Hi,

i have to understand “synchronize” module with “delegate\_to”  
i am installing corosync on 2 nodes

here infos:

[corosync]  
node\_a ansible\_host=192.168.122.200  
node\_b ansible\_host=192.168.122.201

playbook.yml

- name: Generates corosync key  
command: corosync-keygen  
args:  
creates: /etc/corosync/authkey  
when: inventory\_hostname == groups[corosync][0]

- name: Copy authkey to other nodes ###task stop here###  
synchronize: src=/etc/corosync/authkey dest=/etc/corosync/authkey  
delegate\_to: “{{ groups[corosync][0] }}”  
when: inventory\_hostname != groups[corosync][0]

is this the best way to use delegate\_to ?

thanks
