Hi Ansible team,

I am using the CSV file as below for nfs volume migration as we have 1000 servers with 100 volumes. Hence, i would like to make to host inventory using add\_host file instead using inventory file. However, the loop is failing when i use add\_host module, if the server has more than one volume . would anyone please help me on this request as i would like to mount all the volumes on respective servers as per CSV input?

# cat mounts.csv

host,remote\_path,mnt\_path,python  
host1,nfsflr01:/volahcstg\_www\_masup\_stg\_data\_01,/myasup/stg/data,/usr/bin/python2.6  
host1,nfsflr02:/volahcstg\_www\_masup\_stg\_app\_01,/myasup/stg/app,/usr/bin/python2.6  
host2,nfsflr01:/volahcstg\_www\_masup\_stg\_data\_01,/myasup/stg/data,/usr/bin/python2.6  
host2,nfsflr02:/volahcstg\_www\_masup\_stg\_app\_01,/myasup/stg/app,/usr/bin/python2.6

# cat mounts.yml

I hope that it might be design of the add\_host module. Is there any ways to disable the BYPASS\_HOST\_LOOP = True parameter in add\_host module to enable the iteration or please suggest me if there any other ways to achieve my requirement
