Ansible - Powerscale

Hi Team,

I'm trying to modify nfs export on Powerscale using Ansible modules with Non-System access zone and getting the below error.

"msg": "Create NFS export for path: /ifs/abc/xyz.org******** and access zone: XXXX failed with error: { errors : [ { code : AEC_EXCEPTION , message : '/ifs/abc/xyz.org********' failed translation to absolute path: No such file or directory } ] } "

NOTE: Ansible Playbook work fine on System Access Zone. However, error throws for Non-System Access zone

    Hi Jennifer,
    Thank you for your response.

    Below is the NFS Share provided in the input : 
    smartconnect_zone.org:/ifs/abc/xyz.org/ansible

    and we are getting the below error

    "msg": "Create NFS export for path: /ifs/abc/xyz.org******** and access zone: XXXX failed with error: { errors : [ { code : AEC_EXCEPTION , message : '/ifs/abc/xyz.org********' failed translation to absolute path: No such file or directory } ] } "

    Hi @sharath.gr 

    For non system access zone, the relative path need be specified for { {path}} as /xyz.org in the playbook instead of the absolute path.

    Thanks,

    Jennifer

    Hi @sharath.gr 

    For non system access zone, the relative path need be specified instead of the absolute path.

    Adding a sample playbook below, Here the path should be specified as /path instead of /ifs/sample-zone/path

    nfs :
          onefs_host : " { {onefs_host}} "
          api_user : " { {api_user}} "
          api_password : " { {api_password}}"
          path : " /path "
          access_zone : " sample-zone "
          state : ' present '
     
    Please do let me know of any further clarifications. 
     
    Thanks,
    Jennifer

    Hi @sharath.gr ,

    The info module can be used to list the available nfs exports in a specific access zone as in syntax below

    - name : Get list of nfs exports of the PowerScale cluster
        info :
          onefs_host : " { {onefs_host}} "
          verify_ssl : " { {verify_ssl}} "
          api_user : " { {api_user}} "
          api_password : " { {api_password}} "
          access_zone : " { {access_zone}} "
          gather_subset :
            - nfs_exports
     
    And, to list all available nfs_exports,

     

    - name : Get list of nfs exports of the PowerScale cluster
        info :
          onefs_host : " { {onefs_host}} "
          verify_ssl : " { {verify_ssl}} "
          api_user : " { {api_user}} "
          api_password : " { {api_password}}"
          include_all_access_zones: True
          gather_subset :
            - nfs_exports
     
    Please let me know if you face any additional issues.
     
    Thanks,
    Jennifer.

    Hi @sharath.gr 

    From the list of nfs_exports returned from info module, the operations can be performed using nfs_export module using the absolute path(for system access zone) or relative path (for non-system access zone).  Please refer to playbook syntax as shared above.

    Please do let me know if you face any additional issues

    Thanks,

    Jennifer
