Provision SmartFabric Services using Dell EMC Ansible modules example¶
This example describes how to use Ansible to build a SmartFabric cluster and provision SFS with Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10 switches. The sample topology is built with one spine and two leafs connected as mesh, with BGP running between the leafs. VLTi is configured between the leafs.
The module example also describes the configuration of SFS and provisioning of attributes through REST APIs.
Create an Ansible playbook for SmartFabric setup¶
Step 1
Create an inventory file called hosts.yaml and specify the device IP address and python_interpreter.
leaf1 ansible_host=10.11.180.9 ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3
leaf2 ansible_host=10.11.180.8 ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3
spine1 ansible_host=10.11.180.10 ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3
[Spine]
spine1
[Leaf]
leaf1
leaf2
[LeafAndSpineSwitch:children]
Spine
Leaf
Step 2
Create a host variable file called host_vars/leaf1.yaml, then define the host, credentials, and SFS fabric cluster setup input.
---
ansible_host: 10.11.180.8
ansible_network_os: dellos10
ansible_user: XXXXX
ansible_password: XXXXX
sfs_setup:
- service_enable: True
role: LEAF
icl_ports: ["ethernet1/1/5","ethernet1/1/6"]
Create a host variable file called host_vars/leaf2.yaml, then define the host, credentials, and SFS fabric cluster setup input.
---
ansible_host: 10.11.180.9
ansible_network_os: dellos10
ansible_user: XXXXX
ansible_password: XXXXX
sfs_setup:
- service_enable: True
role: LEAF
icl_ports: ["ethernet1/1/5","ethernet1/1/6"]
Create a host variable file called host_vars/spine1.yaml, then define the host, credentials, and SFS fabric cluster setup input.
---
ansible_host: 10.11.180.10
ansible_network_os: dellos10
ansible_user: XXXXX
ansible_password: XXXXX
sfs_setup:
- service_enable: True
role: SPINE
icl_ports: ["ethernet1/1/5","ethernet1/1/6"]
Step 3
Create a playbook called sfs_setup.yml.
---
- name: SFS setup
hosts: LeafAndSpineSwitch
gather_facts: False
connection: local
roles:
- sfs-setup
Step 4
Run the playbook.
ansible-playbook -i hosts.yaml sfs_setup.yml
Create an Ansible playbook for SmartFabric API services¶
Step 1
Use the same inventory hosts.yaml for provisioning once SFS setup is ready. Create a group variable file called group_vars/sfs.all.yaml, then define the SFS input model.
