[FEATURE]: Remove Device from an openmanage static group
I am trying to remove a device from a static group and add it to another one however the parameter state : absent is not supported.
ome_device_group: hostname: '{{ ome_ip }}' username: '{{ ome_user }}' password: '{{ ome_pass }}' validate_certs: no name: '{{ static_group }}' state: "absent" # not yet supported device_service_tags: - '{{ Service_tag }}'
Describe alternatives you've considered
The alternative is to remove the device from openmanage ,rediscover and add it to the desired group however this ome device remove module is not available.
Is there any update \ new module in the pipeline that could help reaching this task?
@Wal-E9871 , removal of devices from OME static group is not supported in ansible module because there is no REST API support in OME. Also, I am not sure you can remove a device from a custom static group using WebUI in OME as well. One workaround you can use in meantime is to create a new static group with the right set of devices and delete the old static group.
@anupamaloke : Removing a device from a group can be done from GUI by editing the static group and then deselect the device from the list. if I am not wrong there is a REST API to remove a device from a static group using below: https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-uk/dell-openmanage-enterprise-tech-release/lex_techrel_pub/groups-service?guid=guid-894c21ef-14f8-44ea-9e98-9e4e613ca4a3 The issue is that i have interactions between static groups , devices should move from a group to another depending on some conditions
@Wal-E9871, I stand corrected. Thank you for sharing the REST API documentation. I have added this requirement to the backlog.
@Wal-E9871, also let me know if this is something that you would like to submit a PR for :-)
