Error when running bigip_command Playbook against LTM : Syntax Error: unexpected argument /bin/sh\n
I am running a Playbook to test bigip_command using ansible [core 2.15.3] against LTM running 15.1.6.1. When I run the playbook I get the following message: UNREACHABLE! => { “changed”: false, “msg”: “Failed to create temporary directory. In some cases, you may have been able to authenticate and did not have permissions on the target directory. Consider changing the remote tmp path in ansible.cfg to a path rooted in "/tmp", for more error information use -vvv. Failed command was: ( umask 77 && mkdir -p "echo $HOME/tmp"&& mkdir "echo $HOME/tmp/ansible-tmp-1709037153.0021555-3167181-73985055078518" && echo ansible-tmp-1709037153.0021555-3167181-73985055078518="echo $HOME/tmp/ansible-tmp-1709037153.0021555-3167181-73985055078518" ), exited with result 1”, “unreachable”: true } When I run the Playbook with -vvv flags I see the following line just before the error message pasted above: Failed to connect to the host via ssh: Syntax Error: unexpected argument “/bin/sh” Similarly, if I test the ssh I also see this same unexpected argument message: ansible all -m shell -a id -vvv Syntax Error: unexpected argument “/bin/sh”\n’ I have tried editing various things in hosts file and ansible.cfg but nothing I have tried seems to have made a difference. Is anyone familiar with this and what is needed to resolve this. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Ansible very slow
I’m trying to make e playbook to create pools and virtual servers but it take a while, below an example, any solution? --- - name: Create local traffic objects on a BIG-IP hosts: F5 gather_facts: False connection: local vars: provider: password: "{{ ansible_password }}" server: "{{ ansible_host }}" user: "{{ ansible_user }}" validate_certs: False pools: - ["POOL_1", "INTERNET", "MEM_1"] - ["POOL_2", "INTERNET", "MEM_2"] - ["POOL_3", "WAN", "MEM_3"] tasks: - name: Create pools bigip_pool: state: present name: "{{ item[0] }}" partition: "{{ item[1] }}" provider: "{{ provider }}" #delegate_to: localhost loop: "{{ pools }}" - name: Add pool members bigip_pool_member: name: "{{ item[0] }}" partition: "{{ item[1] }}" host: "{{ item[2] }}" port: "80" provider: "{{ provider }}" reuse_nodes: false delegate_to: localhost loop: "{{ pools }}"User-Role for Ansible
Hello, we want to start Ansible-Integration for our BIG IP, main reason: automate Certs with LetsEncrypt. How do you handle the user/password? we're a little bit concerned about save username/password in ansible. another question: what User-Role would be needed for Certs and SSL Profiles?

Connecting to F5 using SSH via Ansible
I am in the process of writing a playbook which uses SSH to connect to F5 and run a bash command (ntpdate -d time_server) to confirm NTP connectivity across the environment. For SSH I am using root. Here is the task that I have in the playbook. - name: "Check NTP on {{override_host}}" vars: ansible_connection: ssh ansible_user: "root" ansible_password: "{{root_pwd}}" ansible_ssh_private_key_file: "~/.ssh/f5-ansible-ssh" command: cmd: ntpdate -d {{item}} loop: "{{new_ntp_servers}}" register: ntp_status The error message that I get is as follows MSG: The module failed to execute correctly, you probably need to set the interpreter.

Extract content of Certificate key file with REST or Ansible
Hi Community, I'm working on an automation for renewing Certificates on multiple BIG-IP's using Ansible. As not all available Ansible F5 modules provide what is required, I'm currently using a mix of modules and REST calls (which is call from Ansible). F5 Module Index What works so far is: Create new CSR/Key on BIG-IP Get new "CA based" Cert and upload to the BIG-IP Upload the same Cert to other BIG-IP's Update SSL profiles on multiple BIG-IP's and some others tasks, like irules..etc Anyhow, what doesnt work so far is to get the content of the key which was created on the first device together with the CSR. Basically I dont have the key which needs to be uploaded to the other BIG-IP's as well. From the CLI, the following gives me what I need: cat/config/filestore/files_d/Common_d/certificate_key_d/*name.key* The problem with this is, I cant integrate it in Ansible using the bigip_command – Run TMSH and BASH commands on F5 devices module. Looks like only tmsh commands are supported even though it states BASH as well. Plus I try to avoid using this module whenever possible in a first place. Through the GUI, simple export and import on an other device - done, but obviously not automated. I have tried all possible Ansible modules as well as REST calls, but dont get the content out of the .key file. I thought that this would/should be a simple tasks. If anyone's done this using any approach please share. I could create a new key and get a cert for each device, but first try to find out if there's another way. Thanks in advance, StefanSNAT Error While Using Ansible to Create a VS in BigIP
I am trying to create a VS using Ansible playbook. It is able to create the virtual server but not able to set SNAT setting that i wanted (Automap), getting the following error fatal: [xxx.com]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "received exception: Error on setting snat : Method not found: 'LocalLB.VirtualServer.LocalLB.VirtualServerPort.get_source_address_translation_type'"} Version details: Ansible: 2.3.0.0 python: 2.7.5 BigIP: 11.12.1 this is how my playbook looks name: Create virtual server bigip_virtual_server: server: xxx.com user: admin password: MYPASS state: present name: VS_NAME destination: DEST_IP port: 80 pool: POOL_NAME all_profiles: - tcp - http snat: Automap validate_certs: no Any support on this would be really appreciated. Thanks!
Pool is changed when Ansible playbook is played again
When I add a Pool in my BIG-IP by the mean of Ansible module big_ip, the pool is correctly defined. Fine! But when I play the task again, the pool is signaled as changed (in the Ansible stdout PLAY RECAP ). It shoudn't because nothing was changed. This occurs only when I define the monitor option for the pool in the task: monitor_type: and_list monitors: http Whan I don't define a monitor option then I can play the taks again and the pool in seen as unchanged, as expected. Is it a normal behavior? What could I do to avoid it? I need to see only the real changes in the PLAY RECAP because some handlers are triggered by changes. Thank you for your help 🙂
