Hi all, so this may be simple but I can’t seem to figure it out. 
I built a new RHEL8 server from my RHEL7 system and ran my playbooks as normally would and now I’m getting these errors:
WARNING]: sftp transfer mechanism failed on [host1-lx]. Use ANSIBLE_DEBUG=1 to see detailed information
[WARNING]: scp transfer mechanism failed on [host1-lx]. Use ANSIBLE_DEBUG=1 to see detailed information

Hii
Hi all, so this may be simple but I can't seem to figure it out.
I built a new RHEL8 server from my RHEL7 system and ran my playbooks as normally would and now I'm getting these errors:
Building to me means creating from scratch - I assume you meant you
upgraded a RHEL7 to RHEL8?
Also it is not clear whether this built (or upgraded) RHEL8 system is
the controller node or one of the managed nodes. Please specify.

This would indicate an authentication issue. I would look at
SSH/config changes between RHEL7 and 8.
I was unable to do a successful RHEL 7 → 8 upgrade. So I did a clean install on a separate system and moved all of my content over to that system. The RHEL8 system is the controller node. I am using the same ssh keys from the RHEL7 system.
