This is used to gather information, aka status, for the resource without making any changes to it. + +## Installation +Install the Infinidat Ansible collection on hosts or within containers using: +`ansible-galaxy collection install infinidat.infibox -p ~/.ansible/collections` + +Complete instructions for installing collections is available at https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/collections_using.html. + +Ansible 2.9 or newer is required to install as a collection. That said, the collection is a tarball. Modules may be extracted and installed manually if use of an older version of Ansible is required. Adjust values in playbooks/ansible.cfg as required. + +## Usage +A Makefile is provided. To see the recipes available within it use `make help`. + +Example playbooks are included in the collection: + +- Main test playbooks: + - test_create_resources.yml: A playbook that creates many resources. It also creates resources again to test idempotency. + - test_remove_resources.yml: A playbook that in the end removes the resources created in the test_create_resources playbook. It too will test idempotency by removing resources again. + +- Playbooks for testing cluster mapping: + - test_create_map_cluster.yml: Creates a cluster with hosts and tests mapping a volume to the cluster and hosts. + - test_remove_map_cluster.yml: Removes resouces created by its cohort. + +- Playbooks for testing snapshotting: + +These two playbooks serve as a reference to the use of the modules. These exercise all modules demonstrating normal usage, idempotency and error conditions. Individual module documentation is available via `ansible-doc`. + +### Example Usage +Install the collection and cd into the collection's infi/ directory. Create an ibox yaml file in ibox_vars/. Use the example yaml file as a reference. + +The `--ask-vault-pass` options below are only required if the ibox_vars/iboxNNNN.yaml file is encrypted using ansible-vault. +``` +sudo apt install python3.8 python3.8-venv python3.8-distutils libffi-dev +python3.8 -m venv venv +source venv/bin/activate +python -m pip install -U pip +python -m pip install -r requirements.txt +cd playbooks/ +../venv/bin/ansible-playbook --extra-vars "@../ibox_vars/iboxNNNN.yaml" --ask-vault-pass test_create_resources.yml +../venv/bin/ansible-playbook --extra-vars "@../ibox_vars/iboxNNNN.yaml" --ask-vault-pass test_remove_resources.yml +deactivate +``` + +## Removal +To remove the collection, delete the collection from the path specified in the -p option during installation. + +## Copyrights and Licenses +- Copyright: (c) 2020, Infinidat +- GNU General Public License v3.0+ (see COPYING or https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.txt) + +## Authors +The initial set of Infindat Ansible modules were written by Gregory Shulov in 2016. + +Infinidat's Professional Services (USA) team extended and improved the modules in 2019.
