ansible error IP does not appear to be ipv4...

[tall fiber]

when I run my playbook. I get this. I am not understanding what its barking over

TASK [Gather facts] ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: ValueError: "'10.1.2.3'" does not appear to be an IPv4 or IPv6 address

I am just trying to setup connection to my netapp clusters for the first time and am struggling a bit..

It looks loke there are some extra quotes around the IP. Try removing those

Hi that is the weird thing. I seen that but I do not know why or where it is thinking that is. here is my playbook and vars.

---

• hosts: localhost
  name: Setup ONTAP
  gather_facts: false
  vars_files:
  • nvar.yml
    collections:
  • netapp.ontap
    tasks:
  • name: Gather facts
    na_ontap_info:
    state: info
    gather_subset: volume_info
    hostname: "{{ hostname }}"
    vserver: "{{ vserver }}"
    username: "{{ username }}"
    password: "{{ password }}"
    https: true
    validate_certs: false
    register: netapp_info
  • debug:
    msg: "{{ netapp_info.ontap_info.volume_info[item].volume_id_attributes.name }}"
    loop: "{{ netapp_info.ontap_info.volume_info|list }}"

hostname:

• 10.1.2.3
  username:
• admin
  password:
• wishiknewwhatiwasdoing!!
  vserver:
• vserver1

not sure if it needed to be quoted like a string, tried that too, so does not work.

If you copy/pasted from a website like netapp.io it could have hidden characters. You could also try entering the values/settings directly in the playbook instead of from the vars file and see if it works. The IP address doesn't need to be in quotes but it really doesn't matter either way.
