Why does the TASK [infiniband_switch_config : Authentication failure response] fail with the message: Status code was -1 and not [302]: Request failed: <urlopen error [Errno 111] Connection refused> on Infiniband Switches when executing infiniband_switch_config.yml playbook?

Potential Cause: To configure a new Infiniband Switch, HTTP and JSON gateway must be enabled. To verify that they are enabled, run:

  • Check if HTTP is enabled: show web

  • Check if JSON Gateway is enabled: show json-gw

Resolution: To correct the issue, run:

  • Enable the HTTP gateway: web http enable

  • Enable the JSON gateway: json-gw enable

During consecutive runs of the server_spec_update.yml playbook, the additional NICs may not be configured according to the inputs provided in the input/server_spec.yml file, or any unexpected behavior may occur.

Potential Cause: Omnia does not support modifying the category definitions (for example, nic_name, nicnetwork, or nictype) in input/server_spec.yml or changing the category details in the inventory file provided, during consecutive runs of the server_spec_update.yml playbook.

Resolution: Re-provision the nodes.
