Hi all,

I have successfully managed to deploy some cloud servers with ansible 2.0 on openstack, but seem to get stuck on creating the network.

State should not be required according to [http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/os\_network\_module.html](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/os_network_module.html).

When i comment out the state parameter i get:

> TASK [os\_network : OpenStack | create network] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
> 
> fatal: [127.0.0.1]: FAILED! =\> {“changed”: false, “failed”: true, “module\_stderr”: “”, “module\_stdout”: “Traceback (most recent call last):\r\n File "/root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1461078444.28-238290358250568/os\_network", line 2144, in \r\n main()\r\n File "/root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1461078444.28-238290358250568/os\_network", line 78, in main\r\n state = module.params[‘state’]\r\nKeyError: ‘state’\r\n”, “msg”: “MODULE FAILURE”, “parsed”: false}

And when i uncomment the state parameter i get:

> TASK [os\_network : OpenStack | create network] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
> 
> fatal: [127.0.0.1]: FAILED! =\> {“changed”: false, “failed”: true, “msg”: “unsupported parameter for module: state”}

My ansible role looks like:

> * * *
> 
> - name: OpenStack | create network
> 
> os\_network:
> 
> cloud: testing
> 
> state: present
> 
> name: “{{ private\_net\_name }}”
> 
> register: mynetwork

Any help or ideas would greatly be appreciated!

Greets,  
Cees

Hi,

This is very odd. I’m unable to reproduce this with Ansible 2.0. Are you using the latest release?  
Do you have any more verbose output to share, or a complete playbook that reproduced the problem?

I was using a clone from [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/tree/stable-2.0.0.1](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/tree/stable-2.0.0.1), now i’ve installed the latest version via the ppa, but it might jus be that the vm i’m using is a bit messed up. I will create a new, clean vm with just the ppa install and report back.

with the state parameter the verbose output is:

> failed: [127.0.0.1] =\> {“failed”: true, “playbook”: “deploy.yml”, “role”: null, “task”: “OpenStack | create network”}
> 
> msg: unsupported parameter for module: state
> 
> FATAL: all hosts have already failed – aborting

without the state parameter the output is:

> failed: [127.0.0.1] =\> {“failed”: true, “parsed”: false, “playbook”: “deploy.yml”, “role”: null, “task”: “OpenStack | create network”}
