Thanks for taking a look at this Todd. Apologies for the messy output. I

A lot of those debugging steps I added were simply to wrap my head around
what could be causing the condition to be false in task "Add standby
proxysql node".
I will also give the example you showed as a go to reduce the number of
tasks needed to achieve the same result
As you've probably seen, the goal was just to re-order the patching
sequence on the machines starting with the server that has a single IP (the
standby). I was eventually going to add both to a single group called
"nodes" in the preferred order but that failed for the same reason as
above. That was why I split them into 2 groups to try and figure out what
was going on
Appreciated!
