I am probably have my syntax wrong but I am trying to reduce the amount of code in my playbook when creating cloud block storage volumes using rax_cbs. Here is what it looks like currently and works great:
- name: Build a Block Storage Volume gather_facts: False hosts: localhost connection: local tasks: - name: Create glustor1 local_action: module: rax_cbs name: glustor1 description: brick2 volume_type: SATA size: 100 region: DFW wait: yes state: present meta: app: glustor1 register: raxvolumes - name: Create glustor2 local_action: module: rax_cbs name: glustor2 description: brick2 volume_type: SATA size: 100 region: DFW wait: yes state: present meta: app: glustor2 register: raxvolumes - name: Create glustor3 local_action: module: rax_cbs name: glustor3 description: brick3 volume_type: SATA size: 100 region: DFW wait: yes state: present meta: app: glustor3 register: raxvolumes - name: Create glustor4 local_action: module: rax_cbs name: glustor4 description: brick4 volume_type: SATA size: 100 region: DFW wait: yes state: present meta: app: glustor4 register: raxvolumes And I have tried the following based on http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_loops.html but it errors due to item not being defined: - name: Build a Block Storage Volume # I also tried changing {{ item }} to {{ format }} gather_facts: False hosts: localhost connection: local tasks: - name: Create glustor bricks local_action: module: rax_cbs name: "{{ item }}" description: Glustor Brick volume_type: SATA size: 100 region: DFW wait: yes state: present with_sequence: start=1 end=4 format=glustor%d register: raxvolumes TASK: [Create glustor bricks] ************************************************* fatal: [localhost] => One or more undefined variables: 'item' is undefined FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting Also tried the following: - name: Build a Block Storage Volume gather_facts: False hosts: localhost connection: local tasks: - name: Create glustor bricks local_action: module: rax_cbs name: "{{ item }}" description: Glustor Brick volume_type: SATA size: 100 region: DFW wait: yes state: present with_items: - glustor1 - glustor2 - glustor3 - glustor4 register: raxvolumes TASK: [Create glustor bricks] ************************************************* fatal: [localhost] => One or more undefined variables: 'item' is undefined FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
