  • 1.  running delphix toolkit commands from ansible server

    Posted 09-15-2022 09:03:00 AM

    Hi Team,

    Does anyone have any experience of running toolkit commands using ansible?

    We need to run a toolkit command from within a function in a shared generic script used for many servers.

    function start_vdbs {

for CHRR in SWPF SWPD SRS ; do

echo ${engine_nm}
echo ${category}
echo ${CHRR}
echo ${number}
echo ${TOOLKIT}

. pickora ${category}${CHRR}${number}

#${TOOLKIT}/dx_ctl_db -d ${engine_nm} -configfile ${CONFIG_AREA}/dx_${engine_nm}.conf -action start -name ${category}${CHRR}${number}

~.profile

bash /nfs/oradump_dba/delphix/dxtoolkit/Linux/2.4.15.1/dxtoolkit2/dx_ctl_db -d dxswpd04 -configfile /u01/app/oracle/global/delphix/dxtoolkit/config/dx_dxswpd04.conf -action start -name ${category}${CHRR}${number} > /tmp/dx_ctl_db_${category}${CHRR}${number}.out

bash /nfs/oradump_dba/delphix/dxtoolkit/Linux/2.4.15.1/dxtoolkit2/dx_ctl_db -d dxswpd04 -configfile /u01/app/oracle/global/delphix/dxtoolkit/config/dx_dxswpd04.conf -action start -name ${category}${CHRR}${number} > /tmp/dx_ctl_db_${category}${CHRR}${number}.out

bash /nfs/oradump_dba/delphix/dxtoolkit/Linux/2.4.15.1/dxtoolkit2/dx_ctl_db -d dxswpd04 -configfile /u01/app/oracle/global/delphix/dxtoolkit/config/dx_dxswpd04.conf -action start -name ${category}${CHRR}${number} > /tmp/dx_ctl_db_${category}${CHRR}${number}.out

done

}​


    This function works fine on the local machine but not atm, when run via ansible. There is no output and I think it could be related to symlinks.

    Checking this toolkit command, seems all toolkit commands are symlinks to 'runner'.

    ls -lrt $TOOLKIT

    -rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle oinstall 13560437 May 5 15:41 runner
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle oinstall 1501 May 5 15:41 install.sh
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 oracle oinstall 6 May 11 13:31 dx_config -> runner
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 oracle oinstall 6 May 11 13:31 dx_connection_check -> runner
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 oracle oinstall 6 May 11 13:31 dx_create_env -> runner
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 oracle oinstall 6 May 11 13:31 dx_ctl_analytics -> runner

    ...

    Do you know if its possible to call TOOLKIT commands directly without using a link or if there is any experience of using ansible with delphix toolkit and symlinks etc?

    Many thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Best regards,

    John

    Hi John,

    Dxtoolkit is working fine with Ansible scripts using symlinks - no problem with that at all.
    If there is no output from execution, I would put my money on /tmp system mounted with noexec
    and dxtoolkit is extracting scripts by default there and then execute it.

    regards,
    Marcin

    Thank you very much Marcin.

    Is it possible to specify a different directory instead of /tmp?

    HI,

    you need to set TEMP and TMP environment variable to another directory and it will work fine.

    regards,

    Hi Marcin,

    We have one test server where /tmp is already executable.

    Also, our script works fine locally with  the TOOLKIT script being called and running fine.

    This would suggest /tmp is executanle.

    The problem is running the script from a remote ansible server.

    In this case the TOOLKIT script does not get run.

    Any ideas?
