[ansible-devel] Repeating a task based on a csv string
Hello All, I am a complete newbie and have only spent hours reading about ansible and this forum. I have been (un;)fortunate to work with ansible devs, so haven't had to get my hands dirty :( Anyway here I am and ready to get my hands dirty. There is a specific nut I am trying to crack in ansible. We have Ansible Tower and want to dev a job template that add disks to and server instance. The size and number of disk will be provided as an extra_var csv string, eg. 10,100,25,200 would add 4 disks of sizes 10GB, 100GB, 25GB & 200GB. We have the task ready and it works, so adding one disk is not a problem, but how do we then repeat that task for the next disk? Its not a question of nuts and bolts of adding disks, its a question how do we take the csv string (not file) and then loop the task. Looks like this is possible in Ansible, as per the below articles. http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/playbooks_loops.html https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/ansible-project/.split$20with_items$20comma|sort:date/ansible-project/jpqKAXezl40/TItF3W48AAAJ https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/ansible-project/.split|sort:date/ansible-project/QmvdMpaLxwY/Czv0irDoCgAJ https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/ansible-project/.split|sort:date/ansible-project/x2MCN2Qc4GU/fQSvxJEiAQAJ Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Development" group.

Or should this sort of thing be done via a module?
