Ansible modules for managing Solarish systems

This repository contains modules for managing certain aspects of Solarish systems. There are plans to bring these modules into ansible-modules-extra repository in the future. These modules are developed under OpenIndiana or SmartOS. Modules are also known to work on Oracle Solaris.

So far, following modules have been developed:

Solaris/illumos networking

• ~~dladm_etherstub - Manage etherstubs on Solaris/illumos systems.~~ (already upstreamed)
• ~~dladm_vnic - Manage VNICs on Solaris/illumos systems.~~ (already upstreamed)
• ~~dladm_iptun - manage IP tunnel interfaces on Solaris/illumos systems.~~ (already upstreamed)
• ~~dladm_vlan - manage VLAN links on Solaris/illumos systems~~ (already upstreamed)
• ~~dladm_linkprop - manage link properties on Solaris/illumos systems.~~ (already upstreamed)
• ~~ipadm_addr - manage IP addresses on Solaris/illumos systems.~~ (already upstreamed)
• ~~ipadm_addrprop - manage IP address properties on Solaris/illumos systems.~~ (already upstreamed)
• ~~ipadm_if - Manage IP interfaces on Solaris/illumos systems.~~ (already upstreamed)
• ~~ipadm_ifprop - manage interface properties on Solaris/illumos systems.~~ (already upstreamed)
• ~~ipadm_prop - Manage protocol properties on Solaris/illumos systems.~~ (already upstreamed)
• ~~flowadm - Manage bandwidth resource control and priority for protocols, services and zones.~~ (already upstreamed)

Solaris/illumos processes

• solaris_project - Manage Solaris/illumos projects

ZFS datasets and pools

• ~~zfs_facts - Gather facts about ZFS datasets.~~ (already upstreamed)
• ~~zpool_facts - Gather facts about ZFS pools.~~ (already upstreamed)

Boot Environments

• ~~beadm - manage ZFS boot environments on Solaris/illumos/FreeBSD systems.~~ (already upstreamed)

SmartOS

• ~~smartos_image_facts - Get SmartOS image details.~~ (already upstreamed)
• smartos_image_source - Manage image sources on SmartOS compute nodes.

How to install

Download desired modules and place it under library/ directory in your ansible repository.

Future development and desired modules

I plan to develop more modules. The list of following modules, which I will be working on in the near future:

Solaris/illumos

Networking

• dladm_aggr - manage link aggregations on Solaris/illumos systems
• dladm_bridge - manage bridges on Solaris/illumos systems
• routeadm - manage IP forwarding and routing configuration on Solaris/illumos systems

System

• coreadm - core file administration
• dumpadm - configure operating system crash dump
• ldom_facts - gather facts about LDOMs
• kstat_facts - query kstats for facts

Storage

• zpool - manage (Open)ZFS pools on Linux/FreeBSD/Solaris/illumos systems

Logging

• logadm - manage log rotations on Solaris/illumos systems

SMF

• smf_property - manage SMF properties on Solaris/illumos systems
• smf_manifest - manage SMF manifests on Solaris/illumos systems
• smf_instance - manage SMF instances on Solaris/illumos systems

Boot Environments

• beadm_facts - get facts about boot environments on Solaris/illumos/FreeBSD systems

IPS

• pkg5_mediator - manage IPS mediators on Solaris/illumos systems

Other ideas

I am also open to new ideas for modules and collaboration.

SmartOS

In the future, I might also develop modules for SmartOS. However, I am not using it on a daily basis nowadays, so development might lag.

Networking

• nictagadm - manage nic tags on SmartOS systems
