Couldn't create alias #114

w1g · 2023-01-26T11:54:10Z

Hallo,

excuse me, I'm confused by the behavior of this module: when I run my playbook, it isn't reported about any errors and a syccesfully finished, in the audit dump on a brocade switch all commands ran successfully, but a new alias isn't created. Could you please help me to understand where is my mistake or what problem I encountered?

All outputs are here:

As a part of the ansible fos, 1.3.1 release addressed zoning URI issues based on the version of the switch.
Please try with ansible 1.3.1 and let us know if you still see the issues.

Hi Vailii,
Below switch 9.x release, we are using zoing as the URI. Only after 9.x using brocade-zone as the URI. Are there any plans to upgrade to 9.x releases? This will resolve the issue.
Regards,
Prasad
