The parameter "unity_updates" seems to be wrong. Make sure the parenthesis,
quotation and other items are correct. Try to create the list (if
"unity_updates" is really a list) of dictionaries first and take a look at
the debug whether this is what you want. For example, or rather as a
demonstration of the proposal (I have no idea of the module's details)

- set_fact:
unity_updates: "{{ unity_updates|default([]) +
[{resource_type: storageResource,

fields: 'name:{{ lun_name }},
lunParameters: {pool: {id: "{{ pool_id }}"}},
size: "{{ lun_size }}",
isThinEnabled:"true",
isDataReductionEnabled:"false"}',

action: 'createLun'}] }}"
- debug:
var: unity_updates

HI Team

I am having a tough time on changing the mgmt ip address via URI module and even properly having login info, logout and updating headers.

Still I get "HTTP Error 401"

The URL which I update is via POST

"https://<unity_ip>/api/instances/mgmtInterfaces/mgmt_ipv4/action/modify"

request your thoughts

thanks
