http://none... when using arubanetworks.aos_switch against REST

    Posted Jun 21, 2021 11:25 AM
    I have a container running AWX into which I have installed the aos_switch collection, also I have a [git project]/collections/requirements.yml
    telling ansible that arubanetworks.aos_switch is needed.

    When I run SSH command (network_cli arubaoss_command) it works fine against my lab Aruba switch. Whenever I try to run REST though, I get that it want to run against: http://None:80/rest/v6.0/login-sessions which obviously give me a "Request failed: <urlopen error [Errno -2] Name or service not known>".

    In the project folder root I have an ansible.cfg-file which contains
    [defaults]
    ANSIBLE_NETWORK_GROUP_MODULES=arubaoss

    (I also tried to put this into /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg, I see it want to run this cfg for some reason when I increase the verbosity. Same result though)

    Since it works against the switch using SSH I assume my host config is correct. I have put this in the variables section for the host
    ansible_host: 10.0.0.100
    ansible_connection: local
    ansible_network_os: arubanetworks.aos_switch.arubaoss

    In the playbook I have this
    ansible_network_osarubaoss
    and specified the collection
    arubanetworks.aos_switch

    Anyone have any tips on things I can try, as I've tried all the solutions I can find googling this issue? Obviously I'm missing something, but I can't figure out what.

    Oh, and I should mention that I've tried to manually connect to the REST interface and that works fine.

    The hints I get from people who solved this, most of them seem to have been missing ANSIBLE_NETWORK_GROUP_MODULES=arubaoss, but since I specified this in the ansible.cfg-file that ansible tells me it wants to use it seems to me that this should not be the issue for me.

    Strange

    What ansible release ?

    do you have check your file (and indent ?)

    ------------------------------
    PowerArubaSW : Powershell Module to use Aruba Switch API for Vlan, VlanPorts, LACP, LLDP...

    PowerArubaCP: Powershell Module to use ClearPass API (create NAD, Guest...)

    PowerArubaCL: Powershell Module to use Aruba Central

    PowerArubaCX: Powershell Module to use ArubaCX API (get interface/vlan/ports info)..

    ACEP / ACMX #107 / ACDX #1281

    I can paste the code. It's just a lab as far as it's not working, so no secrets. :)

    This is the super simple playbook:

    - name: Create VLAN 1000
      hosts: Aruba
      gather_facts: no
      collections:
        - arubanetworks.aos_switch
    
      vars:
        ansible_network_os: arubaoss
    
      tasks:
        - name: Create VLAN 1000
          arubaoss_vlan:
            vlan_id: 1000
            name: "test_vlan"
            config: "create"
            command: config_vlan​


    I used this code not using AWX, just strait up ansible; and that works. Granted, that was from another machine. It's when I use AWX it doesn't want to play ball.

    I'm using AWX 17.0.1
    ansible version 2.9.17

    I am new to both AWX and Ansible, so it's quite possible I made silly mistakes here. :) I think the indent is correct though.

    Hi Joakim!

    I believe the issue is you're not specifying the network os properly for the collection : `ansible_connection: arubanetworks.aos_switch.arubaoss`

    Hi Tiffany,
    I've put "ansible_network_os: arubanetworks.aos_switch.arubaoss" as a variable on the AWX group "Aruba" where I have my aruba switches. And ansible_connection: local. I changed "local" to "arubanetworks.aos_switch.arubaoss" as your suggestion, but same result.

    Apologies I was wrong before - you were correct in the original `ansible_connection: local` value.

    The issue is with your ansible.cfg file - it should look like the following:
    [defaults]
    NETWORK_GROUP_MODULES=arubaoss


    Please make the change and see if that fixes the issue

    I thought NETWORK_GROUP_MODULES was deprecated and replaced by ANSIBLE_NETWORK_GROUP_MODULES. I tried NETWORK_GROUP_MODULES but no difference. I put ansible.cfg in the same folder as the playbook. Can it be that it don't read it for some reason....(?)

    Maybe it is not an ANSIBLE issue at all. I had some working ANSIBLE playbooks using REST and SSH-CLI, then there were updates on my linux system last week and I get the same issue like you. Maybe it is a dependent library which is used.

    I saved my playbooks, rolled back the system to a snapshot a month ago, restored the playbooks and it is working again. Now I will update package by package and test my scripts between each update to find the one that is breaking the REST api calls.

    Ok, seems my revert of ANSIBLE version was not successful before. But now with the working snapshot and installing update package by package, I can say:

    It is a ANSIBLE version problem. With 2.9.6 REST works, with 2.9.21 I get the same error like you. Maybe the switch to another ANSIBLE version will solve your issue. ATM I locked ANSIBLE updates.

    I am going on vacation today and I will probably not have time to play with ansible/AWX today, but I will try this as soon as I'm back from vacation.
    Thanks!

    Tried to downgrade to 2.9.6 since it worked for you, but not for me. Then I upgraded to 2.9.23. Same result. Feels like I input some of the info at the wrong place in AWX.
    I also changed my ansible.cfg placed in my repo, and that broke the whole thing, so it couldn't find the collection. In this case that's a good thing, because it suggests that it actually is reading that config though.

    I've fixed the urgent problem using arubaoss_config instead. Because it uses SSH it works. But I still want to be able to use the REST-using modules, so the question remains why it doesn't work. I've run the arubaoss_vlan playbook using ansible-playbook command from the container instance where I have the AWX and it works. It's only when I try to use it with AWX it gives me this error.
