nxos_portchannel not creating port channel

Archives Ansible Project

I have the following module invocation:

  • name: Create port-channels on the ToR(s)
    nxos_portchannel:
    host: “{{ item.switch }}”
    transport: cli
    group: “{{ item.interface | regex_replace(‘[1]+([0-9]+)$’, ‘\1’) }}”
    members: “{{ item.port_list }}”
    mode: “{{ item.mode | default(‘active’) }}”
    state: present
    force: true
    with_items: “{{ port_data | default() }}”
    when: item.port_list is defined
    register: command_result

When I run the playbook, it thinks the port-channel is already there:

TASK [Create port-channels on the ToR(s)] **************************************
ok: [localhost] => (item={u’switch’: u’csn-sjc18-n9k3.ciscolabs.net’, u’port_list’: [u’Eth1/32’], u’vpc’: 32, u’interface’: u’Port-channel32’, u’port_profile’: u’rhev-host’, u’desc’: u’rhev1.rhat’})

But it is not:

csn-sjc18-n9k3# show port-channel summary
1 Po1(SU) Eth NONE Eth2/12(P)
2 Po2(SU) Eth LACP Eth2/1(P)
3 Po3(SU) Eth LACP Eth1/1(P) Eth1/2(P)
4 Po4(SU) Eth LACP Eth1/3(P) Eth1/4(P)
5 Po5(SU) Eth LACP Eth1/5(P)
6 Po6(SU) Eth LACP Eth1/6(P)
7 Po7(SU) Eth LACP Eth1/7(P)
300 Po300(SU) Eth NONE Eth1/45(P) Eth1/46(P)

The results has a “proposed” section, but no “updates” sections. Does that mean Ansible thinks it needs to make a change, but doesn’t actually make it?
