Does anyone know if iris merge can be called from Ansible. I have tried a couple of ways, but it doesn't seem to actually run the command on the target even though Ansible outputs it was successful.
Ansible Play:
- name: Install Iris
hosts: "{{ host_group }}"
serial: 1
remote_user: cotelmer
gather_facts: yes
vars:
- instance_type: "{{ inst_type }}"
roles:
- disable_new_bus_rule_editor
Ansible task:
- name: Run iris merge to disable application
ansible.builtin.shell: |
set timout 15
spawn bash -c "iris merge {{ item }}{{ hostvars[inventory_hostname].env }}{{ hostvars[inventory_hostname].failover_member_id }} /WORK/{{ item }}/deploy/cpf_merge_files/all_disable_application.mergefile /{{ item }}/{{ item }}{{ hostvars[inventory_hostname].env }}{{ hostvars[inventory_hostname].failover_member_id }}/iris.cpf"
expect "Username: "
send "hsadmin\n"
expect "Password: "
send "{{ pwd }}"
expect eof
args:
executable: /usr/bin/expect
with_items:
- "{{ instance_type }}"
register: iris_merge_output # Capture the output from the module
changed_when: iris_merge_output != 0 # <- Uses the return code to define when the task has changed.
- name: printing iris_output
ansible.builtin.debug:
var: iris_merge_output
