Hi @ansible folks,

Recently I found an Ansible error while installing Opnfv-Apex. I’m getting the below error message while deploying. It seems to be Ansible playbook failed error.

**Error Message :**

Did you get those playbooks from  
[https://github.com/opnfv/apex/tree/master/lib/ansible/playbooks](https://github.com/opnfv/apex/tree/master/lib/ansible/playbooks) ?  
If so, just a link would have been sufficient, rather than copy pasting them as an unreadable piece of HTML email.

In any case, those playbooks are part of a much larger set of playbooks and code. They’re highly specific to the OPNFV project. I would suggest asking the people/authors over there first.

Dick
