reboot issues

[Rene Paquin]

I am testing a playbook to deploy updates then force a reboot on an Oracle Linux ver 8.3  The DNF updates run fine but when the system reboots it hangs.  The server is a vm running in a vmware 6.7 environment.  In order to bring the system back up I have to reset the vm from vcenter.  Not sure how to troubleshoot this.  The playbook is as follows: 

 

---

- name: Upgrade all packages

  hosts: all

  vars_files:

     - group_vars/ol8

 

  tasks:

  - name: dnf updates

    dnf:

      name: '*'

      state: latest

 

  - name: Reboot after updates are applied

    reboot:

 

 

...

 

Thanks,

Further to this…

 

I separated the tasks into two playbooks.  I run the update playbook and when complete I then run the reboot playbook.  The system still hangs.  After I reset the VM and it is back online I run the reboot playbook and it works fine.  So I assume there is something that needs to be done after the updates are completed?  Not sure.

 

Thanks,

Hi René!

Take a look at this, use the system to tell you is reboot is required and then reboot. The system will tell you when this is needed, some times grub need run to update links to kernel

Maybe you can show the errors to see more about this failed reboot

Best regards.

Thanks for the response but it turns out that it was an OS issue and not an ansible issue.
