Thank you. I am running a self-hosted engineVM, and having difficulty connecting the dots so ansible can talk to vms within the self-hosted engineVM.
Below is my setup- inventory dir with files *cat ~/ansible/inventory/prod/hosts* [ovirt] ovirt 192.168.1.100 *cat ~/ansible/inventory/prod/ovirt.ini* [ovirt] ovirt_url = https://*engine.ovirt/*ovirt-engine/api # this is self hosted engine. so invoking ./ovirt4.py fails with http error as physical host is 'ovirt' but self-hosted-engine fqdn is 'engine.ovirt' ovirt_username = admin@internal ovirt_password = password ovirt_ca_file = ca.pem . # this sits on my local machine running ovirt4.py standalone fails as mentioned above. *cat ~/ansible/playbook.yml* --- name: Talk to self-hosted-engine server hosts: ovirt tasks: - name: Hello server debug: msg: Hello server --- name: Talk to self-hosted-engine VM hosts: status_up tasks: - name: Hello vms debug: msg: Hello vms *ansible-playbook -i ~/ansible/inventories/prod playbook.yml # prod folder has .ini, .py and static hosts file as above* PLAY [Talk to self-hosted-engine server] ********************************************************************************************** TASK [Gathering Facts] **************************************************************************************************************** ok: [ovirt] TASK [Hello server] ******************************************************************************************************************* ok: [ovirt] => { "msg": "Hello server" } [WARNING]: Could not match supplied host pattern, ignoring: status_up PLAY [Talk to self-hosted-engine VM] ************************************************************************************************** *skipping: no hosts matched* PLAY RECAP **************************************************************************************************************************** ovirt : ok=2 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0 Is there something i am missing?
