IDRAC in DELL R610 with ipmi_power

[Kevin Kwon]

Hi.. 

I am trying to power management by "impi_power"

First, I had checked the "ipmitool" is working on Ansible-Controller like below.

root@ubuntu-Ansible:~#

root@ubuntu-Ansible:~# ipmitool -I lanplus -H 192.168.200.211 -U root -P password power status

Chassis Power is on

root@ubuntu-Ansible:~#

Here is my playbook.

root@ubuntu-Ansible:~# cat Host-Power_Off-01.yml

---

- name: Power Off to Host -  TEST

  hosts: DELL-R610

  tasks:

  - name: Power OFF Server

    ipmi_power:

      name: "192.168.200.211"

      user: "root"

      password: "password"

      timeout: 600

      state: "on"

when i ran it, it was failed like below.

would you please let me know what is wrong in my playbook?

root@ubuntu-Ansible:~# ansible-playbook Host-Power_Off-01.yml

PLAY [Power Off to Host -  TEST] *****************************************************************************************************************************

TASK [Gathering Facts] ***************************************************************************************************************************************

fatal: [DELL-R610]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: root@dell-r610: Permission denied (password).", "unreachable": true}

        to retry, use: --limit @/root/Host-Power_Off-01.retry

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

DELL-R610                  : ok=0    changed=0    unreachable=1    failed=0

root@ubuntu-Ansible:~#

This playbook is logging in to the host DELL-R610 to run the Ansible module ipmi_power.
But I guess you would like to run the mdoule ipmi_power on the ansible controller aka localhost?

If so you need to delegate the task to localhost with "delegate_to: localhost" or setting the "connection: local" in the play.

In this message you can see that Ansible is trying to login with root@dell-r610
