how to get the ansible virt module to wait for a machine to finish shutting down

[Rob Verduijn]

Hello,

When shutting down a kvm guest using the task
- name: shut down kvm guest
  virt: name=kvm-guest state=shutdown

Ansible will continue when the virsh shutdown kvm-guest command is finished.

However I want it to wait for the guest to actually finnish the shutdown procedure.

Anybody who knows how to do this ?

Were you able to figure this out? Or any suggestions??

You can use a do until loop
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/playbooks_loops.html#do-until-loops

- action: virt name=kvm-guest command=status
register: result
until: result.status.find("shutdown") != -1
retries: 30
delay: 5

Hi,

Here's a snippet that I use:

- name: wait for the vm to shut down
virt:
command: status
name: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
register: vmstatus
until: vmstatus.status == 'shutdown'
delegate_to: "{{ vmhost }}"
retries: 1500
delay: 10

vmhost = the hypervisor on which the VM runs.

HTH,
Patrick
