Can’t reach a server?

What’s happening here? I can reach the server over ssh, but ansible can’t? I’m testing a provisioning play. I can ssh into the box with “ssh root@box” but the command “ansible-playbook -vvv -u root -k —limit box yum.yml” says “msg”: “SSH Error:data could not be sent to remote host \”box\”. Make sure this host can be reached over ssh”.

Odd. :)

What’s happening and how to fix this?

Mike,

If you are provisioning a VM, usually you require another play to connect to the host. Can you share the playbook/role?

(Doing this on my phone is cumbersome.) :)

Hers the playbook:

[meggle1@dvlnx108 playbooks]$ cat yum.yml

# $Id$

# $Log$

# use the package manager (yum/apt-get) to update all installed packages

# :!ansible-playbook -u root -k --limit dvlnx115 --syntax-check %

# :!ansible-playbook -u root -k --limit dvlnx115 %

# :!ansible-playbook -vvv -u root -k --limit dvlnx115 %

Mike,

You should use the yum/apt modules instead of shell/command do what you are trying to do. Also what version of ansible are you using? You should also use the OS conditionals to run the tasks depending on the OS. https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_conditionals.html#commonly-used-facts https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/yum_module.html https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/apt_module.html. you can also use https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/package_module.html for generic package management. If you are using at least ansible 2.7 use the reboot https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/reboot_module.html since it auto connects back.

I first used “package” and ansible complained of a missing interpreter line. That’s why I switched to “command”.

I’m going between two CentIS boxes.

All this doesn’t explain why I can get into the box over ssh, but ansible cant get into the box.

can you go into more details about missing interpreter line? what ansible version are you using? in what part is ansible unable to connect? I'm assuming after the shutdown -r part?

Do you have the host your connecting Ansible to configured in inventory? If you just pass the host as a limit but it's not in inventory Ansible won't know what you mean, try "-i "target-host, --limit "target-host" to simulate an inventory file or use an inventory file and put the host in question inside (assuming you haven't already just a guess)

I changed the yum to an uptime. The connection issue is in the handler.

Here’s the interpreter message:

Before we go more into dept, I suggest you upgrade ansible versions to either 2.7 or 2.8. Ansible version 2.4 is EOL. It would be harder to troubleshoot this.

FWIW. Strange prefix in "—limit". This shall be double dash "--limit".

ansible-playbook -vvv -u root -k —limit box yum.yml

Curious about this:

Using module file /home/meggle1/src/ansible/playbooks/yum.retry

Can you remove/rename that file?

The "*.retry" file is a list of hosts that the playbook didn't succeed for so you can "retry" the ansible command using "--limit file.retry" to only touch those hosts that previously failed.

Here's the output after removin the "yum.retry" file:

[meggle1@dvlnx108 playbooks]$ ansible-playbook -u root -k --limit dvlnx115 yum.yml
SSH password:

PLAY [all] **************************************************************************************************************************************************

[WARNING]: Consider using the yum module rather than running 'yum'. If you need to use command because yum is insufficient you can add 'warn: false' to

PLAY RECAP **************************************************************************************************************************************************

Puzzling to me is that if ansible is using separate ssh commands, the ssh succeeds gathering facts and checking for yum, but fails on that last part.

like I mentioned before, that task is failing because it does the reboot then tries to continue working but, can't reach at all. I suggest you look at the links provided more and replace your tasks with those suggestions.

Mea cupla. You're right. Duh. Of course ansible can't reach the server because the server is booting.

I'll look at the other links.

Thanks.

You can also use the "reboot" module and Ansible will wait for the server to come back.
