Hi Joanna, Thanks for your post, I just tried your suggestion but still isn't working. But you pointed me in the right direction. I was running ec2_facts as a local action which was incorrect and using a tripple debug flag I noticed that aws_access_key and aws_secret_key were null, seems kind of dump having to set them up as variables for ec2_vol to work, but after doing that but it worked, bellow how I end up doing it
--- # tasks file for cassandra - name: gather ec2 facts action: ec2_facts register: ec2_facts - debug: var=ec2_facts - name: Add volume for cassandra nodes action: module: ec2_vol instance: "{{ ansible_ec2_instance_id }}" volume_size: 50 volume_type: gp2 region: us-east-1 device_name: /dev/xvdb aws_access_key: "{{ aws_access_key }}" aws_secret_key: "{{ aws_secret_key }}" On Thursday, July 21, 2016 at 1:23:36 PM UTC-6, Joanna Delaporte wrote: > > Hi Max, > > Are you running this playbook with the ec2 instance as the remote target? > > You are missing the reference to the registered fact, I think: > > - name: gather ec2 facts > action: ec2_facts > register: ec2_facts > > - debug: var=ec2_facts > > - name: Add volume for cassandra nodes > local_action: > module: ec2_vol > instance: "{{ *ec2_facts.*ansible_ec2_instance_id }}" > volume_size: 50 > volume_type: gp2 > region: us-east-1 > device_name: /dev/xvdb > > I haven't used the ec2_facts module yet myself, however, since I usually > provision and register facts from the ec2 module, so I might be wrong. > > Joanna > > On Thursday, July 21, 2016 at 11:50:26 AM UTC-5, Max León wrote: >> >> Hi, >> I'm trying to create a playbook that will attach a volume to the >> specified instances and install casssandra as a cluster. >> >> I have almost everything worked out but the ec2_vol part. >> >> # tasks file for cassandra >> - name: gather ec2 facts >> action: ec2_facts >> register: ec2_facts >> >> - debug: var=ec2_facts >> >> - name: Add volume for cassandra nodes >> local_action: >> module: ec2_vol >> instance: "{{ ansible_ec2_instance_id }}" >> volume_size: 50 >> volume_type: gp2 >> region: us-east-1 >> device_name: /dev/xvdb >> >> With that in mind I can see the ec2_facts of the tagged instances that >> I'm going to use in the cluster but when executed it doesn't recognized the >> ansible_ec2_instance_id variable that I can actually see when running the >> ec2_facts. >> >> Any idea why? >> >> >> Thank you. >> > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
