RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

.The VDO Ansible module has been moved to Ansible packages Previously, the VDO Ansible module was provided by the `vdo` RPM package. Starting with this release, the module is provided by the `ansible` package instead. The original location of the VDO Ansible module file was: ---- /usr/share/doc/vdo/examples/ansible/vdo.py ---- The new location of the file is: ---- /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ansible/modules/system/vdo.py ---- The `vdo` package continues to distribute Ansible playbooks.

Description Dennis Keefe 2019-01-25 15:08:34 UTC 
Description of problem:
VDO Ansible module is now in Ansible RPM.  Users should use the VDO Ansible module from the Ansible RPM instead of from the VDO RPM.  The VDO Ansible module should be removed from VDO's RPM  

files to be removed:
/usr/share/doc/vdo/examples/ansible/vdo.py
/usr/share/doc/vdo/examples/ansible/vdo.pyc
/usr/share/doc/vdo/examples/ansible/vdo.pyo

The Ansible directory also has playbooks, which are useful, so these can stay in the directory as a reference.


Files to keep:
/usr/share/doc/vdo/examples/ansible/test_vdocreate.yml
/usr/share/doc/vdo/examples/ansible/test_vdocreate_alloptions.yml
/usr/share/doc/vdo/examples/ansible/test_vdoremove.yml
Comment 1 Bryan Gurney 2019-03-18 17:56:01 UTC 
The README.txt file will remain in the directory, with the following header:

----
This directory contains example playbooks for the "vdo" module in Ansible,
which can be used to create and remove VDO volumes, modify configuration
options, and start and stop VDO volumes.

The Ansible "vdo" module can be found in Ansible, version 2.5 or greater.
General information on Ansible can be found at http://docs.ansible.com/

# rpm -ql vdo | grep ansible

/usr/share/doc/vdo/examples/ansible/README.txt
/usr/share/doc/vdo/examples/ansible/test_vdocreate.yml

# cat /usr/share/doc/vdo/examples/ansible/README.txt
This directory contains example playbooks for the "vdo" module in Ansible,
which can be used to create and remove VDO volumes, modify configuration
options, and start and stop VDO volumes.

The Ansible "vdo" module can be found in Ansible, version 2.5 or greater.
General information on Ansible can be found at http://docs.ansible.com/

To run a playbook:

1. On the control system, set up a passwordless SSH session via the
   "ssh-agent bash" and "ssh-add" commands.

2. Specify the managed hosts and groups by adding them to the
   /etc/ansible/hosts file on the control system.

3. Using the "hosts" value, construct a playbook detailing the desired state
   of the VDO volume.

4. When ready, execute "ansible-playbook <playbook.yml>".  For additional
   diagnostic output, run "ansible-playbook <playbook.yml> -vvvv".


VDO rpm no longer provides any .py ansible modules, only playbooks.
