Role Variables

A list of all the default variables for this role is available in defaults/main.yml.

Usage

This is an example playbook:

---

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

        netbackup_server: myserver.acme.com
        netbackup_media_servers:

        netbackup_authorization_token: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Testing

Tests are based on molecule with docker containers.

The tests doesn't install the netbackup packages to avoid registering into servers testing machines. To run test you need provide the variables defined in defaults/main.yml. One way to provide this information is calling the testing playbook passing an additional inventory using the following environment variables:

• ANSIBLE_INVENTORY: path to an inventory
• ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE: path to the file containing the vault password required for the previous inventory

cd amtega.netbackup

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