I am checking ping command with ansible to NetApp simulator  , it is throwing me the below error messages

ansible -i filers 192.168.191.18 -m command -a "ping" -vvv

"network interface show"

Hmm, I mean directly using SSH to connect filer and run the command with out the Ansible

[gaurav_verma]

I dont think you can setup direct connection as netapp module for ansible takes care of connection as well with both cluster and svm. 

I mean in module itself you pass the login credentails and you specifiy protocols, certificates etc.

According to the ansible documentation the module "command" execute a command on a remote system. I guess you want to ping the filer from the ansible host.  If so then try with the module "ping"

ansible 192.168.191.18 -i filers -m ping

This is been resolved

Hi, What is your solution?  I have exactly the same issue. 

"ansible 192.168.191.18 -i filers -m ping" is not working neither. /bin/sh is not recognized command, that is the error when I use "-vvv" option. 

Thanks,
