PMAX Ansible Galaxy Collection update
I'm new to Ansible. We are using the PMAX Ansible Galaxy Collection v1.6.1 and wish to upgrade to v1.8. Is there a best practice for the upgrade?
Also, we noted changes in task names between these versions which appears replace underscores with dots. I'm guessing playbook tasks will need to be updated. Are there any other updates to existing playbooks that will be needed?
Thank you

Hi @John_TW ,
Using the ansible-galaxy collection install -p will replace the existing binaries in the path with the specified collection binaries. So the playbooks will reference the upgraded collection. Please do let me know if you require any further clarification.
Thanks,
Jennifer.

Hi @John_TW ,
Please use the ansible-galaxy install command to upgrade the collection. Yes, in the latest version, the module names are renamed without the dellemc_powermax prefix. However the modules support redirection, so the playbooks with reference to the modules with the prefix will still work fine with re-routing to the renamed modules as per ansible standards. Please do have a look at the changelog for version specific changes https://github.com/dell/ansible-powermax/blob/master/ChangeLog.md
Thanks,
Jennifer

Thank you Jennifer.
Regarding Ansible collection updates, we should delete the current, download and install new. Can/should we leave the current in place for a period of time?
