Hi there,

I please need some info on how to configure/customize the ansible environment on Solaris 11.  
I managed the install ok, but what now? do I , like Linux, create /etc/ansible … etc …etc…

What the install did not create was paths to/from the modules?

Actually any direction to a doc that can help me out, would be great…

Herbie

The directory /etc/ansible is an optional default, you don’t need it to run Ansible.

You don’t mention how you installed Ansible nor what you want to customize, so I cannot give you any details. Mostly you just need a reference ansible.cfg and everything stem from there.
