PowerStore Ansible question
hi there .
I am trying to create vol using ansible playbook . But getting below msg .
TASK [Create Multiple Volumes in Async Mode] **********************************************
failed: [localhost] (item=1) => {"ansible_loop_var": "item", "changed": false, "item": 1, "msg": "Ansible modules for Powerstore require the PyPowerStore python library to be installed. Please install the library before using these modules."}
Used Yml : https://github.com/dell/ansible-powerstore/blob/main/docs/samples/create_multiple_volumes.yml
My PyPowerStore python library is....
$ pip3 list |grep PyPowerStore
DEPRECATION: The default format will switch to columns in the future. You can use --format=(legacy|columns) (or define a format=(legacy|columns) in your pip.conf under the [list] section) to disable this warning.
PyPowerStore (1.9.0.0)
Has anbody seen this message? ( tried search_volumes.yml and found same message)
BTW I am using Ansible modules for PowerStore release version 1.8.0
$ ls
dellemc dellemc.powerstore-1.8.0.info
Any info would be nice !
thanks !

Hi @ayas ,
The ansible installation is pointing to python3.9 version, could you please try to install PyPowerStore using
pip3.9 install PyPowerStore
and try again?
Thanks,
Jennifer
hi Jennifer_john
I have tried as per your advise ..
[root@auvcetillem1m1 ayasaito]# pip3.9 install
PyPowerStore
WARNING: Running pip install with root privileges is generally not a good idea. Try `pip3.9 install --user` instead.

Hi @ayas ,
From the output of ansible --version command, the configured collection path is
/root/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections
Is this where the collections are installed or the ansible_collections_path need to be set as below
export ANSIBLE_COLLECTIONS_PATHS=/home/ayasaito
Thanks,
Jennifer.
