that provides additional prerequisite checks then it invokes the zos_operator_basics.yml
playbook.
If you want to run the primary playbook site.yml it will check that your environment
has the correct version of Ansible as well as the collection needed to execute
correctly. To run the primary playbook, use command:
ansible-playbook -i inventories site.ymlYou can skip the prerequisite check and run the zos_operator_basics.yml with
command:
ansible-playbook -i inventories zos_operator_basics.ymlAll changes are maintained chronologically by date found in the changelog.
