Hello all
I am trying to get started with CloudStack provisioning, and am running into a problem. I have a task defined which should do 3 actions:

  • Instantiate 2 VMs (linsrv04 & linsrv05)
  • Open ports in the firewall
  • Create a portforward from the opened public port to the VM.
    Steps 1 & 2 finish successfully: However, task 3 fails.

$ ansible-playbook -i inventory.yml cloudstack_provision.yml

re-running in -vvvv mode, I see the following for the failure:

I don’t understand why I have the specific error the VMs can’t be found. Here is a slightly edited list of VMs running in the cloud account …

Name State Offering Zone Account IP’s
linsrv04 Running 1vCPU-2660MHz-4GB-RAM US-NEW-NUT-G-V-A-R-S-001 Cloud_Compute_USD.rose@**.com 10.1.0.22
linsrv05 Running 1vCPU-2660MHz-4GB-RAM US-NEW-NUT-G-V-A-R-S-001 Cloud_Compute_USD.rose@**.com 10.1.0.23
Total number of virtual machines: 11

Here is the task/main.yml file:

  • name: Build VM or ensure it is already established.
    local_action:
    module : cs_instance
    api_region : “{{ api_region }}” ## This is in the ./cloudstack.ini file.
    name : “{{ inventory_hostname_short }}”
    service_offering : “{{ cs_1cpu4gb }}”
    template : “{{ iso_template }}”
    ip_to_networks :
  • network : “{{ network }}”
    ip : “{{ ansible_host }}”
    zone : “{{ cs_zone }}”
    state : started
  • name: Ensure ports opened on Public IP address

local_action:
module : cs_firewall
api_region : “{{ api_region }}” ## This is in the ./cloudstack.ini file.
cidr : 0.0.0.0/0
ip_address : “{{ public_ip }}” ## This is the IP Address of the internal VM.
port : “{{ ansible_ssh_public_port }}” ## Open the public port.

when : public_ip is defined

  • name: Ensure firewall port(s) opened and forward ports from public port to private port.

local_action:
module : cs_portforward
api_region : “{{ api_region }}” ## This is in the ./cloudstack.ini file.
ip_address : “{{ public_ip }}” ## This is the Public IP Address
vm : “{{ inventory_hostname }}”
public_port : “{{ ansible_ssh_public_port }}”
private_port : “{{ ansible_ssh_port }}”
protocol : tcp

open_firewall : true

Appreciate any help or direction anyone can provide …

And here is how it is called …

  • name: Provision, or ensure as provisioned, VM instances in the ** Cloud.
    hosts: “{{ cs_hosts }}”
    connection: local
    become: no
    gather_facts: yes
    roles:
  • cloudstack_provision

Thanks!
