Noticed that there is no issue with module
the problem is
/ifs/cluster_name/DEV ---- accepted path name
/ifs/clustername/DEV ---- accepted path name
/ifs/cluster-name/DEV ---- not accepted path , it breakes on '-'

/ifs/cluster name/DEV ---- not accepted path , it breakes on ' '


when we try to escape the character it created with that name.
like
/ifs/'cluster-name'/DEV ---- created with wrong name , while escaping
/ifs/'cluster-name'/DEV ---- created with wrong name , while escaping
/ifs/\'cluster-name\'/DEV ---- created with wrong name , while escaping

is it a way to create a Directory by space or '-' b/w words ??

Hi @Javed Khan Siddque 

I tried to execute the playbook with space and - (/ifs/cluster name/DEV and /ifs/cluster-name/DEV) and the creation was successful using filesystem module.

Could you please share the log output after executing the playbook with space or - in the directory path to view the errors by executing

tail -10 ansible_powerscale.log from the same folder where the playbook is?

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hi @Javed Khan Siddque 

Does the filesystem creation succeed with sudo account?

This looks to be permission related issue, Could you try to assign privileges ISI_PRIV_IFS_RESTORE and ISI_PRIV_NS_TRAVERSE to the user to enable the creation of filesystem?

Please do let me know of any additional queries.

Thanks,

Jennifer
