Oh gosh, I finally did it. Appreciate your help Bryan, but it looks like the galaxy is against me. The product guide recommendations ended up working for me.  It took a bit longer than I expected. The original error was related to insufficient privileges for the command 'ansible-playbook /home/playbooks/flo_test.yml'  Applying the same command with 'sudo' solves it (not sure if it safe to run this command with sudo though) But after that I faced with another issue that looked like: TASK [Get nodes of the Isilon cluster] *********************************************************************************fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "********nsible modules for Isilon require the Isilon python library to be installed. Please install the library before using these modules."} And that was related to the fact that I installed isi-sdk-8-1-1 for only the current user. I solved it with uninstalling and installing it back with 'sudo':  sudo pip install isi-sdk-8-1-1 (again there might be a better way to do it, but I was too exhausted to look for it with the 3days freaking module installation experience). For anyone who is as dummy in Linux as myself and just want to test the module there is the full sequence of commands: sudo apt install python3-pipsudo apt updatesudo apt install software-properties-commonsudo add-apt-repository --yes --update ppa:ansible/ansiblesudo apt install ansiblesudo pip install isi-sdk-8-1-1sudo mkdir -p /home/isilonmodulessudo git clone [URL] /home/isilonmodules##to find the location where you need to create the following directories use 'ansible --version' command##morty[NAME]:~$ ansible --version##ansible 2.9.6## config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg## configured module search path = ['/home/morty/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']## ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ansible## executable location = /usr/bin/ansible## python version = 3.8.10 (default, Jun 2 2021, 10:49:15) [GCC 9.4.0]sudo mkdir /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ansible/modules/storage/dellemcsudo mkdir /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ansible/module_utils/storage/dell/sudo cp -a /home/isilonmodules/dellemc_ansible/utils/. /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ansible/module_utils/storage/dell/sudo cp -a /home/isilonmodules/dellemc_ansible/isilon/library/. /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ansible/modules/storage/dellemcsudo cp -a /home/isilonmodules/dellemc_ansible/doc_fragments/dellemc_isilon.py /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ansible/plugins/doc_fragments/sudo ansible-playbook /home/playbooks/flo_test.yml
Hey folks, I've been trying to test Dell Ansible modules against my Isilon Simulator using the following documentation: And I faced with the next error trying to run playbooks/flo_test.yml: TASK [Get nodes of the Isilon cluster] *********************************************************************************An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ansible.module_utils.storage.dell'fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "module_stderr": "Traceback (most recent call last):\n File \"/home/morty/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1626795943.048041-5372-267858379548902/AnsiballZ_dellemc_isilon_gatherfacts.py\", line 100, in \n _ansiballz_main()\n File \"/home/morty/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1626795943.048041-5372-267858379548902/AnsiballZ_dellemc_isilon_gatherfacts.py\", line 92, in _ansiballz_main\n invoke_module(zipped_mod, temp_path, ANSIBALLZ_PARAMS)\n File \"/home/morty/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1626795943.048041-5372-267858379548902/AnsiballZ_dellemc_isilon_gatherfacts.py\", line 40, in invoke_module\n runpy.run_module(mod_name='ansible.modules.dellemc_isilon_gatherfacts', init_globals=dict(_module_fqn='ansible.modules.dellemc_isilon_gatherfacts', _modlib_path=modlib_path),\n File \"/usr/lib/python3.8/runpy.py\", line 207, in run_module\n return _run_module_code(code, init_globals, run_name, mod_spec)\n File \"/usr/lib/python3.8/runpy.py\", line 97, in _run_module_code\n _run_code(code, mod_globals, init_globals,\n File \"/usr/lib/python3.8/runpy.py\", line 87, in _run_code\n exec(code, run_globals)\n File \"/tmp/ansible_dellemc_isilon_gatherfacts_payload_9uuw76x6/ansible_dellemc_isilon_gatherfacts_payload.zip/ansible/modules/dellemc_isilon_gatherfacts.py\", line 133, in \nModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ansible.module_utils.storage.dell'\n", "module_stdout": "", "msg": "MODULE FAILURE\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error", "rc": 1}  Any ideas how to troubleshoot this?
