The task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error was: ‘ansible.parsing.yaml.objects.AnsibleUnicode object’ has no attribute ‘storage_nic’
The error appears to be in ‘/mnt/c/GitHub/penguinpages_cluster_devops/cluster_devops/roles/task_network_hosts.yml’: line 63, column 3, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.
The offending line appears to be:

You don't show the task which uses nmlci_module and provides storage_nic information.
inventory_hostname.storage_nic is totally bogus as a string can't be a nested variable.
Well. I was trying to keep it simple and just validate the variable call was valid before trying to use it in a task.
But task would be something along lines of:
- name: Get server storage IP address from /etc/hosts
command: "grep '{{ inventory_hostname }}s' /etc/hosts | awk '{ print $1 }'"
register: storage_ip
So the result of the command is stored in the variable storage_ip and the output of the command
is stored in storage_ip.stdout (as string) and storage_ip.stdout_lines (list of output lines).
To show the result:
debug:
var: storage_ip
- task: # Set Storage IP for host
nmci:
ipaddress: {{storage_ip}}
interface: {{ inventory_hostname.storage_nic }}
mask: 24
mtu: 9000
