Role Variables

You can find a list of default variables for this role in defaults/main.yml.

Usage

Here’s an example playbook:

---

- hosts: all
  roles:
    - role: amtega.netbackup
      vars:
        netbackup_state: present

        netbackup_server: myserver.acme.com
        netbackup_media_servers:
          - mymediaserver1.acme.com
          - mymediaserver2.acme.com

        netbackup_certificate_fingerprint: >-
          xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

        netbackup_authorization_token: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Testing

Tests use Molecule with Docker containers.

The tests do not install the NetBackup packages to prevent registering the test servers. To run the tests, provide the variables found in defaults/main.yml. You can do this by calling the test playbook and passing an extra inventory using these environment variables:

• ANSIBLE_INVENTORY: Path to an inventory file
• ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE: Path to the file with the vault password needed for the inventory

cd amtega.netbackup

ANSIBLE_INVENTORY=~/myinventory ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE=~/myvaultpassword molecule test --all
