Oracle 12c Install from Ansible Script

[BPradhan]

Dear All

Am trying to install Oracle Database 12.1.0.2 on a target host, using a ansible script on Ansible Master server.

On the target host 'oracle' OS user has the correct groups:

$ id oracle

uid=101(oracle) gid=204(oinstall) groups=205(dba),204(oinstall)

But the ansible script is failing with error :

     [FATAL] [INS-35341] The installation user is not a member of the following groups: [dba, dba, dba, dba]

-------------------

Here is the chunk of code used in the ansible script:

  - name: ensure oinstall group exists

    group: name=oinstall gid=204 state=present

    become: true

    become_method: su

  - name: ensure dba group exists

    group: name=dba gid=205 state=present

    become: true

    become_method: su

  - name: ensure oracle user exists with correct groups

    user: name=oracle uid=101 group=oinstall groups=dba createhome=no shell=/bin/bash

    become: true

    become_method: su

  - name: create oracle_base directory

    file:

      path: "{{ oracle_base }}"

      state: directory

      owner: oracle

      group: oinstall

      mode: 0775

  - name: install base software

    command: "{{ sw_library }}/oracle/{{ oracle_ver }}/database/runInstaller -silent -ignorePrereq -ignoreSysPrereqs -waitforcompletion -responseFile {{ sw_library }}/oracle/response_files/db_12102.rsp ORACLE_HOME={{ oracle_home }}"

    register: install_db_software

    args:

      creates: "{{ oracle_home }}"

    failed_when: "'skipped' not in install_db_software.stdout and 'Successfully Setup Software.' not in install_db_software.stdout"

--------------

And the console output from the ansible script run is:

-------------------

I wonder why the script is changing for the Tasks "ensure dba group exists" and "ensure oracle user exists with correct groups". Since the user/group settings are in place before running the script. 

I also observed that the script is changing the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files.

Any pointer will help
