Hi, trying to run a playbook to deploy an IBM i VM on PowerVC using roles such as deploy_vm_via_powervc and testing with ac-hoc command the error is attached log.txt file.

In summary the error is as follows:

MORE information about the ansible controller such as: version, host and ansible.cfg are as follows

#cat ansible.cfg

Something else, I tried using ansible_python_interpreter="/QOpensys/pkgs/bin/python2" and _ansible_python_interpreter="/QOpensys/pkgs/bin/python3" on host file but the same symptom

#ansible --version
ansible 2.9.9
config file = /home/QSECOFR/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/ibm/power_ibmi/playbooks/ansible.cfg
configured module search path = ['/HOME/QSECOFR/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
ansible python module location = /QOpenSys/pkgs/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ansible
executable location = /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/ansible
python version = 3.6.12 (default, Nov 10 2020, 13:50:57) [GCC 6.3.0]

The controller nodes is on IBM i and the endpoint is a PowerVC on RHEL with Python Python 3.6.8 and 2.7.5 are installed.
