Ansible - unable to add new firewall to Panorama

L0 Member

Any suggestions here is much appreciated. Brand new firewall built in AWS- I am able to interact with the firewall with ansible using the paloalto role - the only thing that is giving me fits is setting the primary panorama server IP. 

 

Here is my (abbreviated) playbook

 

--- # Initial config
- hosts: panos
  connection: local
  gather_facts: False

  roles:
    - role: paloaltonetworks.paloaltonetworks

  vars:
    pafw:
      username: '{{ username }}'
      password: '{{ password }}'
      ip_address: '{{ inventory_hostname }}'

  tasks:
    - name: Grab the credentials from ansible-vault
      include_vars: firewall-secrets.yml
      no_log: 'yes'

    - name: MgtConfig
      panos_mgtconfig:
        provider: '{{ pafw }}'
        dns_server_primary: "8.8.8.8"
        dns_server_secondary: "4.4.4.4"
        ntp_server_primary: "0.us.pool.ntp.org"
        ntp_server_secondary: "1.us.pool.ntp.org"
        timezone: "US/Eastern"
        panorama_primary: "128.0.0.1"
        commit: True

 

But when I run the playbook, I get an API error

 

    "msg": "Failed to update panorama: Could not get schema node for xpath /config/devices/entry[@name='localhost.localdomain']/deviceconfig/system/panorama-server\n"

Update the pandevice python library.  PAN-OS 9.1 has changed the locations for the primary and secondary panorama server IP addresses, and the more recent version of pandevice has the new xpath locations.

Thanks for the suggestion - I have updated with PIP, but this has still not resulted in success.

I have the same exact issue. I have the latest pandevice python library installed. My Palo Alto firewall is on release 10.0.4 and ansible version 2.9.10

Actually, I found the issue. I did not have pan-os-python installed.

pip install pan-os-python
