Isilon Python SDK missing
Hi
I am helping a colleague test the Isilon ansible module however I am running into the following issue:
Ansible modules for Isilon require the Isilon python library to be installed. Please install the library before using these modules.
The Isilon SDK is installed (see below)
Please can you help determine the issue?
====================================================
root@centOS_7 playbooks]# pip3 install isi-sdk-8-1-1

Hey Evan,
Is the Ansible instance running with a Python virtual environment (venv)? Did you double check the SDK installation location to see if the files are actually there and readable?
Another idea is to use the -vvv flag to get a lot more debug information from Ansible.
Good luck

Also that error is a result of flag being set during an attempted SDK import in the dellemc_ansible_isilon_utils.py
try:
import isi_sdk_8_1_1 as isi_sdk
from isi_sdk_8_1_1.rest import ApiExceptionHAS_ISILON_SDK = True
You could try doing those imports with just a regular python file and see if there is any more information sent back.

Thank-you for all your feedback
It works perfectly on CentOS 8.I noticed the isi-sdk-8-1-1 packages are installed in different locations
CENTOS7 - /usr/lib/pythonX.X/site-packages/
CENTOS8 - /usr/local/lib/pythonX.X/site-packages/
Moving the packages to the /usr/local path did not solve the issue on CentOS7. This seems like a bug...
Has anyone else experienced a similar problem with CentOS7 and the Isilon Python SDK?
Regards,
Evan

Resolved
The issue encountered was due to the way in which the modules communicate to Isilon API. One of the two options are required to ensure Isilon Ansible playbook connectivity:
Edit the playbook with "connection: local", see example:
- name: Collect set of facts in Isilon
hosts: isilon822dc1
connection: local
Add new Isilon host "isilon822dc1_local" with the variable "ansible_connection=local" in ansible host file or hostvars. Use the following in playbook:
- name: Collect set of facts in Isilon
hosts: isilon822dc1_local
