.It is now possible to use Ansible playbooks without copying them to the root `ceph-ansible` directory
Due to the missing `library` variable in the Ansible configuration, the custom Ansible modules were not detected when executed playbooks were present in the `infrastructure-playbooks` directory. Consequently, it was not possible to run the infrastructure playbooks without copying them into the root `ceph-ansible` directory. This update adds the `library` variable to the Ansible configuration. As a result, it is possible to use playbooks in the `infrastructure-playbooks` without copying them, for example:
----
# ansible-playbook infrastructure-playbooks/purge-cluster.yml -i inventory_file
----
Description of problem:
With the default installation of ceph-ansible users are unable to purger cluster due to the following error:
Using /usr/share/ceph-ansible/ansible.cfg as config file
ERROR! no action detected in task. This often indicates a misspelled module name, or incorrect module path.
The error appears to have been in '/usr/share/ceph-ansible/infrastructure-playbooks/purge-docker-cluster.yml': line 457, column 11, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.
The offending line appears to be:
block:
- name: zap and destroy osds created by ceph-volume with lvm_volumes
^ here
~
If the purge-cluster.yml is copied to the /usr/share/ceph-ansible this error is resolved. the issue with coping this file into the base ceph-ansible directory is that it's dangerous, because a ceph-ansible RPM upgrade will not upgrade these copies (unless we can use softlinks) which causes incompatibility issues.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHCS 3.2 GA
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install using ceph-ansible
2. cd /usr/share/ceph-ansible
3. ansible-playbook infrastructure-playbooks/purge-cluster.yml -i inventory_file
Actual results:
Expected results:
it should be unnecessary to copy purge-cluster.yml or purge-docker-cluster.yml from infrastructure-playbooks to /usr/share/ceph-ansible
