Overview
I have accumulated several Ansible playbooks so far, and the complexity is starting to bite. I am now going to start using roles as the recommended way to manage the complexity.

Roles Selected
I am going to start with three (3) roles:
| Name | Description | Playbooks Used |
|---|---|---|
| common | Ansible standard role | None |
| oracle_user | oracle user requirements: privileges; directories |
|
| oracle_gi | Everything needed to install Oracle Grid Infrastructure (GI) |
|
Procedure
Create Roles
To create these roles, I run the following commands on AUBURN :
cd /etc/ansible/roles ansible-galaxy init common ansible-galaxy init oracle_user ansible-galaxy init oracle_gi
The output is:
douglas@auburn:/etc/ansible/roles$ ansible-galaxy init common - common was created successfully douglas@auburn:/etc/ansible/roles$ ansible-galaxy init oracle_user - oracle_user was created successfully douglas@auburn:/etc/ansible/roles$ ansible-galaxy init oracle_gi - oracle_gi was created successfully
Playbook for Oracle User Role
I created the main playbook for the oracle_user role in /etc/ansible/roles/oracle_user/tasks/main.yml with the following code:
---
# tasks file for oracle_user
# =============================================================================
# (1) Creates the Oracle User through the Oracle pre-installation RPM
# (2) Creates the installation directories
# (3) Adds additional groups to the oracle user
# (4) Mounts software directory on NFS
# ==============================================================================
- name: Set up ORACLE user
block:
- import_tasks: preinstall.yml
- import_tasks: install_dir.yml
- import_tasks: user_groups.yml
- import_tasks: oracle_software_src.yml
become: yes
become_user: root
...
Here I use the block to apply the privilege escalation to all of the imported tasks.
Playbook for Oracle GI Role
I created the main playbook for the oracle_gi role in /etc/ansible/roles/oracle_gi/tasks/main.yml with the following code:
---
# tasks file for oracle_gi
# =============================================================================
# (1) Install Oracle ASMLib Driver
# (2) Configure Oracle ASMLib Driver
# ==============================================================================
- name: Install and configure Oracle ASMLib driver
block:
- import_tasks: gi_asm.yml
- import_tasks: oracleasm.yml
become: yes
become_user: root
...
Here I use the block to apply the privilege escalation to all of the imported tasks.
Main Playbook
I created the main playbook for the oracle_user role in /etc/ansible/sites.yml with the following code:
---
- hosts: redfern1.yaocm.id.au
roles:
- oracle_user
- oracle_gi
...
I did not include privilege escalation here because some future tasks will have to run as the oracle user.
Execute Main Playbook
The complete playbook, sites.yml, was executed as follows:
ansible-playbook --ask-become-pass sites.yml
The output was:
