Virtual Service Migration

This Ansible playbook can be used in scenarios where virtual services need to be migrated from one service engine group to another, as long as they belong to the same Avi cloud.

Getting Started

This automation is tested using specific versions of Ansible and makes use of libraries which are needed for playbooks to execute successfully. When developing your own automation, it is highly encouraged to make use of Python's virtual environments to avoid conflicts with other version of packages which may already be installed.

git clone https://github.com/joeycoakleyavi/MD-Ansible.git
cd MD-Ansible
python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install pip --upgrade
pip install -r requirements.txt
ansible-galaxy install avinetworks.avisdk

Once the environment is prepared, edit the hosts.yml file to include the address of your controller cluster.

[all]
ctl ansible_host=<ip or fqdn of controller>

Then, edit vars.yml to suit your environment

avi_credentials:
  controller: "{{ ansible_host }}"                          <--- Do not edit
  username: admin                                           <--- Controller Username
  password:                                                 <--- Controller Password
  api_version: 20.1.4                                       <--- Your controller version
  tenant: admin                                             <--- Which tenant does the VIP belong to?
ansible_python_interpreter: "{{ ansible_playbook_python }}" <--- Do not edit

cur_seg: My-SEG-2                                           <--- Existing Service Engine Group
new_seg: Default-Group                                      <--- New Service Engine Group
cloud_name: AWS                                             <--- Cloud Name 

vsvip_migration_list:                                       <--- Add which IPs should be migrated as separate entries
  - 10.20.200.100
  - 10.20.200.194
