Hi @travelerdb ,
From the error message, it looks like installed PyU4V SDK is incompatible with the Unisphere version. Could you please confirm the PyU4V SDK version installed? Could you please install PyU4V SDK version 9.1 for unisphere 9.1?
Thanks,
Jennifer

Hi @travelerdb ,
As per error message, browsing https:// k:8443/univmax/restapi/version seems to not return a valid json
From the playbook that you have shared, unispherehost has the storage port mentioned along with the host name "{ { inventory_hostname }}:{ { storageport }}". The value for unispherehost should just be the IP or FQDN of the Unisphere host. Could you please try with updated playbook values?
For more documentation and examples the ansible-doc dellemc.powermax.info command can be executed.
Please let me know of any further clarifications.
Thanks,
Jennifer

Thanks @jennifer_john , that did get it a bit further to basically saying the version is unsupported, however, my understanding is that it supports 9.1 and 9.2, should it support 9.1?
{"changed": false, "module_stderr": "Unisphere version V9.1.0.18 does not meet the minimum requirement of v9.2.0.x Please upgrade your version of Unisphere to use this SDK. Exiting...\n", "module_stdout": "", "msg": "MODULE FAILURE\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error", "rc": 1}
