Ansible is a great tool for DevOps automation. At AdroitLogic, we recently initiated a drive to create Ansible based installation scripts for all of our enterprise product versions. Now an UltraESB cluster can be setup in a matter of minutes by configuring the inventory for the different components that makes up the system. A post on this will come shortly!
However, today we addressed the issue of installing Ansible on a RHEL machine without Internet access. This is a requirement for one of our customers. Unfortunately the Ansible installation instructions does not include steps on how to install the product with raw RPMs on a hardened system without Internet access.
1. Install the YUM download plugin
[root@emw01 ~]# yum install yum-plugin-downloadonly
2. Make a directory to "capture" the packages
[root@emw01 ~]# mkdir /tmp/ansible
3. Proceed with YUM install with following options
[root@emw01 ~]# yum install --downloadonly --downloaddir=/tmp/ansible/ ansible
4. The above step will download all of the required libraries and components to the directory /tmp/ansible. You can now copy these files onto your target system, and install each of the packages as listed below. Since some of the components may depend on others, you may need to tweak the order of components if you are installing a different version of Ansible on a RHEL version other than 6.6
rpm -ivh libyaml-0.1.3-4.el6_6.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh PyYAML-3.10-3.1.el6.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh python-babel-0.9.4-5.1.el6.noarch.rpm
