Ansible error when running for multiple hosts in inventory file

[Yehuda Pinhas]

Hi guys!

Inventory POC_ENV.yml file:

all:

  children:

    POC_ENV:

      hosts:

        TEST-NXOS2

        TEST-NXOS3

  vars:

    ansible_ssh_private_key_file: /home/ansible/.ssh/id_rsa

    ansible_ssh_common_args: -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null

    ansible_user: ansible

Playbook new_vlan_playbook.yml file:

---

  - name: ---------------   1. Applying Layer 2 Configuration   ---------------

    hosts: POC_ENV

    connection: local

    tasks:

    - include_vars:

        dir: /etc/ansible/roles/new_vlan/vars/

    - include_role:

        name: new_vlan

        tasks_from: add_vlan.yml

  - name: ---------------   3. Applying Layer 3 Configuration   ---------------

    hosts: POC_ENV

    connection: local

    tasks:

    - include_vars:

        dir: /etc/ansible/roles/new_vlan/vars/

    - include_role:

        name: new_vlan

        tasks_from: create_svi.yml

# Final result = create VLAN and SVI for predefined group

When im running my code when my inventory file mentions only one of the machines TEST-NXOS2/TEST-NXOS3 the code is working perfectly.

But when adding a second host (doesn't matter if NXOS2 or 3 is added) the code fails with this error:

Working run proof on one host:

What am I missing here?

Am I supposed to tell it to run for each line in POC_ENV.yml file or is it already supposed to know it? because from what I understand ansible is supposed to run on all hosts in parallel and not itterate one by one..

Thanks in advance,

YP

Colon ':' is missing after the hostnames. Fix the inventory

all:
children:
POC_ENV:
hosts:
TEST-NXOS2:

TEST-NXOS3:

Without the colons the lines are concatenated. This is the reason of the error

'fatal: [TEST-NXOS2 TEST-NXOS3]: FAILED! ...'

HTH,
