Having issue with BigIP F5 modules

Hi,

I’m currently experiencing issue on BigIP F5 modules. My playboooks do not run on AWX environment but work CLI mode.
Here is an output of the error:

Looks like a python module import error. Did you install f5 python sdk?
If not, see if that helps. I’d go with new virtual environment setup, that would be used only for bigip related templates/projects.

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/latest/html/upgrade-migration-guide/virtualenv.html
This will guide you through virtual env setup. Once you have iit up and running, run pip install f5-sdk

Then in awx interface change the virtual environment to the new one on project or template basis.

Many thanks for your feedback, really appreciate.
I did follow your reco on installing f5-sdk on a new fresh venv in awx-task container

I kept default location in /var/lib/awx/venv/

Here an output of pip package installed.

(LTM) bash-4.4# pip freeze
ansible==2.9.12
certifi==2020.6.20
cffi==1.14.2
chardet==3.0.4
cryptography==3.0
f5-icontrol-rest==1.3.13
f5-sdk==3.0.21
idna==2.10
Jinja2==2.11.2
MarkupSafe==1.1.1
pycparser==2.20
PyYAML==5.3.1
requests==2.24.0
six==1.15.0
urllib3==1.25.10

(LTM) bash-4.4# ansible localhost -m debug -a “var=ansible_playbook_python”
localhost | SUCCESS => {
“ansible_playbook_python”: “/var/lib/awx/venv/LTM/bin/python3.6”
}

But no effect on AWX playbook, which still fail, as I do not know where to find Virtual Environment list box to change environment.

Many thanks.
