using cs_instance

[Daan Hoogland]

LS, I am trying to use the cloudstack set of modules with ansible 2.0

host file:

[vms]

vm01

end of host file

stip.yaml:

- hosts: all

  gather_facts: no

  tasks:

  - name: stop vm

    local_action: cs_instance name="{{ inventory_hostname }}" state=stopped

end of stop.yaml

command:

$ ansible-playbook stop.yaml -i ../inventory/vms/hosts

PLAY ***************************************************************************

TASK [stop vm] *****************************************************************

fatal: [bubble05 -> localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "Template or ISO is required."}

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

bubble05                   : ok=0    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=1

✘-2 ~/leaseweb/provisioning/ansible/bubbles [mkbubble L|…13]

12:22 $ ansible-playbook stop.yaml -i ../inventory/vms/hosts

PLAY ***************************************************************************

TASK [stop vm] *****************************************************************

fatal: [vm01 -> localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "Template or ISO is required."}

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

vm01                       : ok=0    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=1

In my interpretation of the module docs at http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/cs_instance_module.html the state=stopped would not require me to add a template or iso parameter, or does it? Or maybe I am missing something else?

Hi Daan

It is true that state=stopped does not require template/iso if the VM is
present. If the VM is not yet present, it will try to create a VM which
will not boot (state=stopped), which will require a template or iso.

Is the VM present?

BTW: Did you see the detailed guide for the cloudstack modules? http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/guide_cloudstack.html
