Provisioning-LVM-Filesystems:<\/strong><\/p>\n

This role is designed to use ansible-merge-vars module. An Ansible plugin to merge all variables in context with a certain suffix (lists or dicts only) and create a new variable that contains the result of this merge. This is an Ansible action plugin, which is basically an Ansible module that runs on the machine running Ansible rather than on the host that Ansible is provisioning.<\/p>\n

\u2022<\/span> <\/span>Creates Logical Volume assigned to Volume Group<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2022<\/span> <\/span>Creates the size of the disk to full or whatever you wish to set<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2022<\/span> <\/span>It will format the LVM to whatever file format you wish<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2022<\/span> <\/span>It will then create the mount point and mount the lvm<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2022<\/span> <\/span>It will also add the lvm to fstab upon mounting <\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Note: This post assumes you have already ansible installed and running.<\/p>\n

Install ansible-merge-vars module:<\/p>\n

1.       root@KVM-test-<\/em><\/span>box<\/em><\/span>:~<\/em><\/span>#<\/em> pip install <\/strong><\/span>ansible_merge_vars
\n<\/span>          Requirement already satisfied: <\/span>ansible_merge_vars<\/span> in
\n<\/span>          \/<\/span>usr<\/span>\/local\/lib\/python3.8\/<\/span>dist<\/span>-packages (5.0.0)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\n
2.<\/span>Create an action_plugins<\/span> directory in the directory in which you run Ansible.<\/div>\n

By default, Ansible will look for action plugins in an action_plugins<\/span> folder adjacent to the running playbook. For more information on this, or to change the location where ansible looks for action plugin.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
3.<\/span>Create a file called merge_vars.py<\/span> (or whatever name you picked) in the action_plugins<\/span> directory, with one line:<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u2003\u2003from ansible_merge_vars import ActionModule<\/em><\/p>\n

.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n
4.<\/span>Save the file<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Role Setup:<\/span><\/p>\n

Once the plugin has been setup, you <\/span>now<\/span> you will want to setup a role.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n
1.<\/span>Move inside the ansible\/roles directory<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
a.<\/span>cd ansible\/roles\/<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
2.<\/span>Create a directory for the role provision-fs<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
b.<\/span>mkdir<\/span> -p provision-fs\/tasks<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
3.<\/span>Move inside the <\/span>tasks<\/span> directory<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
c.<\/span>cd ansible\/roles\/provision-fs\/tasks<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Now we will create a task that will merge variable names associated with a list and then itemise the list for variables we will pass to provision the filesystem via the <\/span>inventory\/<\/span>host_var<\/span> or <\/span>group_var<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n
4.<\/span>Create a file called <\/span>main.yml<\/span> inside provision-fs\/tasks\/<\/span>main.yml<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
