Unable to use ansible playbook to upgrade BIGIP - VE to 15.1.6.1 from 15.1.5.1
- Oct 27, 2022
Just for anyone else who read this, the issue was a local execution
connection: local
this causes the system to SSH to itself and there is no tmsh on the ansible host. removing this line and then adding delegate_to: localhost when calling a BIG-IP module solved this issue. it allows the playbook to remote execute the code via SSH
After removing it and fixing a few code tweaks we were able to launch the code
Yes,

The script doesn't seem to run and it provides an output of value 2 which seem not valid.
Can you post your entire playbook or attach as a file so i can see the code all the way (if you want to show code banks like what i have done above, use the the ICON that looks like </> Change the language to YAML and paste your code and submit that will make it nice and aligned for me to examine 🙂
Or attach as file

Based on what i see it seems like your inventory might be incorrect (wrong iP to big-ip or wrong group or a permissions issue). the fact it says TMSH cant be found is strange, it could be incorrect IP or permissions of the user account you are using doesnt have TMSH access... are you using ADMIN account or a different account?
: tmsh: command not found\n
