root@machine1 ~]# ansible pdn-aix -a “ls -l”
mdebddp03 | FAILED | rc=0 >>
MODULE FAILURE

epsmdebddp03 | FAILED | rc=0 >>
MODULE FAILURE

mdebddp02 | FAILED | rc=0 >>
MODULE FAILURE

Do you know what is the correct module for this execution?

Thanks for your help,

Hi

I have been traing to execute a "ls -l" command with ansible on an AIX
group nodes but I get the next message error.

Do the nodes have Python installed? If not you need to use the raw module.

[root@machine1 ~]# ansible pdn-aix -a "ls -l"

The default module is command, you can change that with -m <module name>

mdebddp03 | FAILED | rc=0 >>
MODULE FAILURE

epsmdebddp03 | FAILED | rc=0 >>
MODULE FAILURE

mdebddp02 | FAILED | rc=0 >>
MODULE FAILURE

Do you know what is the correct module for this execution?

command is the correct module, but require that Python is installed on the nodes. To run with the raw module that do not require Python on the node run this

ansible pdn-aix -m raw -a "ls -l"

The module raw really works,

ansible pdn-aix -m raw -a “ls -l”
