Use Ansible on RHEL 7 to Install packages on RHEL 8 client

Latest response

Hi all

Ansible noob here... Trying to configure a new RHEL 8 VM from a RHEL 7 ansible server.

The output is:

ansible-playbook playbook-minimal.yml

PLAY [Initial build] ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

TASK [Gathering Facts] **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [benmon01]

TASK [package] ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

        to retry, use: --limit @/root/ansible/initial_build/playbook-minimal.retry

PLAY RECAP **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
benmon01                   : ok=1    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=1

The playbook is:

---
- name: Initial build
  hosts: benmon01
  tasks:
    - package:
        name: cifs-utils
        state: latest
...

The inventory is:

[all]
localhost

[RHEL8]
benmon01 ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/libexec/platform-python

Any ideas on how I can resolve this?

Thanks

CC
