Ansible Modules for HP Switches (Comware 7)

[Gineesh]

I was developing some latest playbooks for HP Switches (HP 5130 - CMW710) and noticed the 3rd party modules (refer link below) are not working any more with latest Ansible version (ansible 2.9.9). Also I found the repository is not maintained anymore (or last update was few years ago).

• Module Repo : https://github.com/HPENetworking/ansible-hpe-cw7

• Documentation : https://hp-ansible.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html

Could anyone advise if there are Ansible modules for HP switches ? (eg: HP 5130)

Or any other best practice to implement Ansible for HP Network Automation ?

Notes:

• I have tried raw, cli_commands like modules to achieve the dirty way of executing commands, but failed with those.

• Already enabled netconf on devices but still fail with ansible_connection=network_cli or ansible_connection=netconf

Thanks in advance.

I am also interested in the topic

we have already dropped that plan to use those and used direct "raw" commands instead

I also think it's not maintained anymore. Getting errors while trying simple comware_ping & comware_facts command. I'm using Ansible 2.9.16.
