The parameter "unity\_updates" seems to be wrong. Make sure the parenthesis,  
quotation and other items are correct. Try to create the list (if  
"unity\_updates" is really a list) of dictionaries first and take a look at  
the debug whether this is what you want. For example, or rather as a  
demonstration of the proposal (I have no idea of the module's details)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- set\_fact:  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;unity\_updates: "{{ unity\_updates|default() +  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[{resource\_type: storageResource,  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;fields: 'name:{{ lun\_name }},  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;lunParameters: {pool: {id: "{{ pool\_id }}"}},  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;size: "{{ lun\_size }}",  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;isThinEnabled:"true",  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;isDataReductionEnabled:"false"}',  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;action: 'createLun'}] }}"  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- debug:  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;var: unity\_updates

Cheers,

HI Team

I am having a tough time on changing the mgmt ip address via URI module and even properly having login info, logout and updating headers.  
Still I get “HTTP Error 401”

The URL which I update is via POST  
“https://\<unity\_ip\>/api/instances/mgmtInterfaces/mgmt\_ipv4/action/modify”

request your thoughts

thanks
