CONFIGURATION

OS / ENVIRONMENT

aruba_command failed for : Aruba model : J9729A C, Software revision : WB.16.02.0012 aruba_command worked for : Aruba model : JL262A, Software revision : WC.16.09.0001

       commands:
         - show system
       provider: "{{ provider1 }}"

=> This playbook always run well for Aruba model : JL262A, Software revision : WC.16.09.0001, if launched from ansible-playbook or from AWX

=> This playbook always run well for Aruba model : J9729A C, Software revision : WB.16.02.0012 if launched from ansible-playbook

=> This playbook always failed for Aruba model : J9729A C, Software revision : WB.16.02.0012 if launched from awx
