Passing nodenames as an argument in a command

[Parth Patel]

I am new to ansible. This is what I am trying to run,

on poc1 run,

client -a 8101 -h localhost 'fabric:ensemble-add -f poc2 poc3'

I want to run above command on "poc1" node passing arguments as "poc2" and "poc3". How do I get that using hostvars or groups from inventory file.  

I have tried this but It didn't work.

inventory file :

[testnodes]

poc1

poc2

poc3

YML,

---

 - hosts: testnodes[0]

   remote_user: test

   become: yes

   become_method: sudo

   

   tasks:

    - name: Add fabric Ensemble

      shell: ./client -a 8101 -h localhost 'fabric:ensemble-add -f {{ groups['fusehosts'][1:] }} '

      args:

        chdir: /opt/jboss-fuse-6.3.0.redhat-187/bin/

You are using fusehosts and not testnodes as you inverntory has.
You can use one of these

{{ groups.testnodes | difference([inventory_hostname]) | join(' ') }}"
{{ groups['testnodes'][1:] | join(' ') }}
