Emgr module? about ansible-aix-support HOT 5 OPEN

I was thinking about it too.. may be I'll try to write one if there is a slow week.
tbh I don't see a major advantage of installing ifixes through ansible vs running a couple of DSH commands. But I'm new to ansible :)

I added a simple emgr module with support for --check mode. Please see fork at https://github.com/k3it/ansible-aix-support

# Examples:
#
#  - name: Install xorgs ifix /foo/bar/xorg_fix3/IJ11544s0a.181127.epkg.Z
#    emgr:
#      package: /foo/bar/xorg_fix3/IJ11544s0a.181127.epkg.Z
#      state: present
#
#  - name: Remove ifix with label IJ11544s0a
#    emgr:
#      label: IJ11544s0a
#      state: absent

If works I can submit a pull request.

@k3it please do submit the pr. It would probably best to submit it straight to Ansible though as there is now a working AIX group and @kairoaraujo is a lead on it

Sure I will take a look at sending a pr to the ansible aix repo. If you can give this module a try and let me know if you see any issues it would be helpful. it seems to work ok in our aix environment and fairly straight forward.

Haha I made ansibot very unhappy. Have to fix a few things..
