Automated Client Connectivity Verification

After you finish installing Lightbits and configuring the nodes for a cluster, you can use an optional Ansible playbook that verifies the success of the cluster installation and runs basic IO operations to verify the client connectivity.

To use this optional Ansible playbook, the following must be configured:

1. In the host files, the Ansible host file must have the “initiators” section to declare another client server. For more, see Inventory Structure and Adding the Ansible Hosts File.
2. If you want the Ansible script to configure the IP, you must add the host variables file that includes the data_ifaces section. For more, see Configuring the Data Network.

Enter the following command to start the Ansible playbook:

$ ansible-playbook -i <hosts file> playbooks/deploy-nvme-tcp-initiator.yml
