Ansible not checking the hostname

Archives Ansible Project
1

I have create a yml to show the username /hostname and touch a file. It it not connecting to the remote host rather does everything locally.

ping-pong:

ansible fim-server -m ping

clsadanan06 | SUCCESS => {
“changed”: false,
“ping”: “pong”
}
xxxxxxxx | SUCCESS => {
“changed”: false,
“ping”: “pong”
}
ihavenothing | SUCCESS => {
“changed”: false,
“ping”: “pong”
}
zzzzzzzz | SUCCESS => {
“changed”: false,
“ping”: “pong”
}

inventory file:

[fim-server]
clsadanan06 ansible_user=muthus ansible_sudo_pass=Apr2019!
ihavenothing
xxxxxxxx
zzzzzzzz

yml script:

  • name: WAS Verification
    hosts: fim-server

tasks:

  • name: Hostname
    command: “hostname”
    register: out
  • debug:
    msg: “Output: {{ out.stdout }}”
  • name: ID
    command: “id -un”
    register: out
  • debug:
    msg: “Output: {{ out.stdout }}”
  • name: file creation
    file:
    dest: /tmp/1.test
    state: touch

output:

can you run with -vvv? it looks like its doing what you are asking on those hosts. Are those hosts resolving to local ?

3

out of the 4 hosts mentioned - only one is reachable via ssh (verified) others are just dummy , ansible is doing all the actions in local not on the remote and not saying it is not reachable

few bits of -vvv

its resolving to something. Can you run a dig on those hostnames? can you try to do a ssh or ping to them?

5

Hi,

Why do you have same register name in both tasks, can you change and try it?

how does your ansible.cfg look like ? what about the inventory in /etc/ansible ?

8

cat ansible.cfg
[defaults]
inventory = ./inventories/environments/ad
roles_path = …/isds-additional-ansible-roles:…/isam-additional-ansible-roles:…/…/external/isam-ansible-roles:…/…/external/isds-ansible-roles:…/…/external/isam-ansible-ro

ansible_python_interpreter = /u/ibm/iambuild/psantest2/bin/python
vault_id_match = true
retry_files_enabled = false
#retry_files_save_path =“~/”
#enable_task_debugger = True

#callback_whitelist = profile_tasks, profile_roles
#stdout_callback = log_plays
#stdout_callback = profile_roles
display_skipped_hosts = no
show_custom_stats = yes

Inventory:

My worry is - why Ansible not asying anything for unreachable dummy hostnames ??? which is not at all available anywhere
