Re: Want to run ansible tasks on remote host

[deepak dimri]

My ansible is deployed on localhost - from local host i am runnning the playbboks and i want run commands on host3 and then come back to host2. I tried using delegate_to: host3 but then i am getting Failed to connect to the host via ssh

Can anyone please suggest? 

Thanks,

Deepak

Below might explain what i am trying to achieve:

 - name: Playing host2
   hosts: host2
   become: yes
   tasks:
    - name: run following commands on host3
      local_action: command <command1 for host3>
      local_action: command <command2 for host3>
    - name: continue to run host2
      command: <command for host2>

Is there any substitute for local_action such that i can run the commands on host3 and not on 127.0.0.1?

Many Thanks, Deepak

In my scenario i have inventory of three machines localhost, host2 and host3. i am using localhost as ansible machine to run my playbooks. I want to run some tasks/commands on host3 while my ansible playbook is still playing on host2 without switching from host2 to host3 - is that possible?  Below might explain what i am trying to achieve:

 - name: Playing host2
   hosts: host2
   become: yes
   tasks:
    - name: run following commands on host3
      local_action: command <command1 for host3>
      local_action: command <command2 for host3>
    - name: continue to run host2
      command: <command for host2>

I tried using delegate_to: host3 but then i am getting Failed to connect to the host via ssh

 -name: Playing host2

  hosts: host2

  become:yes

  tasks:

   - name: run following commands on host3

      shell: <command1>

      shell: <command2>

      shell: <command3>

      delegate_to: host2

      remote_user: centos

You want `delegate_to: host3`, docs at http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/playbooks_delegation.html#delegation

Thanks Brian, delegate_to: <host3 hostname> did work for me
