If you have not configured refer page Login to server node and create a directory to save all the work done in one location Eg:mywork [root@ansible ~]# mkdir mywork [root@ansible ~]# cd mywork/ Create new file called "hosts" under "mywork" and add your client host name in the file as shown below. [root@ansible mywork]# cat hosts [mynodes] node01 Now is the time to check if ansible from server machine able to communicate to client node01 To check this we will use ansible module called ping.
