• tasks/scale_update.yml -- Check if any running node needs to be updated

  regression: assert msg no longer accepts list #48547 Another option to configure this is to add stdout_callback = debug to your ansible.cfg
  

• tasks/scale_cluster.yml -- Create new cluster

When using the ansible-scale-gui role I accidentally set wrong repository urls for scale_install_repository_url and scale_install_zimon_repository_url which made ansible fail mid through applying the role. Changing the repository urls after the fact didn't work and I had to manually remove the bad repo files under /etc/yum.repos.d/ before reapplying the role with the correct url's set. You probably need to use the ini module to update an existing repo file.

While this was found while using the ansible-scale-gui role the same problem should arise here as well, so posting it here.

As a sidenote this is what I ended up setting:

scale_install_repository_url: >-
  file:///usr/lpp/mmfs/{{ scale_version }}/gpfs_rpms/

scale_install_zimon_repository_url: >-
  file:///usr/lpp/mmfs/{{ scale_version }}/zimon_rpms/rhel7/

Future improvement is to have a toggle for SSH Key Exchange between nodes, this is for customers that have this already in place. "prepare | Read public SSH key" " prepare | Authorize all SSH keys"

When performing a localpkg install you could probably simplify the installation logic a bit by setting scale_install_repository_url to a file:-url since yum can handle that and since the installation script contains a repodata directory.

Something like this:

scale_install_repository_url: file:///usr/lpp/mmfs/{{ scale_version }}/gpfs_rpms/

I tried this for the ansible-scale-gui role and that worked fine. :)
