Jennifer, I was unable to get the host module w/initiator and alias list to work; it continued to show initiator alias invalid. I was able to get the aliases to be applied by using the initiator module w/new_aliases after the masking view was created: tasks:- name: Create Storage Group and volumes for "{ { sg_name }}"  dellemc.powermax.storagegroup:  <<: *uni_connection_vars    sg_name: "{ { sg_name }}"    service_level: "Diamond"    volumes: "{ { volume_list }}"    vol_state: "present-in-group"    state: 'present'   - name: Create Initiator Group "{ { ig_name }}"    dellemc.powermax.host:    <<: *uni_connection_vars    host_name: "{ { ig_name }}"    initiators: "{ { item.initiator_id }}"    state: 'present'    initiator_state: 'present-in-host'  loop: "{ { initiator_info }}"   - name: Create Port Group "{ { pg_name }}"    dellemc.powermax.portgroup:    <<: *uni_connection_vars    portgroup_name: "{ { pg_name }}"    state: "present"    ports: "{ { port_list }}"    port_state: 'present-in-group'   - name: Create Masking View "{ { mv_name }}" with "{ { sg_name }}", "{ { ig_name }}", and "{ { pg_name }}"    dellemc.powermax.maskingview:    <<: *uni_connection_vars    mv_name: "{ { mv_name }}"    portgroup_name: "{ { pg_name }}"    host_name: "{ { ig_name }}"    sg_name: "{ { sg_name }}"    state: 'present' - name: Set initiator aliases for "{ { ig_name }}"dellemc.powermax.initiator:  <<: *uni_connection_vars  initiator_id: "{ { item.initiator_id }}"  new_alias:    new_node_name: "{ { host_name }}"    new_port_name: "{ { item.new_port_name }}"  state: 'present'loop: "{ { initiator_info }}"
Hello - I am having difficulty assigning initiator aliases using the host module.  The host initiators list for the host module fails to accept initiator aliases.  I have tried all combinations of quotes, double quotes, not quotes, escape the slash, spaces between the hostname, slash and port name.  It indicates the initiator alias is invalid. playbook task: - name: Create Initiator Group "{ { ig_name }}"dellemc.powermax.host:<<: *uni_connection_varshost_name: "{ { host_name }}"initiators: "{ { host_initiators }}"state: 'present'initiator_state: 'present-in-host' vars_files host_initiator list: host_initiators:- 10000000cabffaee- 'ANSIBLE/FAEE'# - 10000000cccffaef# - 'ANSIBLE/FAEF' play output: TASK [Create Initiator Group "ANSIBLE_IG"] *********************************************************************************task path: /opt/ansible/dellemc/vmax_pmax/etc_dc/poc/poc_ans_playbook/host_provision_jtw.yml:40fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Initiator alias ANSIBLE/FAEE is invalid"} PLAY RECAP *****************************************************************************************************************localhost : ok=1 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=1 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0   Thank you!
