何かエラーが出る。

$ ansible all -i ./ahv_inventory.py --list-hosts
 [ERROR]:

  hosts (3):
    vm03
    vm02
    vm01

設定の補足。下記も必要。

$ chmod +x ahv_inventory.py
$ pip install requests

下記の Python / Ansible では普通に使えた。

環境

$ python -V
Python 3.6.8
$ ansible --version
ansible 2.10.8
  config file = /home/gowatana/demo-nutanix-ansible/05_inventory/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = ['/home/gowatana/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /home/gowatana/ansible/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ansible
  executable location = /home/gowatana/ansible/bin/ansible
  python version = 3.6.8 (default, Nov  5 2020, 18:03:20) [GCC 8.3.1 20191121 (Red Hat 8.3.1-5.0.1)]

実行した様子。

$ ansible all --list-hosts
  hosts (4):
    ol83-min-01
    vm01
    test-vm-clone-01
    demo-ansible-01
$ ansible-inventory --host test-vm-clone-01
{
    "ansible_host": "192.168.11.134"
}

I am surprised to see from your output 2 things

1. Red Hat 8.3.1-5.0.1
   2)ansible 2.10.8
   How was that possible do we have 2.10 for RHEL8 ?
   Could you please help me how to update ansible2.9 to 2.10 on EL8
   Much Appreciated

Nutanix Dynamic Inventory Worked charm
Could you please help update this script so that i can only import VMs which are power-on only
i dont want to import power-off vms

Much Appreciated

The Script worked. Thank you.
Can you please help me to filter only power-on machines. How to apply the filters using ansible-playbook.
Using hosts as all is providing all the machines in nutanix environment. This is sample playbook example

---

• name: Check whether realm installed or not
  hosts: all
  become: yes
  become_user: root
  tasks:
  • name: Run the command to check realm installed or not
    shell:
    "/usr/sbin/realm list|grep -i permitted"
    register: result

Command executed is
#ansible-playbook -i nutanix_inventory.py realminstalledORnot.yml

Please help on this.

Thank you. Appreciate your help.

PowerOn / PowerOff の VM をグループ化できるようにしてみた。

$ ansible-inventory -i ./ahv_inventory.py --graph
@all:
  |--@poweroff_vms:
  |  |--dev-vm-01
  |  |--lab-oracle-01
  |  |--ol87-base-01
  |--@poweron_vms:
  |  |--demo-ansible-01
  |  |--demo-ansible-02
  |  |--lab-ndb-01
  |  |--ndb-oracle-01
  |--@ungrouped:
$ ansible -i ./ahv_inventory.py --list-hosts poweron_vms
  hosts (4):
    lab-ndb-01
    demo-ansible-02
    ndb-oracle-01
    demo-ansible-01
$ansible-inventory -i ./ahv_inventory.py --host ndb-oracle-01
{
    "ansible_host": "192.168.11.125",
    "power_state": "on"
}
$ ansible-inventory -i ./ahv_inventory.py --host dev-vm-01
{
    "ansible_host": "192.168.11.146",
    "power_state": "off"
}
