Ansible role to manage IPMI settings

Ansible role for managing IPMI LAN settings with ipmitool. Local fact script in /etc/ansible/facts.d on managed host is created and used later.

This role needs to be run as root, so use it with become: yes.

Variables

get_ipmi: True  # Default: False

Query the current IPMI settings for each host and attempt to save them to impi_host_settings_save_path unless you already have ipmi: defined somewhere.

impi_host_settings_save_path:

Path to save IMPI settings for host when get_impi is True.

set_ipmi: True  # Default: False

By default this role will only report differences between saved and actual IPMI settings. Use -e "set_ipmi=True" to "arm" ipmi and run the ipmi lan set commands if this settings differ.

Variables(usually those are host variables) used by set_impi:

• ipmi.vlan
• ipmi.address
• ipmi.netmask
• ipmi.gw

Only static IP address is supported.
