All, I need some help writing the following task. 1. Need to find all devices on a RHEL system, but only if they don't match sr0 2. For each of those devices found, run a number of tasks against them
Thought this would be a simple matter of accessing items in a dict or list, using *when:* to match the devices I'm looking for, but I'm thoroughly lost. Here is an example of the facts I'm looking for (I removed a lot of the elements for readability, denoted by the <...> ) "ansible_devices": { "sr0": { "holders": [], "host": "", <...> }, "vda": { "holders": [], "host": "", <...> }, <...> Now, here is what I want to do to each device I find that doesn't match sr0. I'm struggling in figuring out how to set new_dev - name: Label new disk command: parted -s -a optimal "{{ new_dev }}" mklabel gpt I've tried the following to test loops and conditionals: - name: print devices debug: msg="Device name is "{{ item.key }}"" with_dict: "{{ ansible_devices }}" Which works, but when I add any number of attempts to apply conditionals, I have failure. Here is some of what I've tried, with the differences highlighted. - name: print devices debug: msg="Device name is "{{ item.key }}"" with_dict: "{{ ansible_devices }}" * when: ansible_devices.key == "vdb"* *-------------------------------------------------------------------------------* - name: print devices debug: msg="Device name is "{{ item.key }}"" with_dict: "{{ ansible_devices }}" when: ansible_devices*['key'] *== "vdb" *------------------------------------------------------------------------------* - name: print devices debug: msg="Device name is "{{ item.key }}"" with_dict: "{{ ansible_devices }}" when: ansible_devices* | search('vdb')* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
