azure_rm_manageddisk_info managed_by not working

[DII-dsward]

Due to the dynamic inventory script not populating the names of the managed disks attached to a VM, I am trying to pull the names of the managed disks attached to a 'vm fqid'.

    - name: Get Disks managed by VM
      azure_rm_manageddisk_info:
        managed_by: "{{ id }}"
      register: vmdisks
    - debug:
        var: vmdisks

The error returned it...
fatal: [DVMANFSTEST01.dii.local]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Unsupported parameters for (azure_rm_manageddisk_info) module: managed_by Supported parameters include: ad_user, adfs_authority_url, api_profile, append_tags, auth_source, cert_validation_mode, client_id, cloud_environment, name, password, profile, resource_group, secret, subscription_id, tags, tenant"}

Following this documentation
https://github.com/ansible-collections/azure/blob/dev/plugins/modules/azure_rm_manageddisk_info.py

Hi @DII-dsward,
As far as I know, the best way to get this info today is to use azure_rm_virtualmachine_info and look at the returned data_disks list.

Edit: Disregard, this doesn't give as much info as I thought.

Cheers!

I have checked azure_rm_virtualmachine_info, but it does not show the name of the disk. I'm not seeing how to use azure_rm_manageddisk to tag it if i cannot get the name of these disks.

---
- name: Get managed disks
  azure_rm_virtualmachine_info:
    resource_group: "{{ resource_group }}"
    name: "{{ inventory_hostname_short }}"
  register: vminfo
- debug:
    var: vminfo

"data_disks": [
                    {
                        "lun": 0,
                        "disk_size_gb": 10,
                        "managed_disk_type": "Standard_LRS",
                        "caching": "None"
                    }

@kinect1things you're absolutely right, my bad!

However, jumping back to the original post, filtering azure_rm_manageddisk_info with managed_by does work if you give the full VM path (eg /subscriptions/XXXXXX-XXX-XXXX-XXX-XXXXXXXXXX/resourceGroups/RGNAME-eastus2/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/myVM).

This successfully lists the attached disks in my test cases:

    - name: Get Disks associated with my VM
      azure.azcollection.azure_rm_manageddisk_info:
        managed_by: /subscriptions/XXXXXX-XXX-XXXX-XXX-XXXXXXXXXX/resourceGroups/RGNAME-eastus2/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/myVM

@DII-dsward can you confirm which version of the azure collection you are using? I suspect you are using an older version. Support for this was merged in October 2020

[DII-dsward]

This is the playbook i'm using

---
- hosts: vms
  connection: local
  collections:
    - azure.azcollection
  tasks:
     - debug:
        var: id
    - name: Get Disks managed by VM
      azure_rm_manageddisk_info:
        managed_by: "{{ id }}"
      register: vmdisks
    - debug:
        var: vmdisks

The Output looks like this

PLAY [vms] ***********************************************************
TASK [debug] *******************************************************************

    "id": "/subscriptions/XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXXX/resourceGroups/resourcegroup1/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/SERVERNAME"

@DII-dsward what does ansible-galaxy collection list azure.azcollection show on your system ?

[DII-dsward]

Here is the output and ansible version.

$ ansible-galaxy collection list azure.azcollection
usage: ansible-galaxy collection [-h] COLLECTION_ACTION ...
ansible-galaxy collection: error: argument COLLECTION_ACTION: invalid choice: 'list' (choose from 'init', 'build', 'publish', 'install')

  config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg

@DII-dsward you're on an older version of ansible, so I think ansible-galaxy collection list doesn't work.

If you run ansible-galaxy collection install -vvv azure.azcollection, you will see the path where collections are installed as well as the version:

ansible-galaxy 2.9.27
  config file = None
  configured module search path = ['/home/nbr23/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /tmp/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ansible
  executable location = /tmp/venv/bin/ansible-galaxy
  python version = 3.9.7 (default, Oct 10 2021, 15:13:22) [GCC 11.1.0]
No config file found; using defaults
Found installed collection azure.azcollection:1.10.0 at '/home/nbr23/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/azure/azcollection'

Let me know what you get, but most likely your azcollection is outdated and you will need to install a newer version.

Thanks!

@DII-dsward what does ansible-galaxy collection list azure.azcollection show on your system ?

@nbr23 According to your error log, you are using the old ansible-collections version, please upgrade the ansible-collection and try again. Thank you very much!

Upgrade to latest:   ansible-galaxy collection install azure.azcollection --force

[nbr23]

@Fred-sun correct, I was reproducing the issue @DII-dsward is having. I agree this looks like they need to upgrade their collection :)

[DII-dsward]

I have confirmed I am using azure.azcollection 1.10.0 by looking at the collection MANIFEST.json $ cd /var/lib/awx/projects/.__awx_cache/_26__repo_of_doom/#####/requirements_collections/ansible_collections/ansible_collections/azure/azcollection $ cat MANIFEST.json | grep version "version": "1.10.0",
