Create Logical volumes with lvm.yml in all nodes according to following
requirements.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Create a new Logical volume named as 'data'
* LV should be the member of 'research' Volume Group
* LV size should be 1500M
* It should be formatted with ext4 file-system.
--> If Volume Group does not exist then it should print the message "VG Not found"
--> If the VG can not accommodate 1500M size then it should print "LV Can not be
created with
following size", then the LV should be created with 800M of size.
--> Do not perform any mounting for this LV.

Create user accounts
------------------------
--> A list of users to be created can be found in the file called user_list.yml
which you should download from http://classroom.example.com/user_list.yml and
save to /home/admin/ansible/
--> Using the password vault created elsewhere in this exam, create a playbook called
create_user.yml
that creates user accounts as follows:
--> Users with a job description of developer should be:
--> created on managed nodes in the "dev" and "test" host groups assigned the
password from the "dev_pass"
variable and these user should be member of supplementary group "devops".
--> Users with a job description of manager should be:
--> created on managed nodes in the "prod" host group assigned the password from
the "mgr_pass" variable
and these user should be member of supplementary group "opsmgr"
--> Passwords should use the "SHA512" hash format. Your playbook should work using
the vault password file
created elsewhere in this exam.

Install and configure ansible
User bob has been created on your control node. Give him the appropriate permissions on the control node. Install the necessary packages to run ansible on the control node.
Create a configuration file /home/bob/ansible/ansible.cfg to meet the following requirements:
* The roles path should include /home/bob/ansible/roles, as well as any other path that may be required for the course of the sample exam.
* The inventory file path is /home/bob/ansible/inventory.
* Ansible should be able to manage 10 hosts at a single time.
* Ansible should connect to all managed nodes using the bob user.
Create an inventory file for the following five nodes:
nodel.example.com
node2.example.com
node3.example.com
node4.example.com
node5.example.com
Configure these nodes to be in an inventory file where node1 is a member of group dev. nodc2 is a member of group test, nodc3 is a member of group proxy, nodc4 and node 5 are members of group prod. Also, prod is a member of group webservers.
