Hello,

the following ansible 2.1.1.0 command hangs:

ansible@ansible:~/playbooks/APS/test$  ansible -vvv 10.162.38.161 -m ping -i /home/ansible/playbooks/APS/inventory/inventory.cfg

the following *ansible 2.1.1.0* command hangs:

ansible@ansible:~/playbooks/APS/test$ ansible -vvv 10.162.38.161 -m ping -i /home/ansible/playbooks/APS/inventory/inventory.cfg

Using /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg as config file

It's hanging on sftp, so it can't copy the files it need.

I'm able to ping that target node

ping 10.162.38.161

PING 10.162.38.161 (163.162.38.161) 56(84) bytes of data.

An Ansible ping is not the same as ICMP ping. Ansible ping is checking Ansible functionality.

This is target sshd_config:

You need to check why sftp is not working aganst the node.
Try copy files manually with sftp. Check you OS logs for error message.
