hello,  
I am running task on multiple nodes and task fails, when any one of the node is unreachable.

Any idea, how to overcome it.

here is my Ansible Script.

- hosts:
- all  
name: Search APPID  
gather\_facts: false  
serial: 1  
become: no  
any\_errors\_fatal: false

tasks:

- set\_fact: env\_var=“{{ lookup(‘env’,‘HOME’) }}”

- command: python “{{env\_var}}/script/searchapp.py”  
register: ps

- debug: var=ps

- hosts:

- localhost  
name: Merge APPID  
gather\_facts: false  
serial: 1  
become: no
