mksysb - revamped module + fix bug in backup_dmapi_fs option #3295
Conversation
I will try to borrow a machine to run tests. |
@kairoaraujo it would be awesome if we could write some unit and integration tests for this and the other AIX-related modules. We will be more than happy to assist with that, and it will give us more confidence when making improvements in the future. Would you be interested and available for that? TIA PS: Valeu! ;-) |
@russoz the diff now looks a bit strange, can you please rebase? |
@felixfontein done |
@kairoaraujo any luck with testing this? |
@kairoaraujo any update on testing? |
Hi @felixfontein, my old P6 does not work anymore; I suspect the power supply. Anyway, I am looking if some colleague can borrow an AIX. |
you could try on my AIX installation, but i need to fix it first as well =) |
I don't really want to merge this without someone having tested it first (especially since this module has no tests run in CI). So if anyone could test this, that would be really great! :) |
I am not sure if here is the best place to start this topic. I had a look at what IBM is doing in https://github.com/IBM/ansible-power-aix. I am not sure how to handle it. |
That's a very good question. One problem with that collection is that it's not included in Ansible, so moving things there would mean that content is no longer there in Ansible. Basically our content would need to be deprecated and removed, and users told to install that collection and use the corresponding modules from it. I'm not sure how many people actually use the AIX modules in this collection, and are interested in working on them (for maintaining them, or adding new features), or even in helping a possible transition. If anyone is interested in reaching out to the maintainers of that collection to start a discussion with them, feel free to do so :) |
I've just remembered this PR. I really hate to let it rot for too long. How about we merge it for community.general 5.0.0? |
Ok, if nobody complains, I'll merge this beginning of next week. Let's get this out. |
