Oracle modules for Ansible
- If you have any questions/requests just create an issue and I'll look into it
- I've also included a playbook (test-modules.yml) that'll give you an idea on how the modules can be used.
To use the modules, create a 'library' directory next to your top level playbooks and put the different modules in that directory. Then just reference them as you would any other module. For more information, check out: http://docs.ansible.com/developing_modules.html
Most (if not all) requires cx_Oracle either on your controlmachine or on the managed node.
The default behaviour for the modules using cx_Oracle is this:
- If neither username or password is passed as input to the module(s), the use of an Oracle wallet is assumed.
- In that case, the
cx_Oracle.makedsnstep is skipped, and the connection will use the'/@<service_name>'format instead. - You then need to make sure that you're using the correct tns-entry (service_name) to match the credential stored in the wallet.
These are the different modules:
oracle_user
pre-req: cx_Oracle
- Creates & drops a user.
- Grants privileges only (can not remove them with oracle_user, use oracle_grants for that)
oracle_tablespace
pre-req: cx_Oracle
- Manages normal(permanent), temp & undo tablespaces (create, drop, make read only/read write, offline/online)
- Tablespaces can be created as bigfile, autoextended
oracle_grants
pre-req: cx_Oracle
- Manages privileges for a user
- Grants/revokes privileges
- Handles roles/sys privileges properly. Does NOT yet handle object privs. They can be added but they are not considered while revoking privileges
- The grants can be added as a string (dba,'select any dictionary','create any table'), or in a list (ie.g for use with with_items)
oracle_role
pre-req: cx_Oracle
- Manages roles in the database
oracle_parameter
pre-req: cx_Oracle
- Manages init parameters in the database (i.e alter system set parameter...)
- Also handles underscore parameters. That will require using mode=sysdba, to be able to read the X$ tables needed to verify the existence of the parameter.
Note: When specifying sga-parameters the database requests memory based on granules which are variable in size depending on the size requested, and that means the database may round the requested value to the nearest multiple of a granule. e.g sga_max_size=1500M will be rounded up to 1504 (which is 94 granules of 16MB). That will cause the displayed value to be 1504M, which has the effect that the next time the module is is run with a desired value of 1500M it will be changed again. So that is something to consider when setting parameters that affects the SGA.
oracle_services
pre-req: cx_Oracle (if GI is not running)
- Manages services in an Oracle database (RAC/Single instance)
Note: At the moment, Idempotence only applies to the state (present,absent,started, stopped). No other options are considered.
oracle_pdb
pre-req: cx_Oracle
- Manages pluggable databases in an Oracle container database
- Creates/deletes/opens/closes the pdb
- saves the state if you want it to. Default is yes
- Can place the datafiles in a separate location
oracle_sql
pre-req: cx_Oracle
- 2 modes: sql or script
- Executes arbitrary sql or runs a script
Note: Should be considered as experimental, or an alpha-release
oracle_asmdg
pre-req: cx_Oracle
- Manages ASM diskgroup state. (absent/present)
- Takes a list of disks and makes sure those disks are part of the DG. If the disk is removed from the disk it will be removed from the DG.
- Also manages attributes
Note:
- Supports redundancy levels, but does not yet handle specifying failuregroups
oracle_asmvol
- Manages ASM volumes. (absent/present)
oracle_ldapuser
pre-req: cx_Oracle, ldap, re
- Syncronises users/role grants from LDAP/Active Directory to the database
oracle_privs
pre-req: cx_Oracle, re
- Manages system and object level grants
- Object level grant support wildcards, so now it is possible to grant access to all tables in a schema and maintain it automatically!
oracle_jobclass
pre-req: cx_Oracle
- Manages DBMS_SCHEDULER job classes
oracle_jobschedule
pre-req: cx_Oracle, re
- Manages DBMS_SCHEDULER job schedules
oracle_jobwindow
pre-req: cx_Oracle, datetime
- Manages DBMS_SCHEDULER windows
oracle_job
pre-req: cx_Oracle, re
- Manages DBMS_SCHEDULER jobs
oracle_rsrc_consgroup
pre-req: cx_Oracle, re
- Manages resource manager consumer groups including its mappings and grants
oracle_awr
pre-req: cx_Oracle, datetime
- Manages AWR snapshot settings
oracle_facts
pre-req: cx_Oracle
- Gathers facts about Oracle database
oracle_gi_facts
- Gathers facts about Grid Infrastructure cluster configuration
oracle_stats_prefs
pre-req: cx_Oracle
- Managing DBMS_STATS global preferences
oracle_redo
pre-rec: cx_Oracle
- Manage redo-groups and their size in RAC or single instance environments
- NOTE: For RAC environments, the database needs to be in ARCHIVELOG mode. This is not required for SI environments.
oracle_db
pre-rec: cx_Oracle
- Create/remove databases (cdb/non-cdb)
- Can be created by passing in a responsefile or just by using parameters
