Resolved The issue encountered was due to the way in which the modules communicate to Isilon API. One of the two options are required to ensure Isilon Ansible playbook connectivity:   Edit the playbook with "connection: local", see example: - name: Collect set of facts in Isilon  hosts: isilon822dc1  connection: local Add new Isilon host "isilon822dc1_local" with the variable "ansible_connection=local" in ansible host file or hostvars. Use the following in playbook: - name: Collect set of facts in Isilon  hosts: isilon822dc1_local
Hi I am helping a colleague test the Isilon ansible module however I am running into the following issue: Ansible modules for Isilon require the Isilon python library to be installed. Please install the library before using these modules. The Isilon SDK is installed (see below) Please can you help determine the issue? ==================================================== root[NAME] playbooks]# pip3 install isi-sdk-8-1-1WARNING: Running pip install with root privileges is generally not a good idea.
