The structure you have is incomplete. Tasks should go under 'tasks'.  
See [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user\_guide/playbooks\_intro.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_intro.html)  
for some guidance.

Hi ,

As per ansible document only i followed

```auto
- name: Gather facts from a HP iLO interface only if the system is an HP server
  community.general.hpilo_info:
    host: YOUR_ILO_ADDRESS
    login: YOUR_ILO_LOGIN
    password: YOUR_ILO_PASSWORD
  when: cmdb_hwmodel.startswith('HP ')
  delegate_to: localhost
  register: results

- ansible.builtin.fail:
    msg: 'CMDB serial ({{ cmdb_serialno }}) does not match hardware serial ({{ results.hw_system_serial }}) !'
  when: cmdb_serialno != results.hw_system_serial

```

I don't know which document you are referring to. But not every  
document has \*full\* examples.  
Start at the beginning, using the link I posted earlier.  
Just to make sure you get the right link, this is it:
