Overview
Following the successful creation of AUBURN as an Ansible server, I wanted to create a playbook for the installation of Grid Infrastructure (GI) 12.1.0.2 that could be used as I experimented with GI.

Procedure
Install Oracle Preinstallation RPM
According to step #7 of 3.3 Installing Oracle Linux with Oracle Linux Yum Server Support , I should use the following command to install the Oracle pre-installation RPM:
yum install oracle-rdbms-server-12cR1-preinstall
Create Playbook
The equivalent Ansible playbook entries are:
---
- name: Install Oracle 12.1 pre-installation RPM on REDFERN Cluster
hosts: redfern1.yaocm.id.au
become: true
tasks:
- name: Install Oracle 12.1 pre-installation RPM
yum:
name: oracle-rdbms-server-12cR1-preinstall
state: present
This is stored in preinstall.yml .
Execute Playbook
The playbook ( preinstall.yml ) is executed as follows (on AUBURN :
ansible-playbook -K preinstall.yml
The output is:
SUDO password: PLAY [Install Oracle 12.1 pre-installation RPM on REDFERN Cluster] ************* TASK [Gathering Facts] ********************************************************* ok: [redfern1.yaocm.id.au] TASK [Install Oracle 12.1 pre-installation RPM] ******************************** changed: [redfern1.yaocm.id.au] PLAY RECAP ********************************************************************* redfern1.yaocm.id.au : ok=2 changed=1 unreachable=0 failed=0
Note: If the -K option is not used, then an error message similar to the following is produced:
fatal: [redfern1.yaocm.id.au]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "module_stderr": "Shared connection to redfern1.yaocm.id.au closed.\r\n", "module_stdout": "sudo: a password is required\r\n", "msg": "MODULE FAILURE", "rc": 1}
Confirm Installation of RPM
When I run the same command again, I get the following output:
SUDO password: PLAY [Install Oracle 12.1 pre-installation RPM on REDFERN Cluster] ************* TASK [Gathering Facts] ********************************************************* ok: [redfern1.yaocm.id.au] TASK [Install Oracle 12.1 pre-installation RPM] ******************************** ok: [redfern1.yaocm.id.au] PLAY RECAP ********************************************************************* redfern1.yaocm.id.au : ok=2 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0
