Developer

Hello all! It is with great pleasure that I'm able to announce the publishing of the pyafc Python SDK and the HPEANFC Ansible Collection! You can find detailed guides on how to get started with these packages on our HPE Aruba Networking Developer Hub:

Getting Started with Pyafc

Getting Started with Ansible and HPEANFC

To install these packages run the following commands:

pip install pyafc
ansible-galaxy collection install arubanetworks.afc

Happy Automating!

Great news ! i will test soon !

pip install pyafc
ansible-galaxy collection install arubanetworks.afc

I'm having fun with the new Ansible collection!

I wonder there is a way to get some debug info. I strugle with creating NTP assigned to a fabric. The task fails, but the NTP config is created. So some debugging may help figure out why it states to be failed.
Next time I run the play it's green and listed as created. 

When the task fails my role stops, so it would be cool to figure out why I get an error.

Test playbook:

---
- name: Playbook test NTP
  hosts: platform_aoscx
  gather_facts: false
  tasks:
    - name: Configure NTP
      arubanetworks.afc.afc_ntp:
        afc_ip: "{{ config_context.afc_host }}"
        afc_username: "{{ afc_username }}"
        afc_password: "{{ afc_password }}"
        operation: 'create'
        data:
          name: "{{ config_context.afc_fabric }}-NTP"
          fabrics:
            - "{{ config_context.afc_fabric }}"
          servers:
            - server: "{{ config_context.ntp_servers.0.server }}"
    #          burst_mode: "iburst"
    #          perfer: true
      delegate_to: localhost

running: ansible-playbook -l z16-leaf-1 test_ntp.yml -vvvv
