Exercise 2.2, running the answer yml template but got errors

[gavinw2006]

https://github.com/f5alliances/ansible-use-cases-101/blob/master/2.2-error-handling/bigip-error-handling.yml

[gavinw2006]

copy/paste the yml file from the lab manual, got the "automap1" doesn't exist error, change it to "automap", no errors, but seems it doesn't use pool variable : {{pool_name}}, instead use the real pool name: http_pool, not sure it is working and right template for other pool.

[payalsin]

@gavinw2006 - the intent is to show rollback so Automap1 is intentional. The rollback must have failed because the nodes might be used by another pool, can you run the playbook at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/f5alliances/ansible-use-cases-101/master/2.2-error-handling/bigip-error-handling.yml in verbose mode

ansible-playbook bigip-error-handling.yml -vvvv

If you change it to Automap it will not go into the rollback code.

[gavinw2006]

right, understood. cheers for the comments Payal!

[gavinw2006]

@payalsin , it works as expected.
