Ansible role for managing IPMI LAN settings with ipmitool

ansible_ipmi_lan_manage

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

This role needs to run as root to use ipmitool, so include it in your playbook with:

roles:
  - { role: ansible_ipmi_lan_manage, sudo: yes }

or simply use --sudo with your ansible-playbook command.

Variables:

get_ipmi: True  # Default: False

Query the current IPMI settings for each host and attempt to save them to host_vars/{{inventory_hostname_short}}/ipmi unless you already have ipmi: defined somewhere.

set_ipmi: True  # Default: False

By default this role will only report on differences. Use -e "set_ipmi=True" to "arm" ipmi and run the ipmi lan set commands if necessary.
