Hi guys,

We have Ansible 1.9.1.

I’m working on integration with F5 VIPs using the “bigip” modules supplied with Ansible installation (bigip\_pool\_member). At first i tried to use it and received errors like: “unsupported parameter for module: session\_state” which is state to exist from Ansible version 2.0.

Since we do not want to upgrade yet i downloaded the new modules from [https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras/tree/devel/network/f5](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras/tree/devel/network/f5) and put them in our custom modules library.

So now i do not get the “unsupported parameter for module: session\_state” error but i do get the following error:

fatal: [localhost] =\> imported module support code does not exist at /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ansible/module\_utils/f5.py

any ideas how i can overcome this (besides just coping that file there)?

thanks

those modules rely on features only present in 2.0

Found a way to overcome this.

Basically i just copy the F5.py and change the import in the module.

Copy Task

- name: Upload python f5 support module  
copy: src=library/linux/f5/f5.py dest=/tmp/f5.py

within bigip\_pool\_member.py:

import sys  
sys.path.append(‘/tmp’)  
from f5 import \*
