AnsibleUndefinedVariable: 'dict object' has not attribute u'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'"

@roczei - I'm executing playbook from local vm machine (its single node vm, CM is installed on VM), getting error - AnsibleUndefinedVariable: 'dict object' has not attribute u'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'"

TASK [scm : Wait for agent heartbeats] ***** Pausing for 30 seconds (ctrl+C then 'C' = continue early, ctrl+C then 'A' = abort) Press 'C' to continue the play or 'A' to abort ok: [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

TASK [scm : Prepare CMS template] **** fatal: [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "AnsibleUndefinedVariable: 'dict object' has no attribute u'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'"}

Please note i'm using ip address : 127.0. 0.1., please guide me how to use FQDN name in this case instead of IP address - /etc/host file look as below - 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 ::1 localhost localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6

host file look as below -

[local] 127.0.0.1

[scm_server] 127.0.0.1

[db_server] 127.0.0.1

[utility_servers:children] scm_server db_server

[krb5_server]

127.0.0.1

What's most likely happening here is the Cloudera Manager agent is registering itself with the IP address associated with its hostname and not 127.0.0.1. When you come to create a template it checks to see if the host you've specified in the inventory exists in Cloudera Manager's list of hosts and it doesn't. Try looking at the hosts in Cloudera Manager and see what's in there, it should confirm what I am saying. I would suggest assigning a hostname to your VM and adding the hostname/IP mapping to /etc/hosts rather than using a bare IP address. Remember, you can always check the contents of the hosts page in Cloudera Manager at this stage if the build fails to confirm what it thinks the current state of the hosts is, including their names and IP addresses.
